I married a corny guy and I hope my daughter does too.

I squee’d quite loudly when I saw the top picture. Both because those girls are just the cutest, and I am a STEM-girl so I got what those costumes were before I even saw the book in the middle girl’s hands. Thank you so much for sharing that.

When my sisters and I stayed with my grandma one Halloween we were #1. A pimp. #2. A prostitute. And I unfortunately was a crackhead. 😭 #BlackHalloween.

Invite her to the cookou...?

Cool. Agreed.

Yep, she did make a poor choice, which is why I said I disagreed with her and she’s not my people. I’m still not mocking her miscarriage, nor shrugging off suicidal thoughts because she sang at Trump’s inauguration.

Considering that I say “all skin folk ain’t kinfolk” all the time, I find it interesting that you should try to use that here.

Sorry, those aren’t white tears. White tears are what I got all over my facebook page when I suggested that women who voted for Trump really weren’t allowed to do “hashtag metoo.” Oh the whiteness! “This is not okay,” was the most common response. Meaning my comment. Not the spectacle of female Trump voters going…

So, in the menacing stranger category, an ultimately OK but potentially harrowing thing happened to me last night. I was walking home in the after work hours last night but the sun had gone down.

As I told Tonja Stidhum (one of the writingest wimmenz I know), I’ll be damned if I miss out on the macaroni and cheese because you niggas are out here inviting everybody who smiles at you and hugging Nazis at the cookout. Go-go gadget: higher standards.

“But stop inviting everybody to the motherfucking cookout. Love yourself and respect your blackness a little bit more.”

I’m not a Luddite - I worked in the Internet industry for over a decade. But I don’t even want a god-damn Amazon Echo in the house, because I don’t want Amazon listening in to my life. I know exactly what the hell people do with that data, and how poorly it’s protected. (Ditto for any “Internet of Things” appliance or…

Listen white people just because someone black brown or yellow was hired instead of you doesn’t mean you were discriminated against, it just means you’re not good enough.

Fix URL please? Kinja broke it.

Someone else who found that Luke Cage helped him find value in who he was:

I’m 82% African. I’m blacker than Ava DuVernay!

Jesus what a mess. Nothing about this is sweet. That dude is guilty as hell and trying to buy back his daughter’s love or loyalty or some nonsense. Gross gross gross.
