On the flip side, I’m a Black woman without much ass and I’ve been made fun of for it constantly, often by other Black people BECAUSE I don’t fit that mold. On black-ish, the teen daughter Zoe makes a comment about how a boy broke up with her because she had no booty. That’s totally happened to me. And remember Martin…

She’s talking about her ass, which black women have been mocked and degraded for having, for decades. We have been hyper sexualized as CHILDREN because of it. It was a mark of such embarrassment for many of us growing up, and I absolutely include myself in that. I was overly concerned with the way my butt moved too…

Lorde writes: “i retweeted kim’s amazing cover and wrote ‘MOM’, which among the youthz is a compliment; it basically jokingly means ‘adopt me/be my second mom/i…

I think she’s past that point now. Her decisions are not hers. She’s in Ke$haland now. Best of luck to her. Great voice. Unique. Risky business.

Chill out—it’s that new internet slang all the kids are doing.

I don’t think it’s an insult. It’s what young people call their faves now. (I’ve also seen people call their favorite couples parents, like “Chrissy Teigen and John Legend are my parents!”) Not sure why. Maybe it’s tied to the phrase “gives me life” which is another expression of admiration. For example: “Lorde’s new…
