Using the term ‘transracial’ for this is super annoying, because the term ALREADY means something and it’s not what it’s being used for here. I’ve come across it in regards to transracial adoptions, which refers to when a child is adopted into a family of a different race. This is actually a really important issue for…

Since I was 5 I’ve identified as the Batman. It doesn’t matter that I’m a 30 something black male. People should respect my identity and address me as Batman.

I see myself as transcorporeal. This physical form is just an affectation of biological circumstance. I really identify as a ghost.

I went on one last year for people on the autism spectrum. It wasn’t my first trip to Israel, but it was my first without my family. I loved most of it but I knew that it wasn’t the whole story. It was hard to reconcile this beautiful place with some of the things I knew about it. I kept thinking about that story “The…

thank you baby jesus.

I’ll take “Whore Ally Knows Anyway” for $800, Alex.

My dad rescued an abused Doberman back in the 70’s (and by rescue I mean stole from the owner because he witnessed the abuse). This dog literally hated and distrusted everyone except for my dad. She got out one day and a neighbor my dad had never met brought her back, she was letting him pet her and everything. My dad…

My cousin had this little Papillion mix who detested any kind of wrestling or scuffling between people. You could be sitting on the couch and smack the person’s knee next to you—or heck, your own knee—and he’d come running through the house to growl and snap at whoever’s hands until they stopped. He took peacekeeping…

“Did someone say ‘steak’?”

love the stock photo, and now i must post my frenchies.

My dog can tell if I don’t really like someone. He then proceeds to lick the fuck out of them and wag his tail and make those people linger in my presence because he is just that adorable. My dog is kind of a dick.

Read WonderWomanist posts on this story and you’ll see why someone pretending to be black and talk about black issues is harmful.

All evidence points to an inherent pathology of lying to draw attention to herself. Everything from issuing a fake statement from her fake (black) father announcing he was going to speak at a local NAACP event (later saying he wasn’t going to be able to make it after all), to allegedly sending herself hate mail and…

That is insanely responsible of you. Never ever ever are those people getting more than my minimum required payment. The government and I both know that they’re not getting their $150k back, so I refuse to pretend.

In other news, I left Direct Student Loans a really big tip this morning. Got a check for my birthday - made an extra payment. According to their interest calculator, I just saved myself like ... $50 over ten years. WHERE’S MY DIRTBAG BULLET POINT?

I think this IS important but daaamn you are so correct. This is why I said in my comment that white women are just as bad as white men. They act like they are so above all of this shit but as you said, 6 articles about McKinney but 23623452 about her. It’s the Duggars all over again. Your last sentence is fucking…

Then, may I invite you to The Salad Bowl? It’s a sub-blog run by POC for POC.

I’m white and acutely aware of my place when I teach. I often wonder if I even should be teaching on race, but it’s part of my job and I continually try to do the best I can-and do it better next time and the next time.

Yes. I am whitish, and I talk to my African American lit classes about the complexities of my teaching the class. They usually say that my authority derives from my Ph.D. and is helped by my attitude. I think what bugs me here is that she’s substituting “experience “ for scholarship. I’m not saying that experience…
