That is a mouthful of a username.

*shrug* At the end of the day, you still deserve some flowers, raisin-free cookies and a boozy-drink. (As do at least a dozen other users here.)

Also, for you. For your IRL work and your always awesome commentary here.

There’s the whole thing with climate change and how that impacts minority communities. Gutting the EPA so Trump can finally get Wall Street to like him again is dangerous.

As a woman who worked in two STEM fields, I wonder why it took the movie Hidden Figures for me to learn that black women were instrumental in getting men to the moon. And it took the movie to find out that the damn book existed. (Currently working on that - I find I have to put it down from time to time because it’s

I was being polite. I think it’s pretty much the top of her butt. Ugh.

I know when I hug someone who isn’t my husband, I always put one of my hands on their lower-back. ‘Cause that’s not fucking creepy or pushy or anything.

As much as I love the Whedonverse, I’ve always taken his feminism with a grain of salt. I always felt like “strong female characters” shouldn’t just be because they have supernatural powers or were messed with by scientists or were bad-ass military women. And two of the most heart-breaking character arcs with

I know there are many, many uses for duct-tape. THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM. AT ALL. EVER. EVER. NEVER. EVER.

I will never, ever warm to HamNo because of his going to Howard as it was “basically hip-hop university.” Because I spent some time as an after-school tutor for Anacostia middle-school kids during the late 90's. That was not how those kids thought of Howard.

I don’t know if those buildings have an option to use Route 1 - it could be a legal mailing address thing. My husband and I live in a condo that has a second/private entrance that’s on the side of our building, so our legal address is where that entrance hits the sidewalk, not the main building address. To get UPS or

I know. That smile is making me smile and tear up a little bit. What a tremendous heart that little girl’s got.

Oh god bless the healing ability of youth and an obviously excellent burn center. Wishing her a nice cloudy fall so she can go outside and get some fresh air.

I didn’t see it as telling POC to stop protesting - I saw it as giving permission to white people to not protest. I could be wrong, it’s just what it felt like to me. (The turnout in Boston is certainly reassuring.)

*Actually, I don’t really have plans for tonight. But if you want to buy me a drink or some sheet cake or something, I’m game.

Have you seen this article? This paragraph in particular is cracking me up:

I could barely get through that piece. Mostly, I just wanted to add Krein to that “most punchable face” thread that was happening somewhere on The Root at one point last week. (I can’t remember which article it was on, and the Kinja notifications do NOT help with that anymore.)

This Gen Xer is tired, sure. This Gen Xer is also used to disappointments.

I’m so sorry you have to go through this. Family - feeling obligated to them even when they hurt you - is difficult.

I was gonna be a smart-ass and post a picture of fish in aspic (yes, there are pictures of it *hurk*), but on a lark I googled “sushi jello” and came up with this atrocity.
