Man, that’s hard. Sorry to hear that.

The tutor I hired to help me in undergrad was actually a gentleman I worked with but he was in a separate department and we hardly saw each other. Another coworker told me about how he’d helped her daughter pass HS algebra with flying colors, so she gave me his number. He’s from Kenya and is the smartest man I’ve ever…
Goodness, yes. Having an LD is often mistaken for laziness or apathy. It’s a terribly frustrating feeling. A big issue for me when I was in school was that my math teachers and my mom didn’t address my inability to learn. They simply saw it as me being disrespectful by not bringing my book to class or putting my head…
My pleasure, and good for you.
Wow. The stigma is real.
I nearly didn’t graduate from high school because I couldn’t pass the math. It got to where I’d go to algebra w/trig/geometry/calculus class without my book and just put my head down. In 1988 in Montgomery, AL, no one in my school ever mentioned dyscalculia, which I now know would have explained why I failed math (and…
In 10th grade, I had a classmate, a white dude who was the same 15-16 as everybody else, who had a FULL beard. Dude looked like a lumberjack. It never failed on the first day of school up to senior year that underclassmen swore he was faculty. We called him “Teach.” Wit his Paul Bunyan looking ass.
Viola Davis is from there. Yes.
Well, okay Mo’Nique, you don’t have to throw her away. But you also don’t have to rest her head on your bosom and go, “There, there, sista.” Fuck all that. She said what she said, and it wasn’t the first time she pulled some shit like that and it won’t be the last, even after this latest mighty fuck up. Far be it from…
I refuse to even buy sneakers with white soles. Naw, sir.
Fuck explaining ANY motherfucking thing to that cracker-ass motherfucking-ass motherfucking racist motherfucker. And fuck his insincere motherfucking-ass motherfucking apology. Hit that motherfucker in his POCKET. That’s the only thing these racist-ass motherfuckers understand. Fuck’em. I don’t have the vocab for…
Motherfucking right. :)
This motherfucker is a motherfucking motherfucker.
I find that people either love PIB or they hate it. The former because it shed a much needed light on the black and Latinx gay and trans community as well as the beginnings of Harlem house culture and the perpetuation of black drag balls. The latter for completely bypassing the HIV/AIDS epidemic and exploiting black…
You know, I saw some of those photos earlier today on MSN and was like, “That’s Dapper Dan right there!”
She cute. I’m ready for the day that extended tongues, slicked-down baby hair (either one’s own or on a lace front), and super-groomed eyebrows are no longer a thing - separately or grouped together.
Now playing
This is a documentary released in 1968 titled “The Queen.” At the 55:25 mark, behold the fabulous drag mother Crystal LaBeija (just known as Crystal then) exit the stage over that racist bs. You can forward to the one-hour mark to see the infamous backstage scene that sparked the creation of the African-American drag…
It means that now Sharapova gets to gloat because Serena pulled out due to an injury, as if the former actually had a chance of winning.
