Agreed. I’ve had two kids and I loved wearing things that were like this. It felt good. I don’t know why, I’m not scentist. I wasn’t trying to compress anything or not look pregnant, it just felt nice to have some additional support. I was hugely pregnant in the summer and having something to prevent thigh rub was…

I would have worn the hell out of the pregnancy support wear when I was pregnant with twins. 

You’re not wrong, but - as I’ve seen on so many protest signs - white silence is violence. We absolutely need to do better about calling out racist behaviour, just like we expect men to call out their friends’/coworkers’ sexist behaviour.

If they were capable of shame, they wouldn’t say these things in the first place.

Fuck this guy...

Read Lost White Tribes, by Riccardo Orizio. It’s got an entire chapter about the Confederales, a group of Southerners who left after the Civil War and headed to Brazil, where their descendants still live. One reason they selected Brazil? Hint; our Civil war ended in 1865.

The fact that both the American colonies and Jamaica were possessions of the same empire has nothing to do with the United States of America? The Middle Passage/Triangular trade of slaves/raw materials/manufactured goods that involved the British Empire and her colonies until 1809 had nothing to do with the United…

That you can get all that information so quickly and easily is really wonderful. That you are unable to usefully interpret any of it is frankly appalling. I hope high school goes better for you than middle school has.

I have stopped being amazed by the number of grown men and women who are surprised when I explain that as someone of Jamaican ethnicity, I am indeed descended from slaves. I suppose in their mind they think that all those black people in the Caribbean, South America and Latin America were just hanging out on beaches…

...but it has everything to do with that idiot saying that her ancestry does not go back through slavery

I don’t know where you thought I was bragging about how awesome the USA was, but “the royals are great actually” is a weird hill to die on. Also, it’s not just the UK. 

If your argument is that the US is also shit, yes, I agree. But if you’re trying to claim that because the UK has done some stuff right (although given your recent history I’d think about hopping down off that high horse) that means that having royals make sense, fuck off with that whataboutism. 

Anyone who thought Meghan Markle was going to fit into that clown show and be accepted was delusional (including Markle herself.) Which makes me laugh because Fergie and Diana never did either, and Sarah Ferguson was as common as they come and embarrassed herself and her family royally. Markle gave a misguided…

I’m usually Team Sussex in any M&H drama, but I side with Eugenie here. It’s not cool to announce your pregnancy at someone else’s wedding without their permission, especially when you *just* had your own enormous, fancy wedding and are technically “more important” than the person getting married as more…

Prince Andrew’s daughter is dissatisfied with the idea that she isn’t the favorite of her generation? I didn’t realize entitlement was a heritable trait.

Why is the royal family still a thing? Why does anyone care what these inbred fucks have to say? 

Hey “blood” princesses, neither of you will ever be queen. Your father is a disgrace and your mother isn’t much better.

Well this is much easier to focus on than having a pedophile for a father. 

How did this announcement actually go down? I wouldn’t be shocked if both were repeatedly asked “wHeN YoU GOnNa HaVe A BaBY?!” and then it just came out. I mean, not great but shit happens. Since people are always constantly pushing you to the next milestone even if you just recently cleared one. If it was a stand up,…

Ok, it’s basic etiquette that you don’t use someone else’s event to draw attention to yourself, though. No grabbing the mike to propose at someone else’s wedding, no announcing your engagement at someone else’s shower or gender reveal, and yeah, no announcing pregnancy at someone else’s wedding parties.
