Nope. Not at all, just that the point is white men are the standard to which everyone else is held. If you fall outside of that, based on our societal norms and mores here, you are marginalized to some degree.

Whenever I drank and have even one cig, I would vomit violently well into the ext afternoon. Couldn't keep a thing down, not even water...

My friend took a women's studies course a few years back, and she told me this, which I think sums up everything quite nicely: "When a black woman looks in the mirror, she sees a black woman; when a white woman looks in the mirror, she sees a woman. When a black man looks in the mirror, he sees a black man; when a…

I love this. Thank you for all of this.

Like someone said earlier, start with chicken! It's so simple and compliments almost anything. Also, I like making things I can munch on, because I love to snack, but I don't really like processed sweets and stuff. Go with a basic granola recipe, or (it's worth the money) get a dehydrator and dry your own fruit. It's…

So I'm sitting here, working overnight, just wanting to go home. On the plus side, it's been very quiet, so if the powers that be have any mercy on me, tonight shouldn't be bad. How is everyone? Anything new??

For sure. I love that it does. It's so comfortable, and that can be hard to find...

I... Love this!

So I am getting back into working out after not for some time (you know, grad school ate up any time that wasn't bolted down... anyway!). I'm not fat at all, I'm pretty average for a lady-person, about size 12-14. Anywhoooo, my dad - who's a big guy - is trying to do the whole weight loss thing (his doc says he…

I can't even take this. It's too beautiful.

Mac and cheese!!! :-)

YAY! The first time I spent a holiday alone, it was so cool! I'm glad you're happy.

I absolutely HATE that kind of thing... Me and my boyfriend have been together for almost 4 years, and I swear people always want to give me advice about how to get him to propose to me! It's like, look, we're happy, and we know where we want to be and when.

I... Think I love you.

Happy Thanksgiving, y'all! I personally have a bit to be thankful for. A couple nights ago, I was robbed as I was walking home from the bus stop after work. Everything is fine, and I only lost my phone in the whole ordeal, but hey, people have been killed for a lot less.

That... Sounds divine.

I just... It was sooooo good!!! This season is craziness!!! And Rick... Just. Oh. My. GAWD.

So umm... How about that Walking Dead?!?!

Perfection.

That sounds sooooooo good. I really love making that kind of stuff. I'm thinking of getting a food dehydrator and making some jerky and a few weeks worth of fruit chips.
