Exactly. When I actually looked up the states for people of color getting nominated/winning acting Oscars, it is seriously depressing:

Any question over whether or not the producers and directors behind black films are pressured into writing in white saviors should have ended after the Selma/LBJ controversy. White critics were pissed that the movie didn't make LBJ into a white savior despite the movie being based on recent history.

The majority of Americans are okay with this. Black lives do not matter. Whether male or female, young or old. The majority (yes, that's mostly white people in the US) think the murder of this child is just collateral damage.

True story:

I want to call my mom and thank her for not being such a heinous bitch.

I don't blame the guy one bit for his standoff with the media. Sports reporters are fucking morons.

I don't know this situation, but I work with DV survivors and quite often women who are being terrorized in abusive relationships end up losing their kids - sometimes permanently - because they're not able to protect them from abuse. This woman might be a monster, but this could also easily be another case where the…

If you're trying to get people to match, sending out a color swatch seems pretty reasonable. Getting tired of all the pearl clutching in these reports.

I had bad PPD when I had my second son. I use to fantasize about pushing his stroller into the traffic and then running in front of a bus. Women like her made me feel worse about myself.

I'll tell you what nobody warned me about: All the goddamned laundry. We went from doing laundry maybe twice a week to doing it three or four times A DAY. (Granted, we had twins, but still.) Even having lived through it, I still do not understand how they generate so much laundry.

I just finished reading "What's the Matter with Kansas?", so hopefully you'll forgive the slight evangelical nature of this post. I just found it a profoundly analytically and enlightening book, and think everyone should rush out and buy it right now. Essentially the premise is:

THIS WAS ANSWERED IN A PERIOD POST ON JEZ- apparently a hormone or some science thing that causes the cramping in the uterus to shed the uterine lining also causes the body to poop!!!! cause that hormone is sort of like YO STUFF DOWN THERE, CRAMP UP AND STUFF so yer baby parts and yer butt parts both hop to it.

Just remember when these clowns start complaining about "Entitlements" (capitalist code for food stamps, welfare, and a higher minimum wage) they are the most entitled fuckers in the country, each making an average of 140,000k a year of tax payer money (of course not accounting for any kick backs or special nods they…

As a woman with an hourglass built with a massive ass but no belly, I feel you have this backwards. The thighs and ass are always snug but the tops fit like circus tents. One of the reasons I've quit wearing pants and now live in skirts and leggings is because it is impossible to find a pair of jeans that will fit…

I'll tell you all about it when it happens.

I gave the ring back to him and he gave it to the girl he was cheating with and married her SIX MONTHS LATER. I always wonder if she knows it was my ring or if he just pretended that he bought it new for her

My dad was once in a jewelry store picking up a bracelet. While there, a guy walked in, said his engagement had ended and asked if he could return the ring; the jeweler said no. As the guy turned to walk out., my dad stopped him and offered to buy the ring. They cam to an agreement on price and the deal was done.

I'll give this to you with as much pertinent information as possible because I work full time in the opera industry:

To be fair, when NFP is practiced correctly, it's effectiveness rate is quite good.

Why are Vera Bradly bags so popular? They are so, so, ugly. I remember seeing kids in my high school toting them around. They honestly look like the most old-lady purse to me, mostly because they look like re-purposed quilts.
