i legitimately and literally learned that megan markle is a person of color on jez/theroot.

We need to talk about consent with every young person. I realize now that no one talked about consent when I was growing up and it was years before I learned I was allowed to say no. My first sexual relationship was abusive and I don’t think I’ve ever developed a healthy relationship with sex, but I did slowly learn…

We also need to teach men to take no for an answer. To not pester. We need to teach them about consent! And teach them to respect women.

Solana is a new one on me. I thought it was a Toyota.

I was once a professional athlete, pretty much still have that body, and all my hair. I’m no model, but, well, actually, when I was in grad school at NYU, I was asked to do some modeling. This is just to say that it doesn’t appear that I’m hideously ugly or anything.

Kelly, I really admire your glass shelves.

Fucking up is a DUI. Fucking up is stealing a DVD at Target. Fucking up is pulling a “Do you know who I am?!” at a restaurant, or perhaps getting into a fight at a bar. Hate crimes are not “fucking up.” Hate crimes mean you’re a shitheel garbage human, and while atonement is possible, it is rare.

“I’m wearing this ring that Jack gave me and I’ll always wear it, because love is a really cool, powerful, eternal thing and it doesn’t have to be defined the way we in Western culture define it as beginnings and ends.”

A lot of effort was put into this.

Yeah, one of the dumber Trumpist bumper stickers I saw pre-election was “Don’t vote for career politicians”. This was on a plumber’s truck. Does it also apply to plumbers? Should I not hire career plumbers, but instead get some random person off the street to try to fix my leaking sink?

You graduated 10 years ago. Things. Are. Not. The. Same. Furthermore I’m tired of people acting like companies should get away with not paying people (esp entry level) a living wage. I have come across so many jobs it would actually cost more in transportation to get to, than the job actually pays. No one expects a…

The job market is very difficult for youngins right now, and it’s usually not just that they all want a big fancy job right out the gate. A person with that much debt can’t afford to pay it and rent every month on the salaries that are being offered for many of the entry-level jobs being offered. So sure, she could…

To the post-grad living at home: Maybe I misunderstood, but it seems like your parents are playing you and Morgan off each other (you reading texts on Mom’s phone - I assume with her permission?). Or, at the least, your parents should be firmly and resolutely stopping your sister from hurling about all of these false…

A live look at Martha Stewart in Florida

Omg my husband did this with my super-pricey-but-makes-my-hair-look-amazing shampoo. I noticed the bottle was getting really light and then CAUGHT HIM IN THE ACT using a generous palmful of it to wash his short hair (I have waist-length hair and use a dime-sized dollop). I nearly had a heart attack.

I gave my fiance a subscription to Birchbox Men and that felt like giving him a gateway drug. Before, he used Irish Spring soap, whatever face wash was on sale at Target, and lotion was only used if his skin was so dry it was at risk of cracking. Now he has these fancy potions and tinctures in gun metal and black…

Be careful what you wish for. I had a really small container of an eye moisturizer that was nice and I used sparingly because you only need a little for your eyes. One day I go to use it and it’s pretty much completely gone. Ask my husband and he had used the whole thing on his face and hands and wanted to know if I…

Hints are communication, it's just a social norm that some people are oblivious to. Seems odd, though, that instead of taking advice and learning to pick up on obvious body language, you'd rather insult anyone using it as being inhuman.

So youre saying the terrible behavior of men is completely excused, its all on her to cease our advances rather than the man stop being a goddamn creep?
