Finding connection and similiraties between discriminations and difficult situation is not "stripping away" something from someone else. It's giving *more power* to the described situation.

couldn't have said it better myself, @MissEli. Thank you!

No. Makeup is not "drag" it's just makeup. To associate BLACKS wearing makeup with DRAG is just plan stupid. I've never seen anyone accuse white women of being in "drag" when they wear makeup or don wigs or extensions. The point is that Jay See's posts, and I suppose yours, adds to the idea that black women aren't…

wow. this post is awful and exactly the kind of thing that perpetuates the ignorance surrounding black girls having to conform to white sensibilities. Wearing a weave is not "drag", putting on makeup is not "drag". As an african american woman that does frequent this site often and is fully aware that the general…

"Women who have no concept what it's like to actually be a fan of a team and take no pride in their team."

who cares about the leftover articles? racial bigotry can't be relegated to one tiny article and i'm happy sonia gets to shed light on the issues many people of color and underrepresenation have to put up with in the industry. it's not a one issue fits all situation. just cuz you're tired of hearing how much racism…

Hmm, the French equivalent of a Freddy's BBQ would be…

For some reason, I was disturbed by Parasite Eve as a 13 year old. I'm not even sure why. My older brother was playing the game and I happened to glance over at some of its opening sequences. I remember not being able to sleep without a lamp on for days. I dunno.

"Helt is a Salem, Oregon, native who attended West Salem High School and received his GED through Chemeketa Community College, his mother, Linda Helt, told Oregon Live.She said her son had been homeless a few times after relocating from Salem to Los Angeles "to make it on his own." Once, Linda recalled, Helt called…

Well, her publicists were the measured voice of reason in that regard, I somehow find her act a bit too "public spectacle" and rather than a sincere focus on issues like teenage homelessness. In the face of an awards show like the VMAs I almost find it a bit degrading. This is something she could more easily and more…

it'd be more interesting if we hadn't already been carrying out robotic surgery and electronic gene mapping and referencing wikipedia for the past couple of decades.

Agreed. I think it also helps to stock a fridge and pantry and spice rack with staples and start from there. Common veggies (spinach/kale, carrots, onion, and then throw in a seasonal one; this summer the IN-veggie was zucchini), common fruit (I choose 2 different types of fruit at each grocery visit), common meats (I…

Glad to learn that there's some decent fried chicken up here. I'm a Popeye's girl and I haven't seen any of them around King. So I'll have to try this Heaven Sent out one day soon.

truth. but accidentally brush your sterile gown against any blue surface in the operating room and you get an evil eye from the scrub tech, a bark from your attending surgeon, and have to change garments all over again.

I totally understand. And I really wish you the best of luck with your expenses. You'll start stacking that paper soon enough!

Seriously? I'd agree that he's mildly annoying.What he says here is absolutely ridiculous and only makes me happier that I've never credited him or his work the least bit of value. I can't really say that much in the way of celebs or the entertainment biz really fazes me to this extent. But he's very much entitled to…

it's his terms of employment i believe
