Reading list 😀:http://jezebel.com/here-you-go-ha…

White girl from a white family here. But my mom’s side has some SERIOUS super tight curly genes. To the point that she rocked a totally natural and quite fashionable afro in the 70s. And oh man...so many strangers always touching her hair. She, of course, hated her hair because she just keeps it short and “can’t do…

I’m not black, but I do have super curly hair. People do some of the most fucked up shit... I have people who have to ‘pet’ my hair all of the time. I don’t know what the fuck it is. Some people are just rude.

My Mom has curly, frizzy, long hair, and one time she heard someone sniffing of it and thought that it was one…

That's appalling. Personal space is the most valuable marker of autonomy in an adult. I'd flip out. I'm sorry.

And that’s exactly why my professor said we’re only reading non-white sci-fi authors (or women authors) because everybody doesn’t get the recognition that they deserve.

All the time. Ask any black person. I talked about this in my class yesterday and everybody was in disbelief except some of the moms (and the other black woman in my class), including my professor. They said that when they were pregnant people used to come and just touch their stomachs all the time so they could…

Not true. Agree it’s a stupid concept for a tv show but I am now the proud owner of hair I can wash and wear and it looks amazing, like I spent an hour doing my hair to make it look perfectly imperfect. The secret: I finally, finally, have a stylist with taste and who listens to his customers, who gave me a haircut…

In all fairness all of the styles were awful and left the models looking worse after than before.

Three hours of Trump-free programming a night. Interrupted only by commercials for Calgon, Früsen Glädje, Orville Reddenbacker popcorn, Quaker Oats (featuring Wilford Brimley), Pepperidge Farms, and Bartles & Jaymes wine coolers.

We all did, weebles, we all did. They promised to make us great again and now I am questioning their ability to do even that.

Shocked!

I don’t know how much more Trump I can take.

God help me if you aren’t right. In “qualified* to be President,” the order goes:

When decades of “government is the problem” rhetoric, combined with virulent anti-intellectualism, combined with worship of business enterprise above social good, combined with continual stoking of racist, sexist, xenophobic fear and hatred all finally coalesce into the puffed-up tangerine spectre of Donald Trump—the…

I am also a long-time swim instructor and I disagree. Saying that these classes will lead to negligence is like saying the HPV vaccine will lead teenagers to have sex. The classes are a safeguard is something happens but does not cause that thing to happen. I think parents who care enough to try to give their babies a…

Oh man. I know this is fine, but I have a panic attack every time I see this and I don’t even have kids.
