Lol right? “Reproductive rights only affect rich people.” OOOOOKAYYYYY then!!!! This election is seriously bringing out the craziness in everyone.

I have this week off work and I went to Ikea yesterday around 11 am by myself, and it was glorious. Barely any people, I could take my time, stroll around...phenomenal outing for me.

My boyfriend assembled some Ikea Billy Bookshelves for me a few weeks ago. I was all ready to help and be proactive and somewhat competent but he put them together in like 10 minutes...while I was still trying to read the instructions. At least I was able to screw the floor lamp together.

This is exactly what I’m contemplating. I like what he says about how we see racism as a binary concept - we classify someone/ourselves as either “racist” or “not racist.” It is so, so much more complex than that.

I had this discussion with my boyfriend the other day. I am white. He is Hispanic. An acquaintance of ours recently called me a racist (I’m not sure why...we were roommates and it went very downhill in the last few months, culminating in her moving out...story for another time) and I was reflecting on the accusation…

Haha! This is almost exactly how I’ve been describing Obama’s relationship with the Senate lately. He just seems SO done with their shenanigans.

This debate always goes down over appropriation. I agree, if your hair is tight and curly then it makes practical sense to wear tight braids. I have really small curls and if I don’t brush my hair for a day, it starts to dread on its own. I refuse to act guilty for appropriation when my hair will dread on its OWN…

This has been one of the most difficult years I’ve had. Stressful stuff at work, bad living situation, death in the family, loss of friends/friend group, etc. I’m a young adult (early 20s) so everything that happens feels like a learning experience yet it all sucks. Today my boyfriend and I got into a fight over…

Yep! Its all personality. Sometimes I think about how easy it would be for me to just not have sex at all. I happen to have a boyfriend but if it weren’t for him I’d probably be celibate...I’m not a hook up person and I like to stay in my house these days. Pretty easy!

I take the pill now so my periods are not a problem, but in high school I had terrible, debilitating cramps. I get migraines (not related) and I honestly would say that the period cramps are more painful. One time I was at a friend’s house and my period cramp was so bad that I fainted. I had never fainted before in my…

Ugh yes. Its like when one article is posted about a murder or something and then everyone starts crying about “what is HAPPENING to the world?!”

This really blows my mind. A solid number of comments on this piece are mentioning college roommates having sex in the SAME ROOM. That is crazy! I have my own room but share a wall with my roommate and I’m constantly trying to keep it as quiet as possible.

Love these threads, “terrible roommate stories” is a synonym for “roommate stories.”

On a less lighter note, I'm currently dealing with the loss of my step-grandmother. She passed unexpectedly last weekend. We weren't super, super close but she was an integral part of the family and I'm still dealing with feelings of shock and sadness. The world seems to stop when a family member or loved one dies, a…

My grandmother died a few days ago, and it was very unexpected. It really puts things in perspective. All I want to do this weekend is make brownies, read a little, and stay in bed. All my energy for doing any sort of Valentine’s activity is totally zapped. Sorry to be a downer, just wanted to chime in! Hope there’s a…

Agreed. I think she’s taking advantage of the BLM movement and issues surrounding black identity and the police. The second half of the song lost me with the repetitive “I slay.”

I disagree. Its true that a lot of young heterosexual women DO think of boys and getting dates because society continuously tells us that is of utmost importance.

I’m not sure if this was a sarcastic comment or not, but I’ll bite. It may seem simple to vote online or on our phones but there are reasons as to why we don’t do this, one of them being the heightened risk of fraud. Officials still are not 100% confident they’d be able to protect against hackers with online voting,…

I hope this comes to Miami! I haven’t moved but my lifestyle has changed a lot from what my friends like to do and I’m desperate to meet some other young professional women who share my interests. After college, its really hard to meet new people! Working full time and having little socialization is not good for…

My favorite is when people say that but about someone actually famous/relevant/significant and then they come across looking like an idiot.
