I get that rats are intelligent and resilient, but after having them in my apartment and then living in my walls for like five months, terrorizing me with their late night scratching and screeching, all while my landlord thought I was being dramatic until they ate GIANT HOLES in the wall of my downstairs neighbor, I

Half dozen of A, 6 of B? I can't get past the cat ears though. WHY? WHY ARE YOU WEARING CAT EARS, TINY ADULT BABY?

My cat loves all food. He's also a horrible mooch and just generally a butt who refuses to learn good manners. He will climb ALL OVER YOU if you have food, just trying to get at that food. And then he tries to grab the plate. Or will smack your fork as you bring it to your mouth. And if you try to spray him with water

Her epic, "Bitch please," side-eye at 5:12 says it all.

I find it really heartening reading your comments. If more people cared as much about these issues as you do, the world would be a much better place.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the existence of Kerry Washington in mainstream Hollywood. She completely understands what being ally (and being an "other") ACTUALLY means. She is looking and speaking right into that audience of predominantly white (probably wealthy) gay men and saying, "I support you... AND the

Neither of those links say anything that refutes my point. I didn't say that black voters caused Prop 8 to pass. I said that of the black people who voted, the majority wanted to ban gay marriage. That is an irrefutable fact.

We're not more homophobic than anyone else (I don't think) but it can't be denied that a lot of black people are homophobic. I don't think she was giving lip service to the 'more homophobic' thing but rather reminding blacks that we were denied similar rights not so long ago and now we're denying other minorities the

Wow, not parroting. I like accuracy and intersectionality is an accurate term to use considering my emphasis on reading people of color this year.

As I understand it "intersectionality" is a foundational concept of black feminism and can be understood by anybody. Understanding the realities of intersectionality is key for people like me to work towards a more inclusive society. I do (did) not claim to inherently understand that which can only be experienced by

The look she gives at 5:10 is everything I need for days.

That left me with almost no words and all of the feels. God, that was fantastically delivered. I enjoyed her before, but I love her now. Everyone should hear this.

Powerful words to remain vulnerable to and introspective about. I continue to get empty stares from others when I mention that I am reading, watching and seeking the insight of "black feminism" which her comments so accurately highlight. As a white man I have inherent privilege that I will never fully be able to

Okay. It's long!

The "caught" part: He had asked me to grab his phone and take it to him at work, since he'd forgotten it. It was on my way to my job so of course I did it. I grabbed it and at some point needed the time or something so I clicked it open (pre-password days) and saw a winky-face text from number with a

They are all that's keeping me from assuming my ultimate form and blasting this shitrock into the sun.

Queenie looks so MISCHIEVOUS. And WHIMSICAL.

I like Kelly Clarkson—I do—but Tracy Chapman is the absolute best and there's no way anyone could compare to her. Ever.

You sound ignorant. People aren't criticizing her because she used a past tense on one word. She said that gay people and people of color need to fight for women like they have been fighting for us. Women and gay people/people of color are not mutually exclusive, so to say that other people need to fight for women is
