Knowing how to live alone and be alone at 26 is an amazing talent. Just because it's not always a happy place to be doesn't mean that it's not an important thing to do. And being able to be a strong, independent person who is unwilling to compromise for bullshit because they know they're okay alone means that when…

I made everything bagels from scratch y'all!! They're delicious.

My kitty was just diagnosed with arthritis in his lower spine. I'm so sad! I knew he was getting older (he's 12) but I always think of him as a young whipper snapper. The thought of my stoner cat getting old is very depressing. :( Hoping the new diet will drop some weight so he'll be more comfortable (he's a LITTLE…

Caramelize them and put them on everything! So delicious and they cook down to a smaller amount to consume.

Yo, somebody say my name?!?? My middle name. Yeah, "Exercise," that's it.

Oh, and here's a baby riding around on its momma.

Re: The Cat. Back in the 1980s, all my teenage self and my teenage sister did, was take pictures of our cat. Our cat looked just like that black and white kitty up there! She was hilarious and adorable, climbing in the dishwasher and walking on a keyboard and all the LOLs. Anyway, my parents would "pick up" a…

Someone asked me to post an update a few weeks ago, so...

Anyone got any experience trying to help a loved one that suffers from chronic pain? My boyfriend has struggled with it for about two years and he is in a bad way at the moment, and it's so awful seeing him so depressed and in pain all the time. He is generally amazing with not letting it affect our relationship, and…

It's like you have ESPN or something!

I agree about uniforms. I was super against them when I was young, and I couldn't imagine why anyone would want them. I was all like BUT FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION. Thinking about it now, I think I might have preferred it in a public school setting. I would still be absolutely against requiring skirts for girls, though,…

But of course! I genuinely like January Jones, as an actress and from what little I've seen of her real-life persona (basically, that one time on the Daily Show and now this dumbass NYT profile) and I think she's a badass. I just hate that she's automatically labeled "ice queen" and "bitch" for acting like a normal…

All hail Beaky, First Emperor of the Squawk Dynasty.

For their part, the parents are like, "Um, I pay like threeve fafillion megabucks (PLUS 'charitable donations') for you to sit around while my dumb kid plays Oregon Trail

Your repeated need to pigeonhole, insult, & suppress another black woman for her moderate use of urban vernacular speaks to an internalized racism which, quite frankly, I want no part of. I have no desire to restrict my expression to ten dollar words just to make you more comfortable being you. I am quite comfortable…

Oh, get off it. I am an articulate, highly educated black woman, possessed of a vocabulary that impresses even my more erudite friends, & this is my go-to phrase anytime I see white folks be acting crazy. Indeed, when I utter it to one my similarly educated black friends, their response is more than likely to be, "Sho…

Seriously. It is my goal to always be as happy as this dog looks.

To all who went against their better judgement and watched the video...
