Mmm, I don’t know bout this. When I was growing up (Mississippi) I only heard black people use that term “soul” sparingly-“southern” was black- or at least blackness was the only thing in the South that actually mattered/was relevant. And white folks food was just.. them white folks food....I also carry a casual

The section on juice is one the the blackest things I have read all year and on point. Yams make the best juice and when mixed with dressing(not fucking stuffing) is heaven in your mouf.

Wow. I was nodding along, cackling at the meme, and all ready to cosign this piece until... you went off the rails with the leg slander. I love me some thighs (bone in, skin on, thanks!) But, GET YOUR LIFE! All dark meat chicken is good meat!

I read this in a dental chair getting new repair work on the teeth that were knocked out by a man over 30 years ago. How badly were you affected is truth.

You’d think his pending sentencing for the child rape case would affect his music, but I guess that’s just me being naive.

I used to get panic attacks on the regular, haven’t had one in over 10 years thank GOD!!!! Go to a therapist to learn some self care and coping skills. It will be extremely helpful to prevent them

Hey Lady. How are you? It’s been a moment since you’ve blessed us.

Damn, Champ!

As a person with generalized anxiety disorder, this was like re-living my first panic attack all over again. I got the first one at 31 and I’m still on anti-anxiety meds to this day because of them. A few suggestions:

A part of me wonders if there is some other reason he was soooo salty. I mean that joke truly was throwaway and there has to be worse that was said about that whole situation. The response did not go with the actions. He was on some other level!

I didn’t even think of that. I noticed him getting down and I thought of it as a way to show comfort for them, as they clearly bonded on a real level. I didn’t even think of the angle of making himself smaller angle.

When Shauna wouldn’t hold Deja at first, I thought that maybe GiGi might try to talk her into giving her up for adoption. I wonder if that was a “You made your bed, now you have to lie in it” mentality.

The look on Shauna’s face when Deja asked if she could sleep in her old room...she looked so stunned and it showed in her response. I think that’s when she understood that Deja was where she needed to be.

“The way the writers realize that many decisions come from the gray areas of life are remarkable.”

What was also telling was that she didn’t offer the false premise of a return. No, “give me a few days...months...years.”

I loved how the whole episode was shades of gray, you know? Shauna wasn’t a bad person; she was young, never really got it together, likely didn’t have an example in her own mother (from the hospital scene, I got the impression that her grandmother - Pam Grier! - had raised her), and made some questionable choices. (I

The way the writers realize that many decisions come from the gray areas of life are remarkable.

This was a heavy episode and I definitely released my thug tears. I kept saying to myself, “Poor Deja. Poor Shauna.” The writers did a great job of showing the layers. A series of choices lead to so many problems later. I can’t imagine what a mom would feel like in that situation.

There should be a special state law that says if you make a delivery guy deliver without tipping him in the middle of a storm, he should legally be able to throw you down the stairs. The higher up you live, the more steps he gets to use.
