First things first.

lol I work in digital advertising so for me it’s a little of both! Mostly my approach is to give people what they want but the problem is most people don’t know what they want! More conveniences online means losing a lot of the personal nuances of society and while I do enjoy the tailored sales pitch (Bc that’s all it…

I work in social advertising. I hate it when people think influencers get paid per like or anything because it makes no logical sense but people take that idea and run with it! How it works (at least on my end)

You realize that surrogacy laws are a thing and depending on the agency/terms of the agreement this could be what they are ALLOWED to pay? Or you just assuming that a couple that lavishly spends on every performative aspect of their lives are cheaping out on surrogacy because “dur Kardashians, dur Kanye?”

Racism!

I haven’t been able to get into this season. Maybe my cynicism is growing or my severe dislike for insufferable characters is growing but I just find Kimmy to be overwhelmingly annoying now. The rest of the show is perfectly fine (except Mimi, who is also very annoying) but every scene with Kimmy makes me roll my…

Re: comments about Dave Chappelle’s standup - I’m so tired of WW telling black men and other POC that they *have* to understand sexism is worse than racism. None of y’all have ever experienced racism to know that and as a Black woman I don’t need you to explain how it’s more difficult to be a woman than it is black.…

I’m a Black woman. Sexism isn’t as bad as racism.

As a PG County mom, I think you all are insane for 1) living in those expensive, traffic heavy areas. 2) Railing against PG County parents/school systems in general (maybe not you personally) while ignoring the horrors in your own county!

I’m of the belief that you don’t go to an event empty-handed (I’m west indian too so there’s that) so yes, you should give a wedding gift. That said, the more I have to spend to get to your wedding, the more basic your gift will be. (For a $700 trip, they would’ve gotten a $15 gift at best, with a happy ass card).

and literally the tone of this post versus the CB/Blackish post is exactly why I’m not mad @ Kenya for that episode. Black abusers are expected to be punished (as they should be) but white ones just get a bit of snark and more movie roles!

It’s fuck Chris Brown all day but the answer to this question is the same as it when any white abuser is cast on a TV show. “because they felt like it”. Granted, wrong is wrong, but again I’m tired of Black ppl and black entertainment having to always be “accountable” while white people get to be fuck ups and abusers…

HEY ANACOSTIA!

No, in the US once you’re sentenced, you are sentenced. She can get released early, or after serving the full 15 years but you can’t mandate that she be institutionalized because that’s not how our Constitution is set up. So yea, she got a relatively low sentence for a few reasons I’m guessing:

Currently in DC watching white people gentrify a protest founded by Black women, would be nice if Jez could at least shout them out during all of this coverage!

Welp, her loss makes the rest of the comments on this thread hilarious to me. She’s been mediocre since forever and while he’s a POS, her “I can beat up Floyd Mayweather” comment has always rubbed me the wrong way so at least now there is unequivocal proof that, no, she cannot beat Floyd on her best day.

*currently freezing to death in MD very jealous & resentful of Biebs for 1) having that coat 2) being somewhere it’s above 50 degrees 3) combining those two things in a holy matrimony of “Things Dickheads Do”.

Jan 22! (I’m honestly hoping he does as I did and pops up early, like before inauguration since I have to deliver at GW). And yes, everything I’ve gotten has been “I don’t remember” or my favorite, “well duh, you’re pregnant.” but it’s almost over *supposedly* and I get to work from home for 3 days a week until my due…

Worked better for me than anything they prescribed, mostly bc the only other side effect (for me) was hunger whereas all of the meds made me too drowsy (I work full time) or just straight up didn’t help. My personal circle of formerly women (not American, various ages) all used somewhat during their pregnancies,…

I’m 36 weeks and the pelvic pain + random nausea (STILL) have me pissed at every formerly pregnant woman I know for not telling me how awful it could actually be. I was prepared for some hormonal changes and nausea but I’m literally in PAIN most of the day. My only words of encouragement is that once you get to week…
