IAWTC so hard. I would love to purchase more of Modcloth’s clothing but it all looks like polyester and rayon monstrosities. I get that garment quality has fallen across the board at many retailers but it’s especially hard to shop online for places that have no retail stores that allow you to see what items look like…

Wait, I think the actor played a rapist on Felicity. Brian Krakow was creepy and possessive but he was no rapist!

I thought it was called an “alternative lifestyle haircut”!

48 women that we know of. There may be countless others who haven’t wanted to come forward.

To all the individuals who respond to requests to see darker women on magazine covers with “Oh, are these girls NOT BLACK ENOUGH FOR YOU”: shut the fuck up. Colorism is real and it’s not helpful when people derail from conversations about colorism with accusations that requesting to see all shades represented somehow…

If black is black, why aren’t dark skin hues as represented as medium-tone and lighter ones? Clearly, black is not the “right” type of black when it comes to representation in mainstream media outlets.

Yeah. I would love to see female models and actors who failed the paper bag test. There are dark Asians and Latinos too and we just never see them represented in mainstream publications.

IDK, this is inspiring Kara. She has inspired me to donate directly to Emanuel African Methodist. With all the work the poor thing needs to do to replan her wedding, I wouldn’t want her to take on the burden of remembering to donate that 10% so I going to take that duty off her hands and donate directly. I encourage…

I hate to be that commenter but I’m not a fan of the sexualized violence against the woman. She’s not even the villain. I understand what it is to be a fan of something “problematic” but I can’t turn off my tut tutting against gratuitous violence against a woman just because other women are the perpetrators.

IDK, I don’t think it’s an either/or. Why not both? Why not have a bunch of people who have been obsessed with computers since before they were born and why not invest in workers who didn’t have the chance to be obsessed with computers because they didn’t have that luxury? Companies have become really stuck on getting…

I know what you’re talking about in terms of PhD programs and I’d still argue that the ability to secure a student visa in the hopes of securing permanent residency and/or citizenship is a big draw for the glut of international students at top research universities. Additionally, the average U.S. high school…

You’re making a false equivalency with your comparison. If you’re not American-born Asian and are trying to get citizenship, doing so through higher education and/or a work visa is a viable option. Companies love to sponsor visas if they can get an employee more cheaply than they otherwise would and schools loves…

Honestly, this is shifting the goal post. They are a company with a dedicated diversity recruitment team and they have loads of money. They could literally go looking for and train smart people of color who showed aptitude for the work that needs to be done. I said this in another comment on this post but their lack…

Sigh. Cue all the comments that will defend this as them hiring the “most qualified” people for the job. Study after study shows diverse groups perform much better at problem solving than ones that aren’t as diverse. The more people you have from different backgrounds and different life experiences, the better they’re…

I got this book when I was 9 or 10 and it was amazing. It gives great advice, covers a wide range of topics, and made me feel normal about some odd things that started to happen a couple of years later.

Shopping for Mother’s Day cards is hell when your mother was and is the exact opposite of all the wonderful things those cards talk about.

OMG, we must be long lost sisters. I get my mom a card and she complains I put no thought into it. I get her flowers and she cries about how she’s undeserving because she was a bad mother. Like, what the hell?

If only you could make donkey sounds to call out your colleagues acting like jackasses!

She's toned it down recently but she has a history of being ridiculously inappropriate on the red carpet when talking to actresses and grilling them about their diets...

This advice is too real. Once you get a new job, the first thing you should do is update your resume with your new job and update it periodically, especially if your duties change or you do something particularly awesome. It's really hard to update your resume when you're stressed out because your job has gotten…
