Girl, read the book by Rebecca Skloots. It will change your life.

Does anyone else get unreasonably annoyed by the use of the term “EVOO”? JUST SAY OR WRITE OLIVE OIL, JFC.

Yes, I believe so. They released all of her vocals for it a few years ago. The only song she really struggled with is Without You (my favorite!). It wasn’t the same level of quality but it was competent and she obviously worked hard on it.

Ya know, I used to love Dominique Dawes. Like, LOVE. So, to see that Simone is the clear favorite, after Gabby was the underdog at London and still managed to win gold, is absolutely astonishing to me. I love that little Black girls will be able to witness this. #BlackExcellence

I have this condition where I cry when people win things, even if I don't actually care about the people or the things. It makes the Olympics a very emotional time for me.

Stuff about how to get Dragon glass or any other possible weaknesses of the walkers is probably what Sam will find but who knows maybe all he’ll find is himself.

I’m not sure she should tell the daughter. I’m more inclined she should talk to her sister about it.

From what I’ve seen a few people used different sounding names and got accepted, where their black sounding name was refused. Like in the story above, someone used their white friend to book a place that had been previously unavailable to the black friend.

It doesn’t apply to white people loved by blacks because white people who are talented are *expected* to be loved by everyone. Because white is ‘default’. But a female sports star loved by men (in an actual appreciation of her talent not her tits way) or a black sports star loved by whites or an lgbt star loved by…

black people preferring the company of other black people is not racist.

Thank you for this article every single time a black legend has died this year I hear that transcended race statement and it makes me angry because you didn’t hear anybody say that about Bowie so why is constantly being said about Prince or Ali? Its an insult to a black person to hear that their hero transcended race…

I was going to post this but you beat me to it. Is knowing Jesse Williams should have been Finnick a niche form of wokeness in itself?

People are always amazed when I say that I don’t have a favorite color. I don’t. I love all colors. Including this poop green (which I’d actually describe as a dark Army green but w/e).

All colors are special.

I have books on my bookshelves. Alphabetized by author. I guess I’m just pedestrian that way.

I organize my books by genre, then general mood, then author. It would be terrible if I needed other people to be able to find my books, but its great for a home bookshelf. Like, if I want a lighter, fluffier piece of fiction, there’s a section. I organize my poetry by country of origin though

If you really run low, I’ve gotten some enjoyment out of Kevin from Work and Bomb Girls lately. Both short run shows. Also, if you haven’t already watched them, Don’t trust the B in Apt 23, and Call the Midwife!

Jessica Jones! Tough watch, but rewarding as heck.

Pretty Little Liars is my cheating husband. I want to leave, but I still love it.

Antennas are less than $50. Do it! Cut that cord! :)
