I’m not one of the Chrissy superfans, but I think it’s super brave and loving of her to post openly about this when it’s still such a stigmatized subject. October is pregnancy & infant loss awareness month, and many of the replies to Chrissy on Twitter do a great job of illustrating why we need to be having these…

Why the fuck would you try to work on machinery while the electricity is still on?

Did y’all see the email that Officer Mattingly sent to all the other Louisville cops a few days ago? Where he says they acted morally, ethically and he basically shows no compassion for her family and instead talks about how hard it is to be a cop? Super fucking cool. They're in order from bottom to top; no matter how…

***One*** officer. Not murder, not even manslaughter. As the saying goes, a grand jury will indict a ham sandwich if you want them to — which means that the prosecutors here weren’t any more interested in justice than the men who murdered Breonna Taylor. Fucking pigs, every last one of them, whether they wear uniforms…

Saying Hi and knowing your employees friggin names is NOT the same thing as “being besties”. The president of my company sure doesn’t have time to chit chat with everybody or “be friends” but he knows HUNDREDs upon HUNDREDs of staff and partner names and says hello by name to every one of us. We’re also forgetting…

My partner and I are quarreling right now, so that guy getting it in the nuts was honestly kind of awesome for me. Also, I’m going to make a huge generalization here and say that he deserved it, based on the fact that the first thing he did was blame someone else for giving it to him upside down.

Great points! I think in most cases, a lack of diversity is because those in hiring positions simply don’t think about it. They hire people they’ve worked with before, people recommended by colleagues and friends, and you know that sneaky nepotism that pops up every now and again. That leads to exclusion. They look…

I can’t decide if we’re outraged right now or not. I don’t think so. Yes, it’s a checklist, but as you say, it’s a start. Would I like to be included in a film because I’m a woman of color? Yeah, probably, but I would imagine I’d have this underlying notion that I only got hired because if my lady parts and the hue of…

“ It really shouldn’t be hard for Hollywood productions to simply hire a broad range of people, and yet, it is.”

Smug bitchiness, huh?

Absolutely young white women do this, too. But Boomers bring that added element of thinking they should be deciding the future of every organization, despite there being two generations of fully grown women who will be living with their decisions for decades to come. 

Shelter Cat Update!

For some insights into George and Martha Washington as slave owners, I highly recommend the book “Never Caught” by Erica Armstrong Dunbar. Dunbar documents the decades-long, unrelenting fight the Washington’s waged for the return of Ona Judge who ran away from their Philadelphia home. 

And the 2020 Navel Gazing Award goes to....Columbia Journalism Review!!! But itsnotaboutthepasta’s team is hot on their heels...

Did...did you just whitesplain grammar to the Editor-in-Chief of this very publication?

They kept her paid in a position of power for YEARS. ABC News is 100% complicit.

Proving yet again, there are a lot of sociopaths in upper management. Many of them Karen-Beckys.

I can’t with y’all. I just can’t with this performative bullshit. Yeah, some times the titles are so bad it’s not worth reading the article.

Yeah what a jerk to give up one’s own position of power to a Black person! And how dare he publicise it. People should just FEEL his actions. (sacrasm) He and his wife Serena Williams certainly didn’t discuss and decide on this together for the sake of their daughter. He obviously just wants attention. (sarcasm)

Y’all…

Floyd tested positive for COVID 19... and Officer Chauvin was in VERY close proximity for over eight minutes.
