Since I was 5 I’ve identified as the Batman. It doesn’t matter that I’m a 30 something black male. People should respect my identity and address me as Batman.

I see myself as transcorporeal. This physical form is just an affectation of biological circumstance. I really identify as a ghost.

She won’t get any of my empathy. She is belittling black women. She thinks that all it takes to be a black woman is to tan your skin, wear shitty wigs, and take black dick. She is scum.

Yeah that might fly if she hadn’t sued Howard University for discrimination and claimed it was because she was white. This wasn’t when she was 5 years old, she was applying for a teaching assistant job at Howard. So her story changes to suit the questions being asked.

I’m guessing most people don’t realize how difficult (emotional, financially, etc.) the adoption process can be. A couple I’m friends with adopted three siblings from foster care about two years ago, and have worked hard to make sure the kids, who came from a tough background, have the emotional and educational…

I will forever love Angelina Jolie just for her repeat visits to Syrian refugee camps. They are low key. It’s never about her. The refugees that I’ve heard from appreciate it, and appreciate the attention that comes along with it. They need every bit of help possible, and will take it where they can, bc for the most…

My understanding is that this is what makes the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation great. They mostly invest in healthcare (immunizations, mosquito nets), women’s reproductive health (birth control) & women’s education.

See Rachel Dolezal, this is how you do it.

I have about 50 employees, two young managers that mind the day to day customer stuff and two part time assistant managers that back them up. Yes, retail employees can be a pain in the ass, especially the college students. Brown Bottle flu every Saturday morning, etc. But this wouldn’t fly with me.

See this makes me wonder, was she ever trying to pass? Or did she just hang around Black people for long enough that people just started assuming she was Black and she never bothered to correct them?

We need a Lifetime movie to sort this hot-ass mess out. I suggest casting Emma Stone, she’s the only actress who could…

tl;dr: Chinese don’t pay any attention to copyright and other IP constructs; the US is hampered by lawyers and patent trolls.

Anecdotally, I have met (and was married to one) African American men who were very critical of large sized women, and one of the reasons they were dating non-Black women was, as they themselves stated, that they disliked the sometimes larger size of some African American women. Internalized racism at its worst.…

You know, I really don’t have much of a problem with ole’ Hef.

Oh, my goodness, no! If ever we “crack up,” it’s because we’re charmed by the eccentric reading tastes of some patrons (e.g., a patron who regularly requests novelizations of a certain early 2000s-era teen drama series that aired on the WB). I don’t think I’ve ever witnessed any library staff person describe a…

It’s still such a huge power imbalance even if they’re all using each other. One man, lots of women. They’re using him for his money (which will accumulate over time), he’s using them for their youth (which will decrease over time.) But they’ll all bury him so that should cheer them up some.

I’m a librarian. We don’t care what you read—we’re just happy you’re reading. Promise :)

I know right? My jaw dropped at that.

WHOA. Holly never signed a NDA? I know this is not my best moment, but......
