That’s like the people that hire an interior designer to give their house a “lived in/rustic” look. She looks great, and she is clearly going for that “no effort” look with the makeup and hair, but in reality is spending a significant amount of effort to cultivate just the right amount of “no effort” in her look. I

It’s true, but it’s also true that she said she stopped wearing makeup because of the unrealistic expectations for appearance that women face, so wearing makeup and pretending you aren’t wearing makeup is just as bad as photoshop and crazy contouring in terms of setting up unreasonable expectations for how women

My baby is named Juniper and we call her Juno. Almost everyone thinks it’s lovely and wonders why you don’t see it more often.

Being a Somali, there’s no such thing as “overhydration”. If there’s free water, I’ll drink it.

When I was a teenager I was attacked while opening up my work early in the morning. It was sunny and a busy street but the door was on a corner kind of away from the view.

Now that President Obama has moved on, it’s actually nice to see the new leader of the free world sitting in the Oval Office, and also Donald Trump.

Everyone I know who believes in detoxing is just dressing up their diet and/or eating disorder. The whole juice cleanse thing is ridiculous— basically tons of sugar.

Plus this is one thing he didn’t steal from black people.

Unlikely that “cool down music” would be so loud that a screaming woman could not be heard for several minutes. If it was; everyone in that room would be deaf by the time they emerged from it.

I am pretty sure in his heart W. was pro choice as well, and pretty liberal on pretty much every other issue outside of fiscal. That just wouldn’t work for him politically. I am not saying that makes him any better. I just don’t think he sat at the dinner table preaching against a woman’s right to choose.

I was so shook that I immediately went to the pews of the Greater Missionary Church of Black Twitter and let the words of the congregation wash over me.

I sort of still cannot believe Remy went there. As someone said earlier: “Remy shot her friend over an amount of money that was less than a quality weave installation..”

It says a whole lot about America that most Black peoples’ experiences in regular life were finally accurately displayed in the context of a horror film.

This movie is perfect. I saw it in a theater of mostly white people (I am white) and as I was leaving, a white woman behind me opined “I get the commentary, but what is he offering up as a solution?”

It was our lives up there.

Such an amazing film. I got to see it a week early and it’s been hard to keep all my thoughts to myself.

When will they acknowledge that their most dedicated supporters are the ones constantly threatening to boycott the party for life? It couldn’t possibly be more obvious than it is.

“If there was one minuscule shard of silver lining to take from Trump’s presidency, it was that perhaps this was the particular apocalypse the Democrats needed to reinvigorate its stultified base, one so underwhelmed by Hillary Clinton it largely couldn’t be bothered to vote.”

Looks at Tom Perez’s record of being a highly-intelligent, public policy-minded civil servant with a record of doing nothing but focusing on civil rights, voting rights, disability rights, unions, labor rights, etc. and then looks at people denouncing him as “the worst” and talking about taking their toys and going

Nina Turner, a Sanders surrogate, told the Post’s Dave Weigel that “the future of the Democratic Party will walk away” if Ellison loses.
