If she doesn’t need to do that, then perhaps Ateba doesn’t need to bring those up in his tattle-fest to Carlson.  

One of the first recipes that my grandmother taught me was how to make candied sweet potatoes. My family has never called them yams, but that’s the name that many Black cooks still call the orange, starchy tuber.

I love a shower-beer. I started with wine-with-the-bath but then my partner and I moved into an apartment with a bathtub that was insufficient for my luxuriating needs. So one day, while lamenting the lack of leg space, bath bomb, and wine, I took a Stella into the shower with me out of sheer desperation.

I’m glad they’re so wrong about what CRT is. I’m completing my dissertation and teaching at Emory in the upcoming school year.  That means that I can keep my syllabi for F2021 as they are.

I’m so sorry.

My chihuahua (who I just had to put to sleep yesterday) loved raw carrots. He could smell carrots. If we were eating them in a different room from where he was, he’d trot right in, hop on the lap of the carrot eater, make eye contact, and patiently (and intensely) wait to be given his due. My partner and I would give…

I moved to Atlanta from Brooklyn for grad school. It has been bad enough that I have started to miss Cuomo during all of this. The insult to this injury has been the cold, deadly, and malignant truth of having to live under Kemp’s “leadership”.

A week ago he refused this step because he had “to govern the whole state”…

I know, right? It scores lower than Crunch Berries. Crunch Berries!
I feel like this kind of ranking needs at least 5 testers.

I was a college freshman at NYU when Felicity premiered and I hate-watched it with glee.

I think that Hepburn trained as a ballet dancer prior to making movies.
I am not sure what these people trained as prior to making... this.

Exactly.

I tried to explain to people why, when we moved to Atlanta this August so that I could attend grad school, I packed my grease and brought it in the car with me, rather than trust it to the movers with our other things. None of these people I had to explain this to were black or brown. That grease is coming out…

I caught it on NetFlix. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2402085/

I LOVE this movie!

One of the best things about my neighborhood is that there are a lot of longtime neighbors on my block that have real affinity for asshole chihuahuas. So, despite himself, he has some real fans among the older ladies and gentlemen that have been living in BedStuy for a bit.

Our rescue-dog had never had a positive experience with other dogs when we got him. He is a chihuahua and was rescued from an animal hoarder house. He’d never ever been on a walk when we got him.

I use Clue and I’ve made up a pain register (as well as very specific heaviness of flow and clotting size registers) in the Tags section. I’ve found it super helpful to be able to go back and track exactly how heavy and for how long.

I saw Tracee Ellis Ross’ dress and immediately thought of this:

Agreed.

The end there, “something must have happened in between” made me laugh out loud.
