You don’t think the entertainment industry at large is hostile to black women? I mean, ok? And no one is saying she’s a martyr. Who said that? And why do you think Beyoncé (or any black female entertainer) might “ consciously conforms to every played-out, White Patriarchal ideal there is” if not because the…

it’s Channing Tatum and Matt Bomer and Alex Rodriguez and we’re sitting there teaching them how to vogue and everything.

But... for every article saying Beyoncé is a feminist, there are two or three that are just utterly appalled at the very suggestion. It’s not like there isn’t pushback. There are a LOT of people who don’t think Beyoncé is (a) feminist. And they all make their thoughts known. Loudly and often. If the problem is that…

Maybe he’s like the guy from Momento?

This is the most bizarre and out of touch news story this entire cycle. Yes, political interns work for experience not salaries. Yes, it’s why the interns are often political legacies. But NOOOOOOOOO, nope, Nooonah, nah, to Clinton paying them being any change to the process. It means she now has to account for this…

The worst was how my dorky brain was trying to make it work. Like maybe the cool kids love the Marriot these days? Is the Marriot slang for something?

Yup, as a woman of color I don’t think that sexualized violence against any woman is cool, and I’m pretty sure the “party” scenes were not exactly consensual.

Seriously. The fucking hand-wringing over BBHMM is absurd. It’s not like any of the imagery in and of itself is THAT different from stuff that’s been done before. Gaga/Beyonce in “Telephone” anyone? Oh but RIGHT, because it’s a woman of color perpetrating it against white people everyone starts clutching their pearls.…

She wasn’t the only white feminist to get called out for blatant hypocrisy re: BBHMM. There was another who wrote a piece condemning the video that was then juxtaposed against an earlier piece defending Game of Thrones. If I can find the screenshots, I’ll post them here too.

it’s a music video, not a PSA

YEESS! One tablespoon of minced cilantro in a recipe? Um, noooo? If you like it, then 1 T is waaay too little. My mom is one of those single clove of garlic people. And she buys her garlic in those little mesh three packs, because they’re “cheaper,” and then I go home to visit once a year and throw away two and a half…

So I watched the video before reading the article, and the whole time I thought they were saying “and turn this bitch into a Marriot.” God, I'm so lame.

Riri taught you well.

Hmm, let’s be real on which feminists had the the biggest problem.

Recipes are where you get ideas of how to combine ingredients; they are not step-by-step directions to prepare most dishes (some baking, sure). I refuse to believe there are people in this world who see “1 tsp. cumin” and literally pull out a measuring spoon and add exactly that much cumin to a recipe. But then there…

This is what I don’t understand about “recipe” people: if you’re going to buy an ingredient you don’t usually use, in such quantities that it will have a bunch leftover, why not either learn how to use it, or how to modify recipes? Totally off topic, I know, but I read a recipe for a morroccan-style dish and one…

I highly recommend knowing how to budget for food, shot for groceries, and cook meals for yourself, no matter what. I love takeout, too, but cooking at home is almost always healthier, cheaper, and less wasteful, and it’s a basic life skill (like being able to change a tire or do your own laundry) that’s just useful…

Wow, it’s always really easy to recognize an idiot. Persona is the ultimate example in matching style AND substance, the best style in the gaming world today WITH the absolute best gameplay and story. The style is absolutely BRILLIANT, only someone with a really stupid brain and incredibly poor taste could describe it…
