Is it wrong I want him to marry a black or latina American woman (preferrably from the South) just to see what would happen?

OMG the Enchantress was TURRIBLE. Did Ayer say, “No! Speak through your hips! Think Shakira! On Meth! Hula Hooping!”

How about Eric Roberts?

My people! I’ve found you!

Honestly, reading that I feel like a Terrible Mother because my 4 year old spent the weekend at grandma’s and I LOVED EVERY SECOND. I called *once*. I’m kind of jealous that people have camp like this!

This is ...so scary. That could have been my husband. Me. Our daughter. I spoke with my husband this morning and told him to be careful, realizing that this could happen to him. To us. because we are black.

Bring back Carnivale!

Is that heffa wearing loafers on the beach?

All y’all need to be watching Happy Valley. (And rewatching Luther)

YES. the Academic Cardigan.

Library worker here. My daily uniform is trousers (black, navy, or grey) with a top (not t-shirt, silk, rayon or similar), with a cardigan. And flats.

Just finished Season 2 of Happy Valley on Netflix. I loveloveloved that show. Older female cop who is both badass and incredibly human? Yes. And I really enjoyed The Night Manager (I may or may not have watched the whole thing 1.5 times...)
