Yup. I was terrified of my biological father. Still would be if he wasn’t dead. My brother and I would scream until he’d back off and leave. When I was about to graduate high school, he insinuated that my mom put us up to it. I lost it and let him have it. Nope, I was not about to spend time with someone who pointed a

Do you have contact with a lot of children? I’ve been teaching for a long time and have dealt with multitudes of children with divorced parents. It’s not unheard of for children to be manipulated by a parent, however I find it far more common for children to have a legitimate reason when they don’t want to see a

I had a friend who had a child with her then boyfriend. They broke up when the little guy was still a baby, and they had to deal with co-parenting this child from infancy. There were times, when her son was a toddler and little kid, where he just wanted to be with mommy. He wanted his mom and would cry when she

That picture is creepy AF. If you look halfway down the woman’s arm, then behind her, I see what appears to be a man’s hand ready to go up the back of a woman’s dress!

I feel in general we don’t listen enough to children when it comes to custody arrangements. If someone was hitting me, even “lightly”, I wouldn’t want to be anywhere near them.

Damn you, Yoko.

Welllllllll.....

Insert joke about how reality TV is the downfall of modern society.

Yeah, because you get to be a racial majority living half a world way from the people who demand your assimilation into their culture and then co-opt yours as a display of their dominance. Must be nice. Nice enough, I’d imagine, to leave you the emotional bandwidth for some empathy and solidarity.

To me it’s another example of a white woman taking something from a woman of color and getting accolades for it, when women of color are under represented and people who look like Karlie Kloss are represented in spades

The repeated erasure of actual POC from depictions of their culture is racist. And I don’t understand parsing words in that way. A system of racial oppression can absolutely be referred to as racism. The same way a system of oppressing an entire gender is sexism.

Well you just acknowledged that the experience of Japanese-Americans is different from that of a non-Japanese person living in Japan and wearing/doing those things in the context of assimilation or acceptance. And since this happened in American Vogue, mostly available to Americans (though I get issues are made

They thought they could distract you with that huge spectrum of skin tones from dark pink to very light brown.

I want Erika’s glamsquad to give me a make-over.

I want to be Erika Jayne when I grow up.

LVP was practically salivating over Rinna getting caught in a lie. I half expected her to start doing a jig. I thought both Lisas looked bad this episode.

Oh sweet Jesus. This show was bonkers last night.

Rinna genuinely seems just so excited to have any sort of relevance. She’s always excited to get invited to trips and parties and loves inserting herself into anything, so she will cause drama and have a big story line on the show. I kinda don’t mind because she’s pretty open about being willing to do anything for a
