as a man (everyone shhh! A mans talking) I can't tell u how frustrating it is walking down the street & seeing a beautiful woman at the other side not looking at me & walking in the opposite direction & knowing she is conspiring with my boner to ruin my life somehow

Dear Bros,

"We had a passive-aggressive stance," says Daniel Phillips, another speaker, who says he's "had" two abortions. "I was neither here nor there, so I never even fought for the opportunity to save the child."

This kid has double eyebrows?

does it bother you that your logic here is essentially the same as: "because some black people are drug dealers, all black people are drug dealers"?

I once heard/read Natasliah proposed as a counter-name. ;)

Your essay makes me uncomfortable. I honestly don't know how to help or be an ally. I work with kids in the family court system, either through abuse/neglect or juvenile delinquency/incorrigability. I want to fight for these kids, the majority of whom are POC. How do we do that without becoming a "good white person"?…

The guy I lost my virginity to is now a plastic surgeon at an Ivy League med school.

I lost my virginity to a German man during my year abroad. There was a rainstorm, I stumbled through in German to explain my thoughts, it was actually quite lovely. No regrets whatsoever.

But I feel that if your of a certain age and had the flu shot growing up, you probably don't need it anymore. Look, if your going to get sick your going to get sick regardless of whether or not you've taken the plunge to get the shot.

Cats, too. One of my kitties was named Chloe by her previous owners, and so that was the name on all of her records the first time I took her to get checked out after taking her in (poor thing was abandoned to be a barn cat with her former owner's mother, who didn't bother to maintain her long fur coat at all, didn't…

Well, I used to name my dogs old people names, like Zelda, but then all y'all started naming your kids old people's names, like Jake and Molly, so....

My name is Maggie and I have been resigned to my fate for years. I know far more labradors with my name than people.

Does anyone else remember when Tracy Morgan was on SNL he did a segment called "Tracy Morgan's Black History"? I remember an episode where he called out The Cosby Show for their colorist casting (something I never noticed until he pointed it out, but yeah, most of the Huxtable kids have light skin). When I saw that…

I went on two dates with David Schwimmer around the turn of the millennium. He was so dull. I ended up dating his actor-friend (who like is so weird looking he's always cast in the creepy roles) instead because PERSONALITY! (and also because he was nearby and I'm lazy)

This! Your story is almost exactly like my mother's but instead of law school she became a medical assistant and then a radiology tech. Not the most high paying jobs in the world but it got us off welfare and into our own home. Without that little bit of assistance I don't know what we would've done. I don't think…

I think the right thing to say in any traumatic situation is always, "Let me know if there's anything I can do for you." It avoids assuming that you know what someone needs or wants to hear, guessing at their feelings, etc. etc. It lets the person suffering stay in control of their experience while you stand on the…

I tried writing "no such person at this address" and/or "return to sender" with so-so results.
