Exactly. You know how much an IUD costs in Canada? Well neither do I because we simply go to the doctor, ask for what we want, and get it for free. This situation with American women jumping through hoops is fuckin’ ridiculous; birth control should be widely and freely available in a wide variety of forms, it just…

So riddle me this, why could I buy a gun before the weekend but my insurance asked me to wait 6 months for an IUD? Theyve kindly told me that’s the physician preference. Which is how they like to practice, but that is not okay when it’s my only option.

I’m 24 and fully insured. When I was 23, I tried to get an IUD from my now-fired gyno a few months back. At first, she tried to counsel me otherwise, at least partially because I had just gotten married and it would “annoy her” when I “inevitably came back in eight months” to have it removed. I said, ya know, I had…

I’m just really happy I’m black guys. Never had lice.

Look at this picture. I mean, come on. What a beautiful family.

Y’all are both gorgeous, before and after. I usually like a ton of makeup (and man, Carla you are pulling that off, stunning! Those cheeks! Those eyes!) but Laurel’s makeover makes me want to try a more subtle hand. So pretty.

Jesus Christ thank you. I saw the headline and scoffed at the sheer disrespect by this Jezebel poster. You know it’d be one thing if he was just some guy who wrote for a news site like gawker. It’s quite another when it’s a man who has dedicated his career to Latino audiences for over 2 decades and is highly respected…

I think it’s downright inappropriate. It’s a familiar act of erasure. Even if one didn’t think he was well known enough to carry a headline (which is obviously bullshit), a feminist ethic dictates that a journalist like Ramos have his name in the headline as an ideological gesture in support of journalists of color…

For real. The “go back to Univision” line referenced in the article would make a lot more sense if the context that he is a Univision anchor was added.

Considering that Jorge Ramos is also an anchor at Univision - and considered the most trusted journalist in not only spanish language news but news in total - I guess referring him as simply as a reporter makes no sense whatsoever.

This is still more evidence of the seeming threat to whiteness of black joy. A lot of articles came out about this idea after the McKinney pool party cop clusterfuck.

In Napa? Not surprising at all. Rich white people are literally the worst people on the planet.

Okay seriously I have been to Napa Valley and although I’ve never been on the wine train, literally every single place in Napa is white women getting drunk and being loud. Every where. Even French Laundry. And that place is hoity toity af.

People are willing to believe a 15-year-old has more sexual agency than an adult, if the adult is a woman and the child is male. That’s why people might feel sorry for her, or think she’s mentally ill, or think the young boy made a choice in the matter while the grown woman had no say.

I hate this woman.

You get that children don’t get the the same rights and privileges as adults do right? No, you definitely don’t...

“I believe in equality and all those things, but....”

The thing is, I’m not denying that language isn’t fluid or doesn’t evolve. But the problem is that these pieces almost completely ignore black people from the equation.
