Also... SNL nailed E!’s shitty programming this weekend:

I am black with locs for 14 years. I gotten compliments from people that I wouldn’t expect and have received hate from black people saying I should cut them for jobs. ( never had problem with employment) Lin does not bother me cause who cares.

I am pretty sure she meant 10lbs of muscle, as she is quite swole herself. AKA: ‘everybody go work out for this video.’

Trans* issues are a minefield. I hate being being asked about this as the token LGBT, because as a cis gay, I know literally nothing about trans issues and can’t really relate, and anything I say that’s “wrong” can and will be used against me in the court of public opinion.

The most confusing thing is that social justice holds specifically contradictory views on gender. The first is that trans people were born this way (ie gender doesn’t match anatomy) which is (correctly imho) the accurate justification for insurance covering treatment. The contradictory view is that gender is 100% a…

Logic really isn’t their strong suit.

one of the most objectively stunning women on Earth

I wisely neglect to comment on #PaulaDeen but I say my husband is disgusted with her.

A-friggin-men.

Froggyfriendly, we are not hating on you- or at least most if us aren’t-but most of us are women and probably mothers and we know that if you think you can’t get on top of this cleaning situation now, it will be twice as bad when you’re taking care of a baby and cleaning up while trying to also keep it safe. Being…

Exactly! Im in the process of trying to get custody of my niece from her (middle class) drug addict father and it is such a long hard process that I sometimes sit and think how many kids must be in really shitty situations that arent deemed shitty enough to warrant removal by CPS.

No, the mom said her house was neat. She was accused of neglect for needlessly taking her kids from their clean house to the grandmother’s pigsty. Why in the world should the state send a housekeeper to your babysitter’s house to clean it just so you can go party all weekend? And, how long would this partying all…

Hire a housekeeper. I get it, you’re busy and you never learned how to clean a house. Everyone will also chime in to say your husband could do it and so on. Okay. Still, hire a housekeeper. Knowing CPS won’t get involved in your parental rights is a low standard to set for yourself.

I love how the people whining about the comments don’t stop and think “what if any of these commenters have suffered from being abused as kids.” Because there’s quite a lot who have, or have witnessed abuse or worked with abused children. Like no shit they’re annoyed at the apologia.

No, the comment section correctly called out myopic naval gazing thinkpieces that apologised for child abuse. Jez should be absolutely ashamed for enabling this.

I first remember her on this amazing and legit groundbreaking show called “Girlfriends” that was on UPN (and that she sings the theme to in the clip above). It followed the lives of four Black women of different social classes living in L.A. That show was on when I was a teenager and had a huge effect on me as a POC…

I live and work as a lawyer in Canada, so I don’t know what the fundamental principle of child protection legislation is in America, but here each province has its own legislation. What all of those different Acts have in common is, the fundamental principle of child welfare/protection legislation is to protect/work…

I was treated as a criminal. I wasn’t given a chance to explain myself. I wasn’t asked: What happened? I was just thrown behind bars. I felt like I was seen as a monster.

You might say that my ideals are unrealistic, and that coming from Quebec I am out of touch with the reality of American civic life in all its painful complexity.
