I've never read her work myself but my boyfriend enjoys her, her name is Octavia E. Butler. She's a Black author (I mention this because it's particularly rare in the Sci-Fi field, and she's highly respected. I think that's awesome), and apparently her work is fairly diverse character wise.

Jesse sounds perfect. He's also pretty light, to the point where he could seem racially ambiguous. When I watched Cabin in the Woods I thought he was Black (mixed) but even by the end I still wasn't completely sure. You'd think he would be the perfect compromise for people who seem to be pained when seeing dark…

I'm 21, and I don't think the majority of my friends know who Robin Thicke is. I think part of it is that beyond "Lost Without You" (And 'Wanna Love You Girl') he hasn't had a huge hit single that broke through to get radio play on a variety of radio stations. I was hoping that since he was on The Voice (he…

Oh. My. God. I've heard this on the radio, I had no clue it was Justin Bieber. I didn't like the song, but I thought it was a different artist. An older artist. A uh...not White Canadian artist (part of that is because I keep hearing it on the hip-hop station and there aren't that many non-POC artists that play on…

Dear Dodai,

Senior prom (I'm on the far right) 2009. Junior prom I had a long boho type dress and senior prom I decided to switch it up because hey, why not (honestly, to this day I rarely show off much of my body but I lost 30 pounds between freshman and senior year [still don't know how] and I just wanted to feel…

1) I think Amber Rose is amazing looking. But, that wig is a mess. Her shaved head is the best look. But, as long as she thinks she looks great that's what matters.

Yeah, I'm pretty sad this is the last season (and I think it's a short season, too). I've never watched Warehouse 13 even though maybe I should if there's more potential for crossover even after Eureka is gone....

It's like you read my mind.

EUREKA!!! Are you all caught up? And yes, Taggert would do something like this without question. I love Taggert, it took me a long time to get over him and Jo.

I gobbled up her letter from the editor every issue. I really don't know why I liked her so much, maybe it was her curly hair. It probably wasn't that, but for some reason her hair sticks out in my memory.

Yes! I was such an Atoosa-stan for no real reason whatsoever, I watched the first couple episodes of that show. I think it was called Miss Seventeen or something.

Seriously, none of the teen magazines seem to be around anymore other than Seventeen and Teen Vogue. When Y.M. went out of business I got free Teen Vogue (completely different market. Those who could afford clothes advertised in Y.M. could not necessarily afford clothes advertised in Teen Vogue. Not that I was buying…

Yes! I hated that first season when it was Shoket instead of Atoosa. I'm glad it wasn't just me.

Whoa, so much Atoosa love here! I just came home and saw all these notifications and I wondered if maybe someone hacked my account and wrote something troll-y because I didn't remember writing anything that would get much attention. So I *did* remember it correctly, Atoosa was awesome!

I wonder if she really believes that her experience was a good one. Maybe it's hopeful thinking, but perhaps she's just issuing a statement like this because she doesn't feel like fighting anymore. Actually, that's also an incredibly depressing scenario.

The woman who was editor back when I was younger and reading this magazine (Atoosa? I think it was Atoosa) would totally have accepted it. Maybe it's just me making memories better than they were but I definitely feel like the magazine was more progressive under Atoosa's leadership and it went downhill after Shoket…

Yeah, that stuff is kind of normal for her age. I think Lindsay was much farther along (bad decision-wise) at this stage in her career/life. Miley seems to have a much better head on her shoulders.

There were cans of Smirnoff, as well. Whoever that girl is, she certainly likes what she likes.

Hey you puppy/dog experts, what kind of dog do you think that is? I'm better at guessing fully-grown dogs than puppies and even then I'm fairly mediocre.
