I’m Literally crying from reading this. Too real. Thank you for posting it.

I love The Root. I love your writing. But this isn’t cool. As I mentioned to another poster, I’m a black woman who is queer and mentally ill. I know for damn sure those officers wouldn’t have cared for my life.

I’m am so disappointed with the writers right now. The misgendering, the flippant replies about mental illness. I’m black, queer and mentally ill. This shit doesn’t get a pass because they were trying to make a snarky point white people only caring about white victims.

Agreed. Scout doesn’t belong on this list.

This is foul. Like, I can feel the bile rising in my throat from the mere thought of it. And the smell! LAWD!

My choice:

She released a video of the baby too. My ovaries, they are stirring!

I met my current boyfriend on OkCupid. We’ve been together for 3 years and will probably get engaged in the next year or so. It’s funny, we both ran in the same social circle but didn’t actually meet until getting matched on OkCupid. We literally kept on missing each other.

I’m having surgery on the 8th I think I’m going to have to have someone buy stuff for me since I’ll probably be under anesthesia/in the recovery room when it launches.

Michael Jackson is my birthday buddy! Also, Moonwalker is the strangest movie. I was 4 when it came out and my parents purchased a copy of it when it was released on video. I legit had nightmares about the scene where he turned into a robot.

This is my theme song,lol.

I was 16 when she died. I still remember what I was doing when I found out. My brother called my twin and told her, and we thought he was trying to prank us. I just couldn’t wrap my brain around it.

Yeah, that was really low.

Oh, I’m a fan of the gif reply too. This is my favorite:

My go to response is just “k”. It’s especially satisfying to use after someone writes a book length response of bullshit.

This is me and my twin sister as little girls. I’m pretty sure we would have been YouTube stars like the McLure twins had it exsisted 28 years ago.

Grr, I think Kinja ate my reply. Lots and lots of sex. Like, six degrees of seperaton sex. Sex during Faire, sex after Faire, sex with multiple people at the same time.

Oh, where to start! A is into B, B is dating C, A and B hook up and A makes B break up with C. A then starts hooking up with D while B is hooking up with A, C, and E.

I’m a black woman, and there were a few other POC who worked at my home Faire. People used to confuse me and the 2 other black women who worked there despite the fact that we didn’t look anything alike.
