Man, who is eating Chipotle??? This is NOT good food. That is where this idiot made his first mistake. This guy lives in Napa and he is choosing to hit up a Chipotle? What an idiot.

PM Dawn! My husband (a krs one fan) recently showed me that whole thing when krs one threw PM Dawn off the stage. Ugh!

I have never seen Boomerang and now I know what I’ll be doing this evening! It’s on Netflix!

I saw him young on an episode of the VERY short lived Richard Pryor show. It was a shock to my system! He was also Johnny Witherspoon then.

Breaking long texts into small chunks is a strategy often used for struggling students with attention issues. Hats off to the people who decided to use a worthwhile strategy. On the other hand, for someone who claims to be so smart, why is he in need of techniques used for middle school students who are struggling…

My husband currently has a 2 mile commute that he often bikes. The bummer is that if he wants to get any promotion, which would be good because he is a heavy equipment mechanic so a promotion means less wear and tear on his body, he would have to move to a 45 minute commute each way. I am at a 20 minute commute each…

The hand thing!! I am obsessed with it. My mom was on it, telling me to start wearing sunscreen on my face every day when I was 13 and that is paying off pretty good, but once I saw the Madonna hand thing I started putting sunscreen on the back of my hands daily. So far so good, but I dread the day I see liver spots…

You just described my dad to a tee.

I agree. I am not really a fan of either Jay Z or Beyonce, but I understand why others like them so much. At first I was kind of irked by these “confessional” type albums. I would not want to air any dirty laundry from my marriage. But, it is a powerful message to send that marriage takes work and money/ power/…

What is with people who do not end one relationship before starting another??? At the core, I think a lot of it comes from someone who is seeking validation. There is a constant need for attention, praise and affirmation. I say this as someone who watched her father destroy her mother with numerous affairs.

Add to everything else the fact that black doctors frequently face racism in the form of patients who do not want a black doctor. I am not saying what he did was right, but I am saying I understand how he got to that point. When you are told education is the way to get ahead and then you still face ignorance, it…

We are kindred spirits! My sister used to have this cat named Taka and we used to sing the rap from I Feel for You, “Taka, Taka Khan! Taka Kahn lemme rock you, lemme rock you Taka Kahn, etc. “

Somewhat related, I have been singing Valley Girl to my little pup because I took her to get her nails clipped. Just the line, “A pair of jeans to fit her butt and a place to get her toenails cut” My husband doesn’t know Frank Zappa so he thinks I am just singing this to her and he is kind of into it.

The educational system is so rough on PoC. As a white looking Latina I get enough shit teaching in the STEM field. And my thought is, if parents and students feel entitled to say some pretty racist stuff to me what are they saying to the students??? I say this not for any, “You’re so great, you’re a teacher!” but…

Man, she’s a lot more optimistic than I would imagine. Also, the fight should include better roles for WoC. That is almost more important than winning an Oscar in moving towards portraying a group that is historically relegated to scenery as powerful and important.

What? That dude is HOT!

As a bicultural person I have some first hand experience with code switching. There are norms and ways that certain cultures (and it is also fairly regional) have. Being at my white family’s events is very different than my Mexican family events. Having a AfAm only event is to create a space where people can be…

I am 100% sure that is what he thinks.

I want to try Babyfeet so bad, but will have to wait. I ran 5 miles today (which is my usual run) and got a disgusting blood blister on my toe. It burst around mile 3 and I wound up with a sock full of blood. So gross!!

Yes! Just went on vacation with my mom and she took a picture of me. I was cringing anticipating how fat I would look in the picture (I put on a few pounds during my masters program), but instead I was like, “damn I look curvy!” It’s like the older I get, the more body confidence I get.
