I’m laughing because this is sad and true. Relevant:

“Denali” is an anagram for “denial.” Riddle me that.

Obama had to nix the first choice for the rename, Mount Kunta Kinte.

I am a month and a half out from an extremely violent rape perpetrated by a friend. I went to a wedding. I got tipsy. I asked to go home. I was bitten, beaten, raped and burnt instead. I’m 37. I wasn’t doing anything crazy to “earn” what happened. I can’t wait for a slut walk in my area. I’ll wear the long dress and…

Rovell: Maybe it turns out racism isn’t even racist. Maybe it turns out the invisible hand is black.

First, as to the question at hand: I did my Master’s thesis, at least in part, on Michael Jackson. He was a fascinating character. I’m happy to share some tidbits if people want to hear them.

ALL: Please keep in mind that she was talking about the very pervasive and damaging stereotype of the “angry black women” and how her anger is expressedly used to diminish and damage her credibility time and time again. The critique is not about anger as an emotion individually but about how it is used to marginalize…

Did you read what Kara wrote? Because this response, too, is also very white...

The Mike Vick shit is just...let it fucking GO. He served time. He’s not reoffended. He’s moved on with his life in a positive manner. If you don’t like what he did, I get it. But this “let’s drag him for life” shit folks are doing pisses me off so fucking much. Child molesters don’t get this much vitriol. FFS

That is really disingenuous. Just as there is unwritten pressure to be Christian, love football and other things that are “all American” there is certainly unwritten pressure to be in a committed relationship with ONE person. Polygamy is outlawed and frown upon (for some valid reasons, I might add), polyamory is seen…

Right and the anger exists because people are CONSTANTLY pressured into thinking they MUST be monogamous. So much so that they agree to it even when they don’t think they are capable. This is the start - it comes BEFORE the lie.

Am I the only one that’s been listening to Dan Savage all these years?

I’ve always liked Vicki. mostly because her crazy is HILARIOUS. I am not impressed with Meghan. I can’t figure out why, but I don’t like her. at all. someone help me figure this out... However, I can see that Vicki is so over the top that she makes everyone else look reasonable.

I always felt especially bad for Lynne because she seemed to be very intellectually challenged. How was she really going to be okay - though it seems like she’s doing something with her jewelry. They both have dead eyes.
