I, too, sing America.

Kara, this is fucking perfect. This is one of the best things you’ve ever written #onhere. This got me, a 39 year old black woman right in the gut:

Trump is an asshole scam artist, but I honestly don’t give a shit if these people get paid or not because they chose to perform for the benefit of an odious slimeball.

I once had the tremendous privilege of sitting next to Dr. John Dossetor at a dinner for transplant specialists. (No, I am not a transplant surgeon.) Dr. Dossetor is a nephrologist and bioethicist who coordinated the first kidney transplant in the British Empire at McGill in Montreal in 1958. As you can imagine, he…

I’m really not one to clutch my pearls over things, but trying to pass this off as just being funny is a disservice to a lot of people. Writing off a young black man as someone whose thoughts consist of nothing more than “Do I want to fuck it? Na, so let me just ignore it” is gross, especially considering she doesn’t…

These conversations are vital, though? The very fact that Lena’s remark was “offhand” and clearly meant to be “funny” is indicative of a major blind spot many feminists have with regard to race that’s continually handwaved away.

Personally, I’m exhausted by the idea that we have to accept other women’s racism/classism/cisgenderism simply because they identify themselves as “feminists” and sometimes talk about body image, abortion and equal pay. There is room for debate and discourse among women, and there needs to be space for critique of the…

As Lena said in her tweets, the Met story was about her own insecurities,

Except she mentions that he just scrolled through his phone. Theres nothing to these gross statements but her own weird self projections

She’s projecting her insecurity onto him.

Whoa. I’m so sorry you’re going through this. What a piece of shit. Echoing the other commenters, he’s clearly invested in saving whatever is left of his marriage and that’s it. As sad and despairing as it may be, I think you’ll have to accept the fact there’ll never be closure. It’s the worst feeling in the world but…

I don’t want to be cruel, but.... I think a lot of your confusion is coming from your need to stick with the idea that he did indeed truly love you. It’ll be difficult, but if you want to get over this you need to face that he didn’t love you.

This is going to sound harsh, but I couldn’t think of a nice way to say this.

This guy sounds like a garbage explosion, which makes it so much worse when they are able to hide that for so long and leave you feeling rotten. I’ve been there myself and completely sympathize. My advice is to cold turkey that shit and never contact him again (I learned that one the hard way.) You will find so much…

I am so sorry. I hope this is the first and last time you will ever have to deal with gaslighting.

I’m trying to be gentle ... but I think you know the explanation. His wife caught him in yet another web of lies, and he’s freaked out about destroying his marriage. Even though he already did. His wife probably banned him from talking with you or texting you. (Please, please, please do not reach out to his wife…

white feminist gonna white feminist

Can’t we just take this franchise for a long drive to the country, open the back door and let it frolic blissfully in a field, while we floor it and leave it behind in a cloud of dust?

While Americans are talking about ensuring that black Americans’ lives matter, they still are doing shit all about the massive American military violence killing brown and black people all over the world.

I think, in this situation, we expect it because she spoke about it. I can’t account for other situations because she’s really not my cup of tea so I don’t follow her career all that much, but in this case SHE’S specifically speaking about America. Even if the interviewer outright asked her opinion, she could have…
