Googled him and found this from my third-grade classroom in Berkeley way back.

I’m intrigued by the oatmeal-cookie soap, but would it make me hungry all day?

It probably wouldn’t have helped in this case, but getting the county to put in sidewalks, streetlights, and traffic calming measures in neighborhoods can save lives. Very often low-income and minority neighborhoods are neglected when it comes to basic traffic safety measures. And it’s an area where good community…

Yikes, Black women’s equal pay day isn’t until August 22. That’s worse than last year, wtf?

I do trust Rep. Waters though. It doesn’t sound as though she’s taking impeachment off the table permanently, just shifting the focus to getting the report made public.

I can’t claim the Honorable Ms. Waters as my auntie, but I do appreciate her everyday.

Thanks, good antidote to the post-Mueller-report doldrums. Maybe everything isn’t hopeless.

Not usually a fan of tiedye, but I kind of love the denim jacket in the top photo.

Good luck! You can do it!

Yes, you really need perfect skin to pull off that fire-orange Versace dress like she does. So beautiful.

Mmm, that green eyeshadow is amazing on her.

She is the G.O.A.T in so many ways.

Thanks, this is great!

Some of us miss you though. Hope all is well and you’re just taking a well-deserved news vacation!

Such heartbreaking statistics on maternal mortality and suspensions of black girls from school. There’s a lot of justified outrage against R. Kelly and his enablers in the music industry, but let’s also look at the way schools enable and collude in abuse of black girls, treating them as threats instead of children…

Thank you for bringing this up. I do get why people love the show, and I’m not usually one to insist that every show deal with every issue, but the blindspot on race actually causes major plausibility issues with Shrill. Lolly Adefope’s character, also plus-size, is also black and openly gay, and yet is somehow immune…

Well-pu, thank you!  And as Space Madness pointed out so well in a comment on Tuesday, the black characters on the show seem to exist solely to support Aidy Bryant. While this is acknowledged in the last few episodes, it comes off as sort of a hasty apology by the show’s writers. The figure of the always-encouraging…

Will do--thanks!

Oh no, I love her but I don’t like being scared.

And she’s only 46, so she could stay in the Senate the next 60 years. Presidents are short-timers.
