You know what they say. Black don't crack and beige don't age!!!! Two snaps!

Can we go back to profiling awesome people who do worthwhile, inspiring things for the universe and whose signals genuinely could use some boosting? Just a thought.

Just devil's advocate here: it is totally possible to have the people you love most supporting you without a wedding party. In fact, in some ways it is easier, because you don't have to select a tiny group of the people you love, but can instead rely upon all the people in your life regardless of gender or ability to…

Damn dude, that is going above and beyond. Sorry but, your friend sounds like a bit of an asshole.

Don't you think it's normal for a bride to pay for the bridesmaids' dresses since she's the one choosing them? Let's be real, these girls will never wear those dresses again, because they're probably made out of lime green satin.

so when my good friend, who lived in my town, planned a destination wedding (island locale - even though her family and her fiance's family were all local folks) with a price tag of no less than $1,500 (airfare, hotel, wedding outfit and meals - and that's before a gift) and I told her I could not attend because I'd…

It's generally covered in the U.K., I'm told. It's not a tradition here, but I think it should be.

gotta disagree here. parents saving their children from every situation is such an egregious mistake of our society. at some point you have to give tough love. it is still entirely possible for this mom to love and support her daughter while not allowing her to live at their home anymore. plus, who knows the home…

Are you seriously saying you would tell a POC that they should invite a racist to a gathering that they are throwing and just put up with it because the GF's BFF was stupid enough to marry him?

Racism isn't "stupid and annoying" it's profoundly painful and dehumanizing.

Yeah, tells you a lot if people think racists are a mere minor annoyance that one should endure for the sake of social graces and civility or some Miss Manners bullshit. Gtfo.

The worst is when you raise the issue with your friend (who has brought this other racist person into your life/social circle) and they're like, oh that sucks, why don't you speak to them if it's making you uncomfortable. 1. Why are you't YOU uncomfortable? Just because you're white doesn't mean you can ignore racism…

Economics 100: If someone is saving you $600 by giving you a motherfucking cake, the "can't afford it" argument goes out the flipping window.

My thoughts *exactly.* A relationship of 5+ years is a partnership. And then when you add in the favor of baking the cake? Dude. DUDE. (I feel extra sensitive in this area because my chosen career is one where I also have people coming to me ALL the fucking time asking for "favors" that they just expect me to do shit…

So it's ok to declare him good looking, but not ok to disagree with that? That's weird.

What exactly do you think a druggie looks like? It's cute how you think the nice white girl can't be on drugs, but it wasn't Jezebel who made that link, it was a cop.
It's not like the cops are awesome or anything, but they know what a heroin high looks like.

Yeah...easy to leave at 5 when you're in the C-suite.
She also talks about how, as soon as she is finished reading her kids a bedtime story, she rushes back to her laptop to continue working.
She also talked about hovering over the toilet with morning sickness while sending emails on her phone.
She also talked about how…

I distinctly remember the day I first came back home from my freshman year in college. My parents picked me up from the airport, fussed over me a bit, got my luggage and put it in the car. After some general chit-chat, my mom turns to me in the back seat and says gravely, "We have some sad news for you that we didn't…

Truth.

Well. The fans are kind of fucking insane. And the book is really, really ridiculous.
