Yeah, this. I’m not really surprised by the idea that Old Navy jeans last longer than like, Joe’s Jeans or Paige jeans, but the latter are buttery soft and comfortable and they make my butt look amazing. The Old Navy jeans are stiffer, but that probably makes them last longer.

This has been my reaction to this for the last couple months but especially in the last day, when my news feeds have been filled with unwanted news about their nuptials. I like Priyanka Chopra, but dude, I really, really don’t care. I also am surprised that they actually got married and I give them...hmm, 8 months.

That Life-Gets-Better scholarship! They almost got me with that one too, but I ended up going to Spelman instead. But I have a lot of friends and high school classmates who went to FAMU on scholarship (including that one) and loved it.

Facts. I love the weather in the PNW. Just enough winter, just enough summer, mild and rainy the rest of the time.

That’s it! What other reason does Disney need, really?

Beyonce would’ve been awful at that role. It would’ve required true vulnerability, even a little brokenness, and for her to look average to slightly unattractive for at least part of the movie. She hasn't exhibited a willingness to do any of those things.

Yep, Hidden Figures is the first thing I thought of. To be fair to Taraji, I think she's always given roles where she has to play the loud hood rat. She's good at them, but I think she could be good at other things, given the chance.

I said the same thing about Beauty and the Beast. Emma Watson can’t sing. Emma Thompson can’t sing. Why would you cast them in the two roles that really need to be able to belt it? It’s a freaking Disney movie; people aren’t going to go see it because of Hermione. You know you got a problem when the best singer in the

It is true that black girls reach puberty faster than white and Asian girls and that hair products may be one contributing factor to that (there’s research to support both), but it’s not because “they’re” putting estrogen in the relaxers. It’s because some of the chemicals in relaxers are suspected to be endocrine

Truth. I get way more compliments on and questions about my hair now that I'm natural and curly (which I've been for six years). I also feel like I can be so much more creative with my natural hair. Plus it's cheaper 😁

I...don’t see the problem? Her comment here was simply saying that talking about pay equity is complex because of the intersectional pieces. Then she stated some true facts as support. Nowhere did she pit minority women against each other or denigrate black women.

In the same comment, no less! I had to read it three times because I was astounded by the dissonance.

I really wish y’all would stop copying these greys’ comments. They’re grey for a reason. Let ‘em languish.

Thats the Internet’s hip reinterpretation of the word “petty”. Petty actually means “characterized by an undue concern for trivial matters, especially in a small-minded or spiteful way," which is so perfect for Trump that a tiny picture of his face should be next to the definition.

I get that this is observational experience, but this isn’t accurate. There’s no rationalization of abuse - abusive men may gaslight their families and friends into thinking there is one, but abusers will abuse for any reason and no reason at all. There are abusers who beat only wife, kids and aide, or kids alone.

Nobody puts their personal feelings aside at work. You’re a whole human being and your thoughts, emotions and unconcious biases come into play at work as well at home. People do the shit you mentioned in your supposedly sarcastic example ALL THE TIME. There’s science, and statistics, to prove it. It’s one of the

You don’t get sarcasm, do you?

I mean, the call is so ironic because it's an even more perfect encapsulation of what Jay was rapping about than the actual story Jay told in the song.

I’m curious too because I did watch him after the “I don’tstream with women” controversy just to see and I didn’t find him particularly entertaining.

What obvious preferential treatment, though? Any alleged advantage he has was debunked in this article. Are there other instances?
