As an element of the outfit standing on its own I totally agree about the waistband/seam, but as a paired outfit I kind of love it? Because it echoes the waist on Samira’s dress and provides a unifying visual element without making them matchy-matchy and it just adds like another +3 adorability factor for me

Don’t forget the sky-high compensation plans for “administrators” who do nothing all day, while screwing over the faculty with no raises for years on end.

I have a co-worker who, after Trump won, printed this out and hung it on the wall. He’s one of a very small number of Trump supporters around here. He became upset when he realized *someone* drew a Hitler mustache on Trump. He’s still trying to figure out who would do such a thing and has accused almost everyone in…

I was farm sitting for two asshole goats, and one night I went in to feed them. They tore the electric fence down, and when I opened the gate, POW. Knocked me right on my ass. And then they stood there bleating/laughing at me.

“Ka’Deem Carey has been fined $6,076 for a uniform violation.”

Mariah and Her Moiness have twin personalities. That over the top diva fabulousness they share is so very similar. They’d have the same taste in things.

Has Mariah Carey ever worn a pair of shoes that didn’t look stolen from Miss Piggy?

I am coming home for Thanksgiving to my almost-fully conservative family. I will likely be spending my non-family time at Avondale or Good People, right after the first relative makes some shitty comment about sore losers or an even worse racist/misogynist comment. It gives me so much happiness to know you and the…

Me too!! Yay for other Jezzies in Bham!

Alabama’s snazzy belt and matching brooch of sanity.

My home county! Yay for not being completely fucked up in this one situation! (Seriously, Kelly, thank you so much for writing this - I hadn’t seen this yet, and it warms my cold, dead heart a fraction.)

NC native here. It’s not just the south. Thats a fantasy that a lot of people on the Left like to cling too. Put all of America’s race problems on one region and call it a day and that allows them to ignore what is actually all around them. It’s ALL of America. The most segregated city in America is VERY Northern.

I’m so glad to see this. I also teach in a rural, mostly white school and felt numb and unable to address the election with my elated students. My coworkers are also pretty conservative so I spent most of the day yesterday in my room texting my friends.

And yet, people still seem to think that winning the popular vote actually means something.

As a black dude currently living in NC, I made sure to cast my ballot early. Here’s hoping McCrory and Trump have a bad day tomorrow

The truly amazing thing about this whole campaign (and the 30 years that preceeded it) is how a woman who independent and impartial analysis rates as “somewhat better than the rest of ‘em”, with a 30 year record of public service in which her worst verifiable transgressions are “changed position on various social…

I. Don’t. Get. This. At. All. Most of the time, I want to be left the fuck alone unless I ask for help. The Trader Joe’s chit-chat machine makes me want to crawl out of my skin. Viceland has been running ads featuring white women who think salespeople in stores are being helpful, and black women thinking they are…

Oh I don’t mind nosey.

The other option is just to wait until you’re old enough that she has given up hope. Parents of older couples are always way more relaxed about this stuff.

But if you’ve already got the groom lined up, you might not want to wait that long!
