“Oh any speaking to the press WILL backfire, trust me Tom,” Harry added.

How do you accidentally talk to someone for 9 hours? 

Thank you for your sacrifice.

Also, how is J’na pronounced? I read it as similar to “Gina” at first, but now I’m wondering if it rhymes with “way”? 

Um, because we live in the worst possible timeline, I feel the need to specify: I’m not being sarcastic or making fun of your name. I’ve just never seen it before and love

Ok that’s it:  There’s now a tiny black hole on a ranch in Wyoming because Kanye has finally disappeared entirely up his own ass.

Now if Jill Scott can officially cancel her “Who Is Jill Scott 20th Anniversary Tour” so I can get my money back from trifling ass Ticketmaster, I’d be...GOLDEN

It’s a damn shame how Ashley Reece’s article was treated on Jezebel, but it’s not without precedent. *cough* Kara Brown *cough*

I have not done my own hair on a regular basis in decades. i have mostly 4b,and super coarse wiry hair and zero hair skills. me and my hair not gonna make to the end of this month, much less June.

ugh the line about the guilt of attaching debt to your parent’s name... so true it hurts. can’t wait to read this!
it also coincidentally seems like a good companion to something I’m reading right now, ‘A Generation of Sociopaths’ - really fascinating breakdown of these generational burdens, and what everyone living

Because black people can and should be written about without only focusing on how they’re suffering.

Also, black people are worth writing about without focusing primarily on their suffering.

There’s one unique group that receives disproportionate attention to their hair and one group that places a disproportionate cultural significance on their hair. And that’s black people, the people who this article is about. If you only want to read covid-19 articles about death tolls and Trump being an incompetent

And nowhere in this article was it implied that hair health trumps bodily health, just that hair is a thing that black people are worried about right now for a myriad of cultural and physical reasons.

This comment section, however, is Karen central.

Black people can worry about the state of a global pandemic and their hair breaking off at the same time.
