Oh snap. The Dream just released a new free album. I love him and say what you want about him but chances are, you’ve probably sang a song written by him namely, Single Ladies by Beyonce. Even St. Vincent is a fan.

My relationship with Blackboard Vista is contentious at best and laden with expletives at worst.
I've come to realize that I'm one of those people...
Simply put, I’m the worst enemy I’ll ever have.

News stories about the Black community that should...
thesoapboxist:
Here are a few Black feature stories I wish would die. Not because they’re not worthwhile topics we should discuss, but because the conversation the mainstream media generates surrounding them is reductive, redundant and unproductive.
1. Obsessive articles about Black women’s hair
Often appears when: films like Good Hair are released; larger discussions on female standards...

Are we still attacking single moms?
reagangomez:
Like many of you, I was pleasantly surprised by Queen B’s baby bump. “So happy for them” I thought. The joy on their faces was contagious. After all, who doesn’t love babies? Then…the wolves came out. “She did it the RIGHT way! Marriage FIRST, then babies”. Sigh. Can’t we be happy for the new bundle for five minutes without condemning other new bundles…and their mothers? Look, I...

Rape Culture Pro Tip
lovedye:
pantslessprogressive:
If someone is not strongly and widely chastised for using “I’ll rape a pregnant bitch and call it a threesome” in song lyrics, then our society has a giant fucking problem.
What in the fucking fuck… I have never listened to this guy’s music and he’s always given off a strong douche vibe, so I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. But still, wow.

No hate, just stating a fact. I think it’s obvious that the Bryants overstated the events in the wake of the murder, and the resulting international outcry. Similar to people who try to excuse themselves for murdering gays by saying they got hit on.
I agree 100%. I just hope that images like the one pictured...

I totally meant to write ‘allegedly’ with the intention of being politically correct. Thanks. It’s fixed now. :)

Texting with Tori
girlplease:
Me (3:32PM): Have you ever had sex with a Pharaoh? Tori (5:23PM): I missed your text earlier somehow but no, I’ve never had sex with a Pharaoh and also, I’m not comfortable with you “putting my pussy in a sarcophagus”.
Abby, remember this little gem?

I’m curious to hear your thoughts. I watched it half-asleep this morning when it was on AMTV before I went to work..but I do remember having a few “wtf” moments.
I can’t quite vocalize the issues I had with it right now (I’m sick and currently under the influence of cold meds) but later I’ll...
I know people seem to love that new Lil’ Wayne video because of the seemingly ‘positive message’ but I for one, have some major issues with it.

HEY FEMINIST FRIENDS. LOOK AT THIS.

Original facebook status:
“congrats on college, friends! Girls, seriously, be careful. Don’t be stupid. 25% of girls get sexually assaulted or raped during their first year of college. That means no wandering around alone at night, no open cups you aren’t always watching at any parties you go to, travelling with friends in sketch places, etc. Seriously, use your...

Feminism is about choice
goforthandagitate:
“Feminism (at least my brand) doesn’t oppose sexiness, but it opposescompulsory sexiness. It’s the difference between putting on makeup to look like your slutty fantasy, and putting on makeup to leave the house. Between wearing heels because they make your ass tight and your legs long, and wearing heels because they’re in your dress code. Between smiling at a sexy stranger and...
