On The Job Board: Have a Job? Want One? Inquire Within!
NYC non-profit: Boss is looking for an archivist-type to sift through old papers and organize them or maybe find interesting facts in them? No clue, but ideally this person studied history, the arts and/or cultural studies at a brand-name school, is detail-oriented, and a good speller. I imagine the pay's decent (might even get health insurance) & we all have really flexible schedules.
I guess if you're seriously interested, leave a comment & a way I can contact you? How does this thing work??

On Chocolate Chip: Free Your Hair and Your Scalp Will Follow
"I say, wear your hair and everything else the way you want to," if only it were followed by "...and leave your identity politics out of it."
Because it's true. Really kinky black hair (not like Ms. Pam's up top - she basically Scandinavian in comparison) takes effort to shape into anything worth dragging into work. This is the kind I sport and choose not to straighten. I'd love to say it's cause I'm Black-Proud or afraid of the chemicals, but it's just that straight hair takes maintenance and money.
(Thinking about how easily straight hair could become 'str8' and suddenly nodding in 1000% agreement with this post. Keep the ID pols OUT.)

On Glee: A Bad Reputation is Better Than No Reputation at All…Arguably
Since when is it human nature to ignore something you hate? No fun in that.

On Sex Offender Week: Feminism for Young Dudes
"If you want a word to have no meaning, give it none. NWA took back Nigga..."
Wow, no. Just no. Also, girls calling each other bad words basically supports Matt's point. In most cases, we haven't changed the meaning because it's not that easy & not up to just us?

On Don't Worry About The Government (Oh Wait, Yeah, Do)
Thank you. We need for 'neoliberalism' to enter common parlance. If more people knew that the endgame isn't "more freedom-liberty w/ lower oppression-taxes," but is instead "GUATEMALA PERU URUGUAY," well... well then they'd likely stick their heads even deeper into the sand I guess. Hopefully money will be extinct by the time that happens.

On Chocolate Chip: Tyler Perry Just Keeps On Presenting
I'm part of the black buj and I've twice watched his shit by accident and ended up really liking what I saw. He's not a bad writer if you can get over what only appears to look like stock characters and tired plots. I like that Tyler Perry just says 'fuck the Cosbys.' They put us in the brownstone as doctor, lawyer. Hell, we're in the G-d white house. And *SNAP* racism is over now. So, can we have our weed-smoking granny characters back??

On The Men's Room: Man v. Tool Academy
I think that's probably the key (full disclosure: recently singled woman here) - whether you're stay-at-home dad or POTUS: a man goes about taking care of shit without breaking down or feeling especially entitled for doing so. And a man must be hot. Just look good - always - and um, handle your business. (For more, please see "GENDER ROLES FOR WOMEN".)

On So There Was Some Kind Of Health Care Thing That Happened Last Night
Ahh yes, best to maintain one's decorum & sense of propriety while the country rots. I'd have loved it if you said something to counter my silly harrumph, because I'm all out of optimism.

On So There Was Some Kind Of Health Care Thing That Happened Last Night
"We're slow to act, we're easily confused, we often fall prey..."
We? There are two distinct races in this country: the slow-dumb-fats and those capable of logical thought/reasoned action

Goons & Stephanie: Thanks! I'll email you - and anyone else who responds - with details as soon as I get them. I *just* got this request from my boss in the kitchen, right after reading this post. Magical.
