If I pay for make up and it doesn’t come out well on camera because I’m not ā€œa brideā€ā€¦ I’m gonna whoop your ass
The reason why there is a markup is because makeup artist use certain products and techniques for brides. The same way TV makeup needs certain techniques to show up on camera correctly. There’s extra step for prep on wedding days. Normally at a makeup appointment you come with your face clean, but on wedding days, the MUA will clean it for you and do your facial and even trim your eyebrows. Why is this not common sense?

Ive said for years that I think white parents do their kids a better service socially by allowing their children to date with GUIDANCE. My classmates got to attend family dinners, chaperoned hangouts, etc. They werent shamed out of normal emotions like being attracted to someone. It was all shame for me and my friends from our parents. And it left us unprepared for the world.
The curfew at an HBCU stems from first semester pregnancy at HBCUs because a huge demo of black parents demonized sex or blindly/religiously harped abstinence so lots of girls/guys don’t make it to that second semester. I think curfew is the outdated attempt at a ā€œdeterrentā€

Everyone’s gonna be flabbergasted when the first female president is Republican. I have a certain blonde in mind.
if Kamala and Hillary couldn’t win, AOC won’t either. let’s be more realistic.

No. That doesn’t take away that SHE should have been checking HER child’s homework. Two college educated parents, proclaimed to the principal she is a NYT writer, all them books in that house. They have one child. The homework should have been checked nightly. Period. Stop it.
One of the oddest takes on the NHJ essay is that she should’ve been checking her kid’s schoolwork more. I taught 6th grade math and by then the work was complex enough that most parents weren’t able to correct mistakes at home.

I'll be honest. The number of educated Black women who think that "representation" and having their kids hair affirmed is more important than teaching their kids how to read and do math is not negligible.

they purposefully didnt tell their child abt the SHSAT……… when a big reason the schools are skewed towards admitting white and asian students is a lack of awareness abt the test and preparation for it. that’s actually insane.

like she keeps going "i could fix the system, i had to live my ideology for book tours" then her daughter is like "hey mom they don't give us homework, i can't do algebra" and she's like, don't worry mommy will send a sternly worded email reminding them i write for the nytimes

Wow I came into this article a little sympathetic but was blown away by the selfishness of the author tbh She lives in a giant Dumbo loft wearing designer. But when it’s time to make sacrifices for equality, it’s quite easy for her to let her daughter take the hit!

the one last thing i’ll say about the nikole hannah-jones piece. as someone who was homeschooled, i can assure you that Many people are sacrificing their children’s education on the altar of their political convictions.

the concept of sending my child to a poorly performing school as some sort of performative progressive act, and then seemingly failing to make sure she was meeting or exceeding benchmarks, is simply not something i would ever do. but we all make our own choices in this life.

ā€œParent too busy writing NYT thinkpieces to check any of her kid’s work until approx age 14ā€ is just an amazing concept to sit with

ā€œMy mother sabotaged my education in order to further her career as a public intellectual,ā€ is going to make a hell of an essay to an elite college that still practices test-free admissions.

This entire Nicole Hannah-Jones thing can be summed with: You cannot individually solve systemic problems.

Nikole Hannah Jones’ savior complex was what jumped out to me the most in that NYT piece. If she weren’t Black, this would be a whole different conversation.

I genuinely do not care what a btch said about me in a room I wasn’t in. Clearly she picked the safest location to say it.
