Whose Woke Kid Wrote This Journal Entry and Why am I So Proud?

Why We Created the Black Women Running for Office Database and An Important Update to It

About Mo’Nique, Pay Inequality and Her Asking Us to Boycott Netflix
A lot of people do not mess with Mo’Nique. I’m not a huge fan myself but I respect her longevity in the humor game, and tip my hat to the OG. But Mo’Nique has also burned a lot of (powerful) bridges (Oprah, Lee Daniels, Tyler Perry). With that in mind, …

White Women Need to Get Their Shit Together
Yesterday was the much-anticipated (and dreaded) race for Alabama’s newest senator. One candidate was the run-of-the-mill Democrat. Nothing radical or life-altering about him. Doug Jones is the status quo in human form. And the other was a pedophile who stood boldly in his racist, confederacy values. Roy Moore would have …

Whose Cool Ass Shady Cat is This?
Everyone knows that cats are the patron saints of petty in the animal kingdom, so when I saw this photo from Imgur I had to share it on my Awesomely Luvvie Facebook page: Basically, this cat is cool AF. And sick of everyone’s shit. In the midst of Cheeto administration …
I Know Why Taylor Swift is on TIME’s Person of the Year Cover But WHY is She on the Cover?
The much-anticipated honor of TIME’s Person of the Year just got announced, and they chose “Silence Breakers.” Inspired by this year’s #MeToo hashtag, which took the internet by storm, this makes perfect sense. “Me Too” is more than a hashtag, though. Before Alyssa Milano tweeted that, it was a campaign that …
