The 12 Stages of Writing (Or a Guide to Procrastinating Like a Pro)
I’ve been a professional procrastinator for as long as I can remember and it hasn’t improved with age. In fact, with the social media at my fingertips ALLATAHM, it’s gotten worse. This is why the week I took a social media break, I was super productive. Those of us who …
Dear Madonna, NOPE! You Cannot Use That Word
Social media keeps showing us that some of our favorite celebrities should really make use of their publicists 24/7 for all things. Also, they need to hire community managers to handle their accounts because when left to their own devices, they blow shit up so properly and so quickly. Madonna …
Cynthia Spills Todd Tea and Kenya STAYS Starting Mess: RHOA Season 6, Episode 12 Recap
Last night’s Real Housewives of Atlanta (RHOA) had me really wishing someone would give Kenya a papercut and tell her to get her life together. That lady twirls on mess ALLATAHM. She should be tired of herself. Lemme just get started because I got words for Messy Moore further down. …
I Watched SNL (Hosted by Drake and Featuring Sasheer Zamata) Last Night
Last night’s Saturday Night Live was highly anticipated because Drake was hosting (and was the musical guest) but also because it was Sasheer Zamata’s first show as a featured castmember. As a former huge fan of SNL and a currently jaded sometimes watcher, I didn’t even decide to tune in …
Target Got Hacked But Our Love For Them Did Not
You know about my love for Target, cuz I wrote a post wondering what voodoo Target does to keep us in their store for hours. Or the fact that you go in for a hair clip and come out with a new closet system. Well, it’s been all in the …

Tina Fey’s Prayer For Her Daughter is Hilarity
I am a HUGE fan of Tina Fey. She’s one of my sheroes (along with her BFF Amy Poehler). I wanna be their third wheel so bad. They’re the main reason I even feel like watching the Golden Globe Awards tonight. Last year, I read Tina’s book Bossypants and it’s …
About the Relationship Between Africans and African Americans
Last night, @MisstoyaJ sent me a couple of tweets asking me to address the meaning of the word “akata” by Nigerians and other Africans because they had seen it on Twitter. It felt cheap to just talk about the word without talking about the larger dynamic behind it. This led …
THOT: Fail Slang at its Worst
I do a terrible job of keeping up with new slangs, because I’m youngold and I don’t really listen to the radio or new music. Twitter is what keeps me in the loop, as always. And that’s where I kept seeing people type about THOT. I THOUGHT it was the …
