I mean! It really blows my mind b/c my family is full of mostly progressive women, largely who had to run their families even if a man *was* present, but the patriarchy is stronger.

They still act like it’s a wonder I’m not baldheaded and have curly hair instead of strings. Fascinating stuff.

The way my big chop in ‘09 shook my family of women to the core, as the only all-Black granddaughter?? The things I was told…

Now everybody natural 15yrs later. 🫠

Naw foreal this. Also hair is another topic. I cut all my hair off year before last and you would have thought I shot everyone in the family. “Men like women with long hair” me :” I’m hoping they will leave me tf alone”. Unfortunately it did not.

That’s so real about male-centeredness because my grandma has only complimented my figure once and the compliment was “Ouuu you gonna have men lined up around the block” 🥹 like grandma please. Weeks before she said I was too skinny 😩

Yup. Because so many of them are insecure about their bodies. I noticed the women in my family get more critical of other’s weights whenever they’re struggling with their own

Older Black Women feel VERY comfortable commenting on your weight…

You don't have to judge Columbus by the standards of today. His tenure as governor of Hispaniola was so horrific that he was dragged back to Spain in chains to answer for his many crimes.

Plus he never set foot on any land that would ever be a part of the United States of America.

And anyone who tells you there’s no difference is a lie. Anything you change in baking is going to change the flavor/texture. Good or bad.

I had to make both one year b/c my SC family does not go for that, but roux version is superior IMO.

Snack Queen @auntiebaecc.blacksky.app · 4h

I'm not trying to argue, just curious.

Do you use eggs or make a roux?

I was taught using a roux and I stuck with it.

At this point, if someone’s words & actions are not encouraging ppl to do everything they can to get the rights & services back that this admin & the Repub party have taken from us, I can’t take you seriously. Nothing is more important than getting these resources/rights back.
