0909-holly-kearl-stop-street-harassment1_296

Tweet Groping= Punishment of up to one year in jail Public Indecency= Fine of up to $500, three months in jail and, if the judge thinks it’s appropriate, registration under Megan’s Law Repeat flashers= A year behind bars, three years of probation and a $1,000 fine But they are only punishable if you REPORT the crime.

Low Carb Fall Recipes

Screen shot 2011-10-03 at 2.03.44 PM

Tweet Flaxseed Apple-Pumpkin Muffins The name is a mouthful but you’re too wrapped up in the post summer blues to care. It’s only natural. I know you’re bitter as you pack away itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikini and broken beach gallivanting dreams.

As in orange you glad this season offers its own unique opportunity for outdoor gallivanting activities. Fall is here and with it comes the two most Read More →

“Only 3 percent of the 4,000 Mammal Species Are Monogamous” and Humans Aren’t One of Them

Screen shot 2011-10-03 at 2.05.14 AM

Tweet I have been pondering the institution of marriage since I saw the Disney movie “Earth.” The movie follows a family of humpback whales, a polar bear father on the quest for food and a herd of elephants making a long migration, among others. The movie was beautiful but there was one nagging pervading behavior among all the male animals, they impregnated and jetted. Except the male penguin, who protected the egg while the female went to find food and vice-versa, the penguin relationship seemed to be coequal as far as the movie depicted but the other animal relationships weren’t.

Screen shot 2011-10-03 at 12.28.56 AM

Tweet By Jazzmynn Finney Home buying is no thirty minute special and I learned this throughout my process. I always wanted to be a homeowner. My mom owned 12 houses at one point. I wanted to follow in her footsteps so I began searching as soon as I graduated from college. I had been in the home buying process for 3 years before I found the house of my dreams. This journey started in Cleveland. I was under contract for a duplex for $26,000…Can you say INCOME PROPERTY! I was using the FHA 203k loan to fix minor issues in Read More →

Men Already Know How to Act Right

man-and-woman-bathroom-signs

Tweet By Wisdom is Misery Urban Dictionary: Act Right – When you’re so caught up in your lady/fella that you stop buggin out, cheatin, dodgin calls, etc. I am often chastised for “not taking men to task.” These accusations are correct. I’ll admit, when it comes to relationships, I rarely take men to task. I believe I rarely take women to task too, although I do frequently suggest you perform activities outside of your comfort zone but that is another discussion for another day. I don’t take men to task because through ignorance or bias, I believe the average man Read More →

Why Some Men Don’t Want Daughters

Screen shot 2011-09-30 at 1.32.21 PM

Tweet “As a man, why don’t you want a daughter? And those who don’t, why would raising a daughter be harder than raising a son?” I posed this question on twitter and facebook after seeing this tweet: “If God ever gives me a daughter I swear I’ll fight him. I’m not about that raising a daughter life.” And often hearing men lament how they would rather not have daughters, or have the responsibility of raising a daughter. I believe some said in jest or sarcastically but what’s the root of this? One man said on twitter: “Daughters bring men a Read More →

The Biggest Lessons I Learned from my Wild-Mouthed Mother

meandmomjpg

Tweet Mother knows best here’s a few examples why. On reproducing: “Kids? KIDS?!!! What’s so great about kids? Grandkids? Believe me I’m not that type of mother.” Said sarcastically at lunch, not to devalue the gift of life, because she says raising my siblings and I are her greatest accomplishments, but to promote living your life to the fullest before thinking of reproducing. I have to agree with that. On your relationship with yourself: “When you truly love yourself there is nothing, nothing anyone says that can affect you” When you’ve accepted your flaws and your strengths and have identified Read More →
