You can imagine, Van Gogh, Picasso, and Britney with the vegan sliders. Be nice to the poor thing. She's a nice white girl. She takes good care of herself and always puts on sunscreen. She is very talented and knows how to play ultimate frisbee. She walks into my house with her "family doctor" and talks about normalizing ADD. Mama, I understand that you don't like her unisex apparel. If it wasn't for her I would have never seen White Lotus. This little witch with her Pintrest talking about "hey man... But don't tell me that you are going to marry her or have a long term relationship, okay? I don't care if you mess around with her for a one night stand...

As a black Mama and the daughter of a black Mama, this was like looking at my life. 🤣 When I brought my white boyfriend (now husband) home, I made sure to let the parents know he came from a religious family first or he might not have made through the door. Mom and I both have special containers for bags and my husband's family looked at me crazy the first Christmas when I carefully folded up all the bags AND tissue paper. And if someone brings food to mine or my mom's house (unless it's dessert) and we've cooked for everyone, you might as well have spit in our faces.

[@crystalrippy6698]

I'm white, and my mom and I both save the bags. We also save gift bags and tissue paper. And store them in a certain container. Why throw away perfectly good stuff and waste money buying more? I love that we aren't the only ones out there!!

Pedro Pascal is one of the best SNL hosts **in years** and if he doesn’t make the five timers club with Tom Hanks and Paul Rudd, I’m going to be mad. And my Latino peeps went crazy for a sketch that was 50% in Spanish without subtitles. Representation matters. I love this for so many reasons.
