Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Isn't the point there for butch to be more mainstream, though?

I thought the point was that short hair didn't have to be butch. But that ship has long sailed with me, so I could be reading it slantedly. Also, butch doesn't have to be grim, does it?

Every time IO9 posts about Donald Glover I get into irritating arguments. Except this is new! Improv comedians can't do drama. Bite me.

I think they sabotage the point by having the women look a) grim and b) dressed androgynously. It's hardly successfully pushing for radically short hairstyles to be mainstream.

Mmmmm, I think they all look super hot...and totally dykey. :)

Who's got a favorite non-traditional side dish recipe they want to share?

I've done a sweet potato/blackbean hash from Eating Well on a number of occasions that is so good. [ETA - found it online: [link]

I also think kale or collard chips may need to start making an appearance.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, I went the other way. (That's what she said.)

Do you want non-traditional Thanksgiving or new Thanksgiving-ish ideas, David?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Hmm, I'm in the hospital on free wi-fi, and I think they possibly have LJ blocked. Or the site is down.

I suppose I shouldn't complain, since the hospital actually has free wifi in the patients' rooms.

Yeah, I figured. It looked more like blocking than site outage. I am tempted to poke the rest of the internet to see what else might be blocked.

Let this trend flourish. Both meara and I will be happy.

I think it's hysterical that the black women there have more dykey hair than I do. Given that on my most well-groomed days I have about the least hair ever. It's not how much you have, it's what you do with it.

Also, I'm pretty sure that I will never be able to think of the fauxhawk (especially dyed) as a straight woman's haircut. I just...my brain won't wrap itself around that. It's very narrow that way.
