Monday Roundtable: What Kind of Bitch Are You?

I can and will figure out a way to do everything by myself to keep from having to be nice to someone I don’t want to be nice to. I don’t want to be nice to a lot of people.

“195 Lewis” Is a Love Letter to Black, Queer Brooklyn

What I can say, with the utmost love, is that this series feels like Brooklyn. It feels like the Brooklyn that raised me and protected me as a young woman. It feels like Sisterhood. It’s funny and smart and bright and challenging.

Femme Brûlée: Vegan Cranberry Sauce Muffins

People generally take a spoonful of cranberry sauce, at most, leaving behind a bunch of the sweet, tart, spiced deliciousness to get tossed in the trash. It always breaks my heart. I LOVE cranberry sauce and think it deserves better so I made this recipe to remedy this issue.

Tessa and Mariah Are Breaking Ground and Mending Hearts on “The Young and The Restless”

It is not a small thing for Y&R to cast Mariah’s love for Tessa in the same mold as one of the show’s great supercouples, Nick and Sharon. It’s a normalizing force for a conservative audience that might not view a same-sex story that way.
