Source: Justin Sullivan / Getty Oregon County Employee Settles $100,000 “Blue Lives Matter” Lawsuit That’s right, give that sista all her coins. Pay her like you owe her for all the time that you hoe’d her. According to NYDailyNews Karimah Guion-Pledgure will be awarded a $100,000 settlement from her employer, Multnomah County, after she sued their a$$es for creating a racially hostile and insensitive environment just to appease some anti-Black cop lovers. Back in September of 2017, a probation officer who works in her office put up a big “Blue Lives Matter” flag on the wall. Karimah complained because obviously the flag is meant to mock, demean, insult, and otherwise diminish the “Black Lives Matter” mantra that aims to hold police accountable for all the Black people they often eagerly kill. Karimah says she was harassed as her co-workers argued that there was nothing derogatory about the flag. In response, since the supervisors would not force the man to take the flag down, Karimah put up photos of all the Black people who have died unfairly at the hands of police officers. A co-worker immediately complained but Karimah refused to remove the photos since the white man was not made to take his flag down. When the sign policy was changed to require smaller signage, the “blue lives matter” folks all brought smaller flags, and then left signs on Karimah’s “equity wall” that read “thanks a lot” and “bi*ch”. Real classy. After going on leave for weeks, Karimah decided to file a $420,000 lawsuit and eventually settled for $100,000 this week. Oregon Live reports that no signs at allowed at all in the office now. Karimah won AND got paid to leave. Nothing like the smell of white tears in the morning.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Vanessa Cobbs (@vanessacobbs) on Apr 14, 2019 at 8:18pm PDT “After some deep soul searching, I have decided to part ways with the Snowdens,” Vanessa wrote in the message posted on social media. ” I love Ashley, Dimitri, and the children so much, and will continue to do so always. However, my love and commitment to them overshadowed my love and commitment to myself. I was not being truly honest with myself until recently. I was ignoring my inner guidance which was telling me that I do not belong with them in the capacity that they need me to.” “I now know that just because you love someone (or a family), does not necessarily mean that you are meant to be with them. Sometimes their long-established dynamic is not aligned with your own personal growth and path forward.” “Thank you to all who have supported us on this journey. Our love and life together was very real. I still believe that polygamy can be, and is, a beautiful thing. Love who you want to and love out loud and proud. I wish Ashley, Dimitri, and the children nothing but love and happiness, and I know they wish me the same.” Sad but very mature. We’re excited for Vanessa and what her future may hold. Guess the Snowdens will spend the next season of “Seeking Sister Wife” looking for a new boo. What do you think about Vanessa’s decision?
Victoria’s Secret is pretty funny. First they cast Josie Canseco Now they cast Jasmine Sanders…. Who you may not know, but who is one of the Kardashian Jenner friends, with a lot of instagram followers, who I guess they are trying to use to become relevant.. But this is what happens when old people try to be relevant, they google social media, influencer, and try to figure out who the right people are with the most influence…only to clearly fuck right up… They probably put millions into market research, figuring out how to make the instagram generation connect with their brand as they are losing.. This is what they came up with. Pretty disappointing… TO SEE THE REST OF THE PICS CLICK HERE JOIN THE NEWSLETTER YOU ASSHOLES!

Source: DjelicS / Getty Growing up, we’re made to believe that perfectionism is something positive. We’re unconsciously taught that being first, never making a mistake, appearing flawless and constantly winning in every facet of life is what’ll get us the best job, the highest salary, a successful friend group, thousands of likes and followers on Instagram, the envy of our peers and the most perfect life ever. Sure, our teachers, parents and coaches probably told us “winning isn’t everything” to make us feel better after some devastating defeat we experienced in adolescence, but since then, literally everything in society seems to contradict their words, assuring us that there’s no way that statement can actually be true. Whether it’s in sports, politics or the work place; whoever the perfect team, candidate or employee is will be rewarded while the rest are left to sulk in their self-identified imperfections. It’s no surprise that seeing this happen repeatedly would lead us to believe that winning is everything, and being perfect is the only thing that opens the door to the success we so desperately seek. So, what exactly is perfectionism? Psychologists define this mindset as “an irrational desire to achieve along with being overly critical of oneself and others” and in our socially connected society, perfectionism has become more than just a mindset, it’s now a way of life. We’ve somehow allowed ourselves to believe that we are defined by what we are, or rather how “perfect” we are when in actuality, that dangerous thought process is holding us back more than it is propelling us forward. The problem with a mindset fixated on perfectionism is that… it simply doesn’t exist. Instead, perfectionism is the ultimate self-sabotage. It’s based on moving through life attempting to avoid mistakes, even when those mistakes are necessary to help us grow, learn, develop confidence and actually achieve the level of success we desire. If you struggle with perfectionism, you’re not alone. A 2017 study found that there has been a 33% rise in socially prescribed perfectionism since 1989, with this generation in particular struggling to keep up with a culture that makes us feel depressed if we’re not on track to becoming the next Kylie Jenner. However, with this rise of perfectionism comes a rise in productive ways to combat this mindset as the conversation around mental health has shifted from one that’s taboo to one that’s open, accepting and understanding. Yes, having ambition and determination to succeed is healthy. But the idea of perfectionism, the fear of making mistakes and listening to the inner voice that leads you to believe that you’re nothing unless you’re winning is what can lead to depression, anxiety and other mental health problems that take us down a path of constant self-criticism, fear and worry that we’re not measuring up to whatever society’s idea of perfect is. Psychologists suggest reversing this unhealthy idea of perfectionism with mental health exercises that’ll help you develop a more realistic view of yourself and your successes. Understand that being perfect isn’t what leads to social acceptance, but rather being your true, authentic and relatable self does. Mistakes are inevitable. They will happen. And the best thing you can do for yourself is to accept them, learn from them and move on to become the person you’re meant to be. To be clear, letting go of the idea of perfectionism doesn’t mean that you give up on your desire to do well. Instead, this means giving up on the inner voice that tells you that you cannot make a mistake, and if you do, you’ll lose everything. Learning to let go of the idea of perfectionism and replacing it with the mantra of “your best is good enough” might sound intimidating at first, but doing so will free your mind from bondage. Rather than letting social expectations tell you what perfection is, strive for a life defined by learning experiences, deep personal connections, and self-assurance that you are enough.

From the director who brought us the human-traffiking thriller Traffik , comes another suspense flick that’ll have you on the edge of your seat. Deon Taylor’s The Intruder stars Michael Ealy and Meagan Good as a a young married couple who think they’ve found their dream home, until the seller (Dennis Quiad) becomes strangely-attached to them and the home. Ealy, Good, and Taylor sat down with HelloBeautiful to talk about the anxiety-inducing thriller and protecting Black women and girls. “Stand up and do something,” said Taylor. “Too many times as men we don’t stand up for our women… or we back down… and we’re afraid to because we are so strong as people.” “It starts with self-love” and “being present,” said Ealy. “That can create a much stronger level of self-esteem (in children).” “You start to believe things aren’t possible and when you’re so young anything and everything is possible. So, if you teach them then, that continues to grow and build themselves up as they get older,” added Good. The Intruder opens in theaters May 3.

I remember a few years ago, the first of the Rose McGowan leaked nudes appeared…and she was sucking dick in them, like she had been sucking dick since she was a young cult member in the Children of God cult back in Italy…where she was a participant in spreading the word of their lord through pedophilia…with parents who gave up their kids sexually for the pedophiles… I hit her up on FB and was like “Hey Rose, there are dick sucking pics of you on the internet”….to which she said she didn’t care…because sex is wonderful maybe, nudity is wonderful definitely, and because nothing is sacred in this performance art of your life….with your audience watching in… Rose McGowan only really caught my attention in the mid 90s for being nude…so she’s been at this nude thing for a while and we’ve all seen her nude…so what the fuck is the big deal of being nude now…there is no big deal in her being nude now…but it is still fun to participate in as people she doesn’t give a fuck about sending nudes to, but doesn’t mind if we see the nudes and that’s great. An Easter Miracle on this Glorious Holy Weekend…and sex cults fuck people up and make them perverts…but we are all perverts…so it’s nice that someone, even an elderly woman, is feeding us the pussy pics..
