sisterhood of the traveling chevron dress

okay guys, it’s back. you know the beth ditto for evans chevron dress that i’ve been obsessed with finding for years? a few years ago, a reader sold me hers, unworn… and it was too small for me. so i sold it on ebay… and THAT person has finally admitted that she can’t wear it. so, it’s on ebay and i’m sharing the link for her. this thing is rare- no one has one for sale anymore and i’ve basically given up my dream of ever owning one (um also my style has completely changed in the years since it came out BUT i was always like, ‘i’ll make an exception !!!!’ because i used to want it SO bad).

Nestlé pays $200 a year to bottle water near Flint – where water is undrinkable

While Flint battles a water crisis, just two hours away the beverage giant pumps almost 100,000 times what an average Michigan resident uses into plastic bottles.

Reminder that it has been almost three-and-a-half years (I’m rebageling this on September 30, 2017) since Flint hasn’t had clean drinking water.

Sister Rosetta Tharpe was born in Cotton Plant, Arkansas in 1915. When she was six years old she joined her mom as a performer in a traveling evangelical troupe. Billed initially as a “singing and guitar playing miracle,” she would eventually take on a new title, “The Godmother of Rock and Roll.”

Disasters like the flooding that has followed Hurricane Harvey, displacing thousands of people, always create a tremendous need for help — and a tremendous desire to provide that help.

But those who have dealt with disasters before say people need to be careful about how they contribute to disaster relief, and when. Cash donations are almost always preferred over items — such as blankets, clothing and stuffed animals — often sent into overwhelmed disaster areas by well-meaning donors.

Nonprofit groups say in this case that they’re also preparing for an extremely long recovery, and that the needs almost certainly will change over time.

Your privilege allows you to lead a non-political existence.

Over the past two years, I’ve lived in six cities in two states — Arizona, New York — and the District of Columbia. And one of the first things I always notice about each new place is the street harassment.

Manhattan and Brooklyn were rough. During my first week of work in Manhattan, a tall man in a coat said “good morning, baby” to me as he masturbated. Calls of “hey baby” were almost as common as “good morning.” In Phoenix, I got harassed in my car during rush hour gridlock with honks, “heys” and sexually explicit gestures. And during my first month interning with NPR in Washington, D.C., I was honked at, leered at, “hey baby'ed” and, once, even followed to work.

I’m not alone. A 2014 survey commissioned by Stop Street Harassment, a nonprofit that works to document and end street harassment, showed that 65 percent of all women in the U.S. said they had experienced street harassment. In the 2,000-person nationally representative poll, 23 percent of U.S. women said they’d been touched and 20 percent had been followed. Among men, about a quarter surveyed said they had been harassed on the street.
