Are Guar and Xanthan Gum Bad?

The Big Brains tell us that Guar and Xanthan Gum have some benefits if consumed in moderation (less than 15 grams per day). The trouble is these additives are found in most processed foods the average American consumes: coconut milk, ice cream, baked goods, toothpaste, yogurt, supplements, lotion, etc. Yes…

Honey, You Taste Like Honeydew

A conversation about vaginal health — Cardi B. and Megan Thee Stallion made wet-ass pussies (W.A.P.s) all the rage last year, which dampened some conservative flames and started conversations about how wet is too wet. I’m bringing pussies back in the spotlight to discuss vaginal health. First, let’s travel back five years. It’s February 26, 2016…

29-Year-Old Up For Adoption

I tried to get adopted this morning. Showed up to the office. You know: the one at City Hall with the bougainvillea climbing up the cream wall. The lady with long fingernails and slapping gum told me I was much older than I look. “I’m sorry, mam. That’s not how…

Rain

where do spiders rest when it rains. south florida droplets the size of pounding shoes. where do ladybugs bury their stilettos. sharp as my mother’s words, before forgiveness. and, yes, ladybugs wear stilettos. neighborhood cats, dappered in black and white tuxedos. what happens to my stretch of wild when the rock starts to shake, and it all becomes chaos, like in the beginning…
