Dear Scarlet, 
About a month ago you asked if you could have a “circle mohawk” again. I told you to think about it because you’ve been growing your hair out for so long and I didn’t want you to regret it. On Sunday night I told you I had a hair appointment with Allison the next day. You asked if you could get your hair cut like that again, but you were laying down for bed and not supposed to be talking so I ignored you. The next day you asked twice, so I finally said I didn’t care and that you look beautiful whatever you decide. The last time your hair was like this you weren’t in school yet, I was so nervous about kids being cruel. I walked you to school on Tuesday morning and stayed awhile to make sure everything was going to go smoothly, which it did. When I picked you up you said, “Olivia liked my hair. She said she didn’t want her hair like this, but she liked mine like this. And we’re still friends. That’ just like how I don’t want to have purple hair like Allison, but I love Allison’s purple hair. You don’t have to have all the same stuff as your friends.” Wise beyond your years, baby child. I’m so proud of you and how you have the courage to be exactly who you want to be, despite any other outside influences. While we’re on the topic of gender, when I was at parent teacher conferences a few months ago a mom of this little boy approached me. She told me how he wanted to paint his nails and go to school. She let him. When he came home he said, “Scarlet loved my nails, Mom!” I’ve never been so proud.

Gordon Ramsay doesn’t care about your gender, race, or creed. All he cares about is that you can cook.

The contestant, Christine, is blind, and he lets her know exactly what he thinks of her dish.

gordon ramsay is not allowed to make me cry from not-laughter or not-insults

SPICY, WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS.

DID IT RAIN ON YOUR FACE

this is a perfect example of treating someone with a disability LIKE A PERSON

look y’all gone have enough of making me cry with no warning cuz of stuff on my dash

I remember watching an episode of Kitchen Nightmares where this Black woman ran a Jamaican restaurant. It came out that this woman had a lot on her plate that she felt she had to deal with all by herself. There was a lot riding on the success of the restaurant, and she didn’t have a support system. What surprised me was how he did not force her into this Strong Black Woman role. He made it clear that she needed people around her who could truly help her with the burdens she had instead of adding to them. It was obvious from that episode was that what she needed was someone who could show her the real potential of her restaurant and how to maintain that.

But I also love how he has no fucks to give for silver spoon motherfuckers who just opened a restaurant because they thought it would be cool and fun then proceed to act like nobody needs to know anything about food or business to have a successful restaurant.

Besides this now, my favorite Gordon Ramsey has heart moments was on Hell’s Kitchen, where the Lady who cooked at Waffle House, although she was eliminated, he was so impressed with her, he decided to help pay for formal cooking lessons for her. Because he was like, “You’re in here out cooking all these so called chefs, all you need is more training.”

I love it, they were trying to shit on this black woman because LOL ONLY WAFFLE HOUSE

Gordon Ramsey be knowing

The best best thing I like about Gordon Ramsey is that he’s CHANGED his stance on people over the years. When he first started his TV show he openly stated he thought women were not and could not be chefs. But he never let that bias stand in the way of fairly judging the food itself. First season of Hell’s Kitchen I remember a scene where he said he was surprised it was two women who made it to the finals, and that by far the women’s team was continuly out performing the men’s. After that season I think he ate his words of believing women couldn’t be chefs because for the next 5 season’s women beat out the competition and won.

I love the fact he’s telling her to listen to the knife and how it’s supposed to sound. He’s giving her critique based on her better senses instead of going on as usual and it makes me teary with happy )’8

Angelina Jolie had a double mastectomy, in case you hadn’t heard. How dare she remove those ticking time bombs from her chest, amiright? Like, hasn’t she learned by now that her body is public domain and we all get to vote on what she does with it? Sheesh, how selfish can ya get.
