I hate to belabor the point, but

there is something unfortunate in a race relations blogger at a gender-focused website like Jezebel who is unable to perform a very basic Google search on my obviously foreign-sounding name to correctly sort out her “he/him”s from her “she/her”s. Lord knows if a blogger mistook a girl for a guy on the basis of a difficult moniker, that writer would be dealing with no end of trolly feedback.

But said Google search, on Google Images no less, would find that the first result is my scowling mug, facial hair and all. At least take the four seconds to fact-check the blogger you’re going to try to eviscerate in the course of your overlong rant, people.

Although I’m sure we’ve all “been there” and “done that” etc.

PS. The ninth picture down on a Google Image search of my name is Tyra Banks wearing curlers. This is most excellent.
