'Stuey, What's Good?' on that pesky Aunt Betty and ignorant family members

​So my Aunt Betty thinks my hair color is too “interesting” and she wants me to recolor it. I tried explaining that I dyed it to match her “interesting” personality but it didn’t go over very well. Stuey, what’s good?

Dear “Interesting,"
I don’t know what your hair color is, but I bet it slays, so just keep on doing you. As for Aunt Betty, I’m sure once you mention your CIA boyfriend, she will completely ignore your hair and focus on her surprise that you actually got a boyfriend. So congrats on that. And the job. And the arranged marriage to the billionaire (have you told your boyfriend about that yet?).

My family is being very unsupportive of the Syrian refugees seeking shelter in America. The most unfortunate part is that they aren’t even correct in the things they post on social media. They are uneducated but too ignorant to listen to any actual facts. I am also very disappointed in their heartlessness. Stuey, what’s good?

Dear TMHHF,
I am so sorry that your family is refusing to listen to the facts. I understand how difficult that can be to see and listen to when you know it’s wrong. It is (unfortunately) probably not worth it to correct them without creating a civil war within your family. My best suggestion is to mute them so you don’t see what they post. Just keeping being aware of the world. I believe in you.
