It took me for fucking EVER to figure this out. But I’m proud to say I figured it out without someone having to explain it to me, so... yay?

If there is anything that we can take away from Madame Morrison, it is this:

Non-consensual kissing is not okay. That fact that the ball wants to give him a little kiss doesn’t give it the right to do that. I think the batter’s body language demonstrated his reluctance clearly enough that the ball should have known it was unwelcome, even if he didn’t explicitly say “No”. Best to use a standard…

Racist or not, it's unconscionable for a US president to speak of one of his own cities in this way. It's despicable and unacceptable.

This is playing pretty poorly even in some conservative parts of Maryland. There’s definitely a “white racist terrified of Baltimore” demographic. But it’s not that large. Even in the mostly-white and more conservative areas a lot of people still go to Baltimore, if only certain parts.

I really wish Black people would embrace the fact that our “culture” is an outgrowth of our collective reactions to being enslaved, tortured, and oppressed and we are in no way beholden to cultural norms that we developed under that kind of systemic abuse.

I’m sorry to inform you that women who use tampons should be washing their hands before using the bathroom too. As a woman, I can tell you that I have NEVER seen a woman enter the restroom, wash her hands THEN go into a stall. Never! NEVER!!

No, Angela sweetheart, you’re Black. No other person, regardless of color or background, has any right to adjudge you any differently.

That picture of you with your dad makes me want to cry the happy tears.

I don’t think I get it from the article, but I wonder what the basis was for that conclusion. Because if it was the just about the way she spoke or her love of her white parents who raised and took care of her and her unwillingness to reject them, then she can fuck all the way off.

I, uhhhh... Just boo to that woman, as if shit isn’t hard enough for you...

“I came to hear you speak, and you have confirmed my worst fears. You aren’t a true black person.”

I’m curious enough about the worldbuilding to wonder how she’s the ONLY girl left alive. If the plague skipped children, what happened to all the other girl babies and children? Are we supposed to believe they were ALL raped to death?

I already know what it’s like to live in a world where only men are in control and they would rather live in the woods than do basic housekeeping. It’s called the reality of the last several hundred years.

I think it’s funny that the movie assumes that without women, utilities like electricity stop working and the men abandon their homes to go camp in the woods. Like, I know we are important and stuff, but I'm pretty sure that dudes can handle basic shit like keeping the lights on.

I also like the angle that’s pitched “if you look at Epstein, maybe you find out about Bill Clinton. Do you really want that?”

I’m reminded of a story in the book ‘Devil in the White City’, about notorious serial killer H.H. Holmes. He used to go hang out with the workers building his infamous murder hotel, and he’d casually joke about how funny it would be to drop a brick on the head of one of the men below ‘by accident’. And if the person…

TIL: black people were watching Big Little Lies.

This so much brings me back to my grandma’s funeral and my disgusting uncle Glen saying “OOO YOU BETTER WATCH THAT ONE” and pointed at me.
