This is mostly true. I’m a bit torn.

I watched a minute of it and it started to give me a headache. Ugh. 

And he gets this deeply earnest, concerned look on his face when he says it too, like my church-going Pentecostal aunty. I’m just like, Okay, Chancelor...

I’m not going to say that the show made me like Cardi B, but it gives insight into sort of how she calculates and thinks about making a career as a rap star, if that makes sense? Like, rap/hip-hop purists probably hate it, but she’s very savvy and has very clear ideas about what it takes to hit the big time in the rap…

Chance’s fallout was indeed perfect; I rewatched that whole scene several times, partly for the punchline, partly to giggle repeatedly at Chance’s reaction.

Any amount of Miley is too much for one day. 

Just a note that I don’t think Brandt Jean grew up or lives in the US. Remember that Botham Jean and his family are from Saint Lucia, where the context and black people’s experiences in terms of race and racism are different. That being said, I’ve seen plenty of Saint Lucians and other Caribbean people (including me) w…

5 developing countries? Including France? And Germany?

It’s so perplexing to me! It’s like nothing any famous woman does in the way of activism is ever good enough. The go-to approach seems to be to pick holes in whatever they’re doing, and then gleefully point out all the holes. (For some reason Cardi B is an exception to this rule. Everything she does seems to be…

If it would make you feel even slightly uncomfortable, then no, don’t share it. My Insta is @_theresenatalie, so if you want to dm me on Insta so I can follow your page, that would be cool. But only if you’re okay with that. 

Give us a link, please!

He’s been both a Costa Rican cartographer and a Japanese clothing designer, that’s impressive indeed! I wonder how he managed it; did he have to stop being Costa Rican in order to be Japanese or was he able to juggle both at the same time?

This was going to be almost my exact comment. Except for the (who?) because, mainly thanks to Jezebel, I know far more about James Charles that I need or want to.

I did some searching of my own (see my other post in this thread) and I’m pretty sure you’re right.  If only I’d had that information at my fingertips when my aunties were looking at my like an uncultured fool!

To be honest, I don’t see anything at that link that counters what Autokrat said. It’s about an almanac of noble families, and no-one is arguing that the Princes aren’t from a noble family/members of the aristocracy. The Wikipedia and dictionary definitions also clearly refer to everyday use of the word commoner (as…

Off topic, but around the time Prince William got married I remember telling my aunts and uncles (who were much more interested in the event than I was) that strictly speaking William was also a commoner, until the Queen awarded them his title of Earl or Duke or whatever he is. They looked at me like I was a…

I just read an article on the Guardian website about this news, and saw this:

My first impression of that costume is that it is very definitely designed to keep anybody from tiefing a wine or borrowing a wuk-up.

I read it as partly a self-deprecating joke about him not being particularly attractive and partly as a perhaps slightly sexist, but not altogether untrue, joke that it would be must easier for a female Dalai Lama to get people’s attention if she’s conventionally attractive, or at least more attractive than he is. I…

And can we stop it???? All this dying! In so many different places!
