My mom still sometimes refers to my teen years as “the Dark Ages.” :|
I’ve lived a chunk of my life overseas and speak a few languages–the shit that people will say when they don’t realize there’s an American present... But it’s worse when they say it to your face as a “compliment.”
Omg, that’s perfect! You can’t plan something like that, but if only we could all have it. Rings for everyone!
Or maybe, SHE SACRIFICED STANNIS.
I’m betting that Jon’s resurrection is also why they cut Lady Stoneheart even though it caused so much fan outrage–two undead Starks when the list of characters just keeps getting smaller is probably one too many. Also, from a storytelling perspective, removing the stakes of death too often completely undercuts its…
Yeah, I’m actually queer/heteroromantic (seriously, you should have heard me ranting the other night about the changes OITNB made to Piper’s story), but she does not ping my queerdar, she pings the gaydar.
Goddamn it. I was looking around to see if that had happened again. Look what you did, Victoria!
My mom’s half Swedish and should I ever do a wedding thing, I want to poach the Swedish model. I love the symbolism of it. I already told my dad years ago that he wouldn’t be walking me down the aisle unless my mom comes, too. I’m more ok with that American variant.
The Runaways movie was the only thing I’ve seen her in where she actually had any affect on screen. It was like the cinematic equivalent of this:
Bless the Swedes, they’re so egalitarian that it’s traditional for the couple to be married to walk into the chapel together as equals. The nation threw a collective shit fit when Princess Victoria chose to be walked down the aisle by her father.
Same experience, same time period, only it was Yellowstone and the only tape we had was a freebie of “Cruisin’ Classics” from some chain gas station, back when they still did that sort of thing. 25 years later, still not ready to hear “Blueberry Hill” again.
I didn’t see this and I DID post the same thing! Jezebel hive mind.
GOOD. I’ll believe this, though, when they shut down the Ghost in the Shell movie starring Scarlett Johanssen as the major.
I dunno, when you read the details, a lot of these cases are pretty similar–some combination of personal gain (which Dolezal definitely had) and cultural fetishization.
I am unable to even with the people who have been commenting on this on Twitter, seemingly in earnest, that they are hashtag WrongSkin. Wtfffffffffff. The impulse of some white people to marginalize themselves because they’re worried that they’re too bland and boring is the worst kind of post-colonial…
That Angela Davis do she’s passing off as her “natural hair” has got to be a wig or weave, right? I don’t think there are enough chemicals in the world to do that to her wimpy fine blond hair without frying it out of existence.
Yeah, I mean, her interviews about her background have the distinct reek of compulsive liar. It’s also pretty clear that she equates being a person of color with a life of near-constant struggle, to the point of hate-criming herself.
There’s a whole sad history of white and other non-native actors and plastic shaman types passing as native (see Iron Eyes Cody, the infamous “crying indian”). There were also non-black musicians in largely black scenes like jazz remaking themselves as black (Herb Jeffries, Johnny Otis), well as black musicians and…
Oh, well played. Because I’ve never watched the show (thank god) I didn’t catch on until the “multiple scenes of graphic butt eating.”
