We DO have the right to know who’s shelling out a 100K each to get access to the president. Especially since his whole campaign was about taking on the elites and being the voice of the voiceless.

I am sharing this to find the last few remaining Problematic White Dudes on my social media. Then blocking them when they inevitably argue about it. I am a female comic, and I am tired as fuck about trying to explain why I did not enjoy this performance.

Having the wrong people laugh at his comedy for the wrong reasons is a perpetual problem for Chappelle, but this time the blame is on him.

So sorry, I wouldn’t have posted my comment saying exactly that if I’d paid attention and seen yours - shame on me.

Ballet is an elite sport. I will never again in my life be as fit as I was when I did it (although I am considering taking up lazy classes for adults because leaping in the air is really fun). Anyone who mocks it has zero understanding of the strength it requires and the discipline it instills in other parts of your…

I felt the same but I’ve read a couple articles with Louie Anderson and his approach to the role and he won me over enough to watch a couple episodes and he is phenomenal in it and is the heart of the show. Maybe I’d be more upset if older white woman haven’t shoved their privileges in my face lately and in our…

When you don’t have anything else substantive to say...

So you’re saying he’s a Contact hitter

The clip is only 57 seconds long, but the ball’s recording device recorded 18 hours of static while it was in right field.

not at the whims of people that speak another language

I take back my other clap emoji comment, and move it to this one. I cannot begin to tell you how much I hate the term “Hispanic” because it basically means, “ethnically from a place that was once fucked hard by Spain”. Like, that’s not something I’m exactly proud of, lol. I frankly do think that it has something to do…

This implies a gender binary, however. What would you like a non-binary latinx person to identify as? Also, to take a step back, why does it matter to you. No one is stopping you from calling yourself Latino, so why should you stop me from calling myself Latinx?

Hi, I’m Latinx. I identify as Latinx (pronounced Latin-ex, tho I will often say La-tinx, because I’m a 12 year old at heart). I do activism work in SF. Plenty of us here identify as Latinx. It’s a new term, I get that, so no biggie if you’re a bigger fan of “Latino/a”. For a time we even tried out “Latin@”, but the…

Yeah, I get bent out of shape when this particular topic comes up, because it’s usually not Spanish-speakers who want to tell me how I can and can’t use my language.

Good for you. The rest of the world, including people who speak Spanish, know the word latino is gendered as male, the word latina is gendered as female, and that latin in Spanish is very rarely ever used to refer to us as a people. There’s also a wide, wide variety of “people that speak Spanish,” who don’t identify…

Latino is masculine, not neuter, and some Hispanic people do use Latinx.

I’m Latinx and I identify as such as do dozens of people I know. :)

It’s a recent term. I’ve encountered it among intersectional scholars and activists from Hispanic backgrounds who wanted an alternative to gendered Latino/Latina language.

To the commentators

Since we’re all missing the point I’ll jump in. If the Latinx person wants to use the term Latinx, why does anyone (especially anyone not Latinx) care? I’m sure you have better things to do than scream impotently into the void that your opinion matters. You don’t see me asking you to not embody the…

When I was hired as a sales rep for a craft beer wholesaler and beverage importer. I was told to grow a beard and buy some plaid shirts. They want you to be instantly recognizable and credible as a "craft beer guy". And that beard and flannel association is strong.
