Snapped the photo and posted it on his Facebook page, where it quickly went viral.

I loved Coco so much, when I was watching it I got all teary at the moment the little boy arrives to the underworld and all those pretty colours show, the tears never stopped, even when the credits rolled.

As a teacher who has been doing lockdown/shooter drills for the last six years of my career, I can confirm that it is absolutely protocol that once the door is shut, you don’t open it. Of course he should have watched and waited as long as he could to make sure all of his students were in, but it was probably complete…

I actually think you’re over-thinking it a bit. I used to work as an interpreter and went to a few casting events. There’s language that you hear repeated that intimates casters are looking for actors from a specific ethnic group for a part when the story doesn’t dictate that nor require it. It’s as simple as saying,…

... and ...

Shameful to think that in 8 full length feature films POC lines make only 6 minutes... and a large portion of the lines came from 2 CGI characters.

Not to mention how Lavender Brown magically became white when she started dating Ron.

Is this some kind of new Rick roll I haven’t heard of?

This is exactly the conversation I had with my eight year old:

I wholly support servers’ right to under-report their tips. They get treated like shit and paid like shit. Meanwhile, the 1% and every corporation in the country is evading left and right, but it’s the person who makes $3 an hour that everybody is getting all up in arms about.

The premise of “If I Did It” always sounded like me at age 5 when I fucked up something in the house.

Just when I was about to smile, you pull the rug out from upunder me. Only in America would these criminals with badges get to walk free.

As a kid I lived in the South Bronx but went to school in Van Cordlandt and Riverdale because my mom considered schools in those neighborhoods to be better than the ones in our district. This was during the 70's and 80's. I was constantly given shit for “talking white” in my block. I have siblings that went through…

Thanks Damon, I completely agree. There’s more than one way to be from the hood. There are different realities, most of them beautifully mundane. I think all of these tropes are lazy plot devices (and paint the “iconic ghetto” in film, tv, and even policy in ways that subscribe to notions of black pathology). These…

I have seen both sides of this and it’s a real problem. At two schools where white students were the majority, white parents controlled all the PTA functions and everything was worse for it. At two schools that were either evenly split or not majority white, many people were involved in all the PTA and school…

Good for her from the perspective of fighting colorism, especially given that Wakanda is meant to be an untouched, thoroughly sub-Saharan country. She would have been visibly out of place.

I urge you to try...if your spouse predeceases you or you suffer a divorce its not necessarily easy to build friendships (real ones) when you’re older :(

Oh man. Ignoring my first instinct to not pit powerful women against each other, I don’t think it’s fair to say that Wonder Women wouldn’t have a chance. Even if you go by the movie alone, we watch Diana train with the best when it comes to fighting. Her mother’s fear of Diana realizing who she truly is spurs her aunt…

The article maybe doesn’t do a great job of providing that context. If you really are interested, here’s a quick primer:

Are we supposed to know who Rick Butler is?
