“One woman? Check! One person of colour? Check! We are killing this whole diversity thing, guys!” - every room of white guys making anything ever.

I have a clock that fell off the wall and now it doesn’t tell time and I like to claim it’s a piece of art examining the nature of time.

oh oops i am gay now

I didn’t know who Norm MacDonald was and got confused with Norm Kelly, a Toronto politician who is sometimes funny on Twitter, and was very confused about his Netflix special and shitty opinions. In hindsight it should have been the other Norm that got the special.

I’d be interested in seeing these numbers broken down by time on screen. It’s great that speaking roles for Black and Asian actors are in line with population, but how often are they getting 1-2 lines, while the white leads never shut up?

I moved from NZ to Canada almost 7 years ago and I still get confused every time someone says anything about “eating kiwi”.... they’re endangered you can’t eat them oh you meant the fruit well why didn’t you say so

My 65 year old father is married to a 25 year old. Before this he always dated relatively age appropriate (e.g. he was 60 dating a 45 year old) but honestly I think he found women his age too opinionated and demanding. He doesn’t want a partnership, he wants someone who listens to him, defers to him, looks up…

Right? I’m a women in my early thirties and now I look at men under about 28 and think they look like babies! Sometimes very cute, objectively good looking babies, but never someone that I want to make out with.

Last time I caught it, it involved two white men using a black woman as a literal prop, including a LOT of sexual jokes. :| 

This deserves so many stars, but there are probably not enough Canadians here to recognize the truth in this statement.

I knew her from Green Wing and was like “oh that frumpy mumsy actress” and then saw her in something else and was like “Wait... who.... how...?” Love her so much.

There have been plenty of examples of black celebrities wearing traditionally black hairstyles (dreads, cornrows, afro etc.) and being criticized for it because those styles aren’t considered glamorous or sophisticated thanks to white beauty standards. So a white person wears them and it’s edgy/cool, but a black…

To be clear, no one thinks that you are appropriating black culture if you are playing Motown songs at home on your guitar. This is a strawman argument that overlooks the actual issue of appropriation.

Going to assume this is advice for other people who might need it, since my physiotherapist and I are doing fine figuring out the right adjustments for my workouts :)

I’m late to this challenge but I’m excited! I love squats! I badly sprained my ankle a couple months ago so back squats have been strictly verbotten until recently and my range is still a bit reduced. I’m going to do air squats and build up to doing 100 at full range by the end of the month.

I’m not envious of your Kinja alerts right now :| But thanks for taking one for the team and calling this guy on their bullshit!

We need to highlight all of these because we want white people to think twice before calling the cops on black people.

With our powers combined...

I’m seeing her in THREE WEEKS!!!!! So. Excited. 

I think this is something we need to let go of. Most people know that Frankenstein was the doctor. Frankenstein outside the context of the book has a specific pop culture meaning (something scary cobbled together from parts) and no amount of “But the doctor... !” is going to change it.
