Exactly.  A bulk of the current conservative base leans on racial fearmongering - there’s a reason why Rafael Edward Cruz goes by “Ted” as a political move. It’s not just about saying the right things, it’s about looking “approachable” aka “one of them” to a lot of folks in that base. 

You got them mixed up. Jeannette McCurdy was a child star on the Nickelodeon teen hit - ICarly, she recently published a biography of her time as a childstar detailing her complicated family relationship with her mom, child stardom and life-long eating disorder. The person you are thinking of on MTV and autism-vaccine…

I think for a lot of fans -there’s also racial element here that makes this sadder / harder to swallow. I was a 1D fan and as a POC woman, Zayn was definitely the one member I was the most attached to and defensive of, especially in the face of how magazines covered him vs the other members (magazines wondering if he…

I mean...it’s embarrassing if you’re making that mistake and this party is secretly a mixer for a job interview. If I made that mistake at a regular party with friends I’d laugh it off and laugh at my taste level. If I was trying to get a job at a business that makes cocktail mixes I would be super embarrassed that I…

I’m actually super surprised this man has been allowed to sell “fan” merch without a cease and desist - particularly the items that directly reference a logo or a brand character.

Also maybe some of these people don’t comprehend that people can enjoy reading but not be as attached to keeping a physical copy / want to save money? I loved reading as a kid but I was raised in a family where you bought like 1 book a year for a present but you went to the library every week and you read your…

I just wanted to say - if you are privileged enough to have a child right now you might also have a rare chance to be a bigger part of your child’s formative years right now. No kiddos for me but several of my co-workers have had children or had children around the 1-year old age mark during the beginning of the…

She just posted to her stories - she’s re-recording everything. 

To quote a RHOP housewife...word on the street is that Mary (with her congregation donated funds) fucked off a few years ago to get “treatment”. Mary comes back looking very different and while she might have been legitimately treated for an illness, she also gets a ton of work done while she is away including…

Not that I would ever be on this show but I could never be Tayshia. Look, out of this bunch of men at least 50% are probably there for fame or whatever...but 100% of those men signed up because they thought they could find love or atleast get some screentime with Clare. Literally on the first episode everyone is…

Too real. Was chatting with a friend earlier and talking about how I never really fucked with the sexual “daddy” vibes...but now i’m getting old and seeing random dudes act like competent, thoughtful fathers really gets me going lol.

Yes to all of this fucking above! As a fellow asian woman who has immigrated to a place that yes...is a fairly unwelcoming right now (thanks Trump!)...it is imperative to me that I become a citizen as soon as I can because a) even as a legal permanent green card holder I feel insecure in this climate but also b) I’ve…

Don’t you think in perspective you actually have someone to vote for now who was more progressive than Obama?  Biden was definitely the “conservative” factor for the Obama run but things have changed and now that Biden is our democratic candidate, his platform is now far more left than Obama’s was in many ways.  Is…

Lol these movies are trash but I love them so I’ll happily go see the third. For the record, I’d think that the third movie would be a “pre-pre-quel” since 2 went back to the Mom, it only makes sense that 3 would go back to Cher ala Grandma. 

Yeah - that’s the textbook definition of a caucasian person.  I just think that in America what flies as “white” vs “non-white” is less geographically based and more about phenotypical features.  Persians are caucasians by location - but whether they identify / are viewed as white / non white is basically down to…

In *America if you’re a POC vs Caucasian or not really depends on how dark your skin, your hair is and what your hair texture looks like (this is very different from other parts of the world where “middle eastern” is considered a sub-group like “asian”). If you’re a fair skinned with wavy / straight hair you most…

Honestly like all celebrities, she probably has a colorist come to her house privately and just doesn’t talk about it. That said I feel that darker hair tends to go gray less quickly than lighter colors. My asian mum is in her 60s, she has yet to have to dye her hair. She’s had solo white hairs since her 30s but…

I think it’s because both of Liam and Louis’s situations are...kind of awkward? Louis knocked up a stylist who he clearly wasn’t seriously dating. Liam got together with Cheryl Cole who met him as teenage while a guest judge on the X-factor....it’s not illegal but it’s definitely a little bit of a side eye. I would…

I’m willing to give a pass on cultural misunderstanding - to be a student of fashion, you need to have relative talent and a lot of money if you’re not on scholarship. None of those two things include being especially culturally sensitive or having a nuanced understanding of the country you paid to immigrate to. What…

...not white but I do work in corporate america but we actually have work “potluck” breakfasts as celebrations. Like, we bring in a bunch of different cereal, someone usually brings a slow cooker with eggs and shit, someone else brings crossaints/bagels/donuts and a bunch of pre cut fruit + fruit juices / sparkling…
