Tweeting a statement isn’t an end all and be all, but Kim tweeting Black Lives Matter—a sentiment that is largely becoming more controversial that many take issue with—speaks volumes over Taylor’s silence when she has a platform and a lot of influence. She is the darling of the heartland and will make no statement…

It’s called a video selfie. And chill out. I had this attitude and my sister straight schooled me. Life is indeed more fun when spend less time judging the crap out of other women for petty-ass shit.

This is practically the exact same answer that my program chair gave in a discussion about why our department is so lily white is makes my head hurt. He basically shrugged and said “We can’t help it if our applicants [to the grad program] are mostly white.” To which I replied (in my head) bullshit, while saying out…

Because the peaceful, nonviolent sit-ins from the Civil Rights movement were so persuasive that the South didn’t need the federal government to intervene and enforce integration and the 14th amendment? And the police were so inclined to respect that politeness that they weren’t compelled to turn on fire hoses and…

She was 23

My favorite athlete in any sport ever, retired today. I cried my goddamn eyes out. I love you Timmy. Thank you.

I can say that $54 is more than $35 because when you add the two numbers together 9>8.

If you believe the two situations are interchangeable, then you don’t understand the importance of increased representation for people of colour (POC) in media with roles that are not ridiculous caricatures of actual POC. When is the last time an Asian actor was the lead in a movie?

I love how “international” means “white lead”

The redemption of Matthew Knowles and Jay Z, at least in the narrative of Lemonade, reminds me of the end of The Color Purple. Only once Shug, Nettie, and Celie start getting the respect they deserve from the men who have harmed or betrayed them, are they welcomed back into their lives as a large, chosen, family. So…

I started a fan site when I was 19 and I still run it today at age 24. I completed 18 classes online and it was then and still is, a release that works for me. I’m a sw student now and it’s part of my self-care. People might laugh, but I learned about research, about web design and about how annoying it is when other…

Maybe the producers got the magazine idea from UnReal

I first heard of this story from The Read and so this is the first time I’ve seen the picture....jesus. That poor girl.

Can you imagine if the founding fathers had twitter? Adams would have a meltdown every other week. Jefferson would quit every other week with like “I just want to focus on what’s really important. All love, y’all, but I’m tired of it all” and then come back two days later as though nothing had happened. All of…

it’s really annoying seeing white women on twitter chastise this hashtag, considering ww vote democrat nationally at a rate of 52% compared to bw’s 95%. like bw might complain about her through this hashtag, but they’re the ones that are *actually* going to show up.

This is the hashtag I’ve needed. It’s strange, though; you admit you’re voting for a person, however begrudgingly, and that’s just not enough for the truly devoted. Somehow, because I wasn’t sobbing tears of joy last night, and shouting YAS QUEEN (please, white women, stop) I “didn’t understand.” I’ve seen more nuance…

#ImWithHerAgainstMyWillBecauseThereAreNoOtherViableOptions

Whenever a black person or black people come into a predominantly white sport and do better than everyone the answer is usually to marginalize them as much as possible in their everyday life and as their employer. Whether it’s “Well, you can play football, but never quarterback - you’re not smart enough for that”…

kim’s snapchat has made me think kanye is actually a pretty happy guy (which surprised me) he’s always smiling and laughing while she films him

I think Demi just got too old for him.
