If she is indeed biracial, she sure identifies as Black, according to her. Which makes sense, because look at her. I don’t think people are overlooking her white mother. It’s just not so relevant here. People aren’t generally like, hey, this obviously Black person now gets a pass because I just met her white mother.…

Not racially ambiguous. Not dark, for sure, but no one who has ever seen Black people before wouldn’t know that she is Black.

You’d be surprised. I was once lectured “lovingly” by a Ballet coach (she was trying to manage my expectations and describe that I’d never seriously be able to make a career out of dance) that the appropriate body type for a dancer is no more than an A cup, the slightest curvature of hip is allowed (although it’s…

I feel like I’m only writing posts about how much I love people this week but... I love Misty Copeland so much! ^_^ She’s such a personal hero of mine. I’m a Black ex-ballet dancer. I have the wrong body type and the wrong skin color for classical forms of dance. I struggled with a dance induced eating disorder trying…

Ballet documentaries are everything.

If the photo was retouched to make her look different to how she actually looks then that’s not the same thing. Embracing your flaws and being confident and happy in your skin is not the same as having a photo out there that gives you flaws that you don’t actually have. Wrinkles and stretch marks are fine but…

Let’s celebrate!

#NineLivesMatter I will see myself out now.

I thought about it for a minute and decided it could have been worse — she could be boning Franzen (booooooooo). But then my brain took it to its logical , shitty wunderkind conclusion and thought, well she could have broken up Chabon’s marriage, which would have resulted in so, so, so many obnoxious think pieces from…

Now, I feel obligated to mention Michaela DePrince who I’m also obsessed with.

If your intention isn’t to mock anyone, I would encourage you to examine the tone of your first comments because intended or not, that’s how it seems you were perceived by many. You had to read a lot into a very simple comment to find those ‘unethical’ beliefs. Whether you meant to or not, it was not unforeseeable…

No, now is a better time. You realize the civil rights movement of the 1960’s was organized and led almost entirely by Black churches, right? When you mock something like this young woman quoting the bible after being arrested doing something brave, because it's not ideologically pure enough for your do-nothing self,…

I'm totes atheist but when he co-pilots this kind of stuff, then I'm down with Jesus.

Can we also talk about that smile in the pictures? It’s everything I tell you!

all you ever need to know about 50 shades (booky wook/cartoon/deeds/dirt) is anthony lane’s priceless review in the new yorker. “ ‘You want to leave? Your body tells me something different.’ Pass the butt plug.” http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/…

It’s kind of like when someone is like “Just make sure you remember ONE THING....” and then something happens and they have to go and you’re all “hey what was that one thing? It sounded important!” and they’re “oh that...eh, nothing. Just give me a minute and I’ll ———ackkkk (dead).”

1. I knew Shireen was going to die as soon as Davos handed her that elk. Guarantee he comes back and finds it on the funeral pyre, and that’s how he knows what Stannis did.

Screw it, I’ll side with Sir Stewart on that: it’s a matter of freedom of speech. In fact, as a Law Student, a Judiciary System worker and a legalist, while I can’t say about the specific laws regarding this in Ireland, my view is that it would be discrimination if the baker refused to make any cake (refuse to serve)…

As a native Kentuckian (who once even spent a year working with George Clooney’s sister), let me politely invite you to go fuck yourself.
