I cannot let a story about Lupita Nyong'o go by without mentioning, once again, how utterly adorably and disarmingly beautiful she is.

damn,that excerpt blew my mind! black people have been selling things all along! i can't believe i didn't see that until now. what makes it extra embarassing is that i'm black myself and i fell for the message of black people not being marketable*.

That is an asymmetrical haircut.

Yes. She killed it:

Honestly, I don't go to the movies often because there aren't a lot of films that I'm interested enough in seeing that I'm willing to shell out the money for the ticket, plus a babysitter and all that jazz. I'd rather wait til films are on Netflix or <insert streaming service here>. I LOVE action movies, but I'm a…

I'm loving all of these challenges to the Hollywood establishment. I only just saw the article on Erika Alexander calling folks out on their racism and then there's the article yesterday on Leslye Headland and all the discussion around how Orange is the New Black got made and the success of female or POC-led movies. …

I only have eyes for Lupita!

They are stunning women but this pose is very stilted. I wish they would've came up with some interesting styling other than two ladies hugging at a beauty pageant.

:( Even in magazine covers you have to watch out for a white guy with a gun.

If you get the chance, you should definitely see it. It's very emotional and some parts are hard to watch but it's a beautiful film all the way through and a very important story.

Dear Photographers (or, Photoshoppers!), take note. This is how you light people so neither person looks washed out.

Well sure, white people can't own slaves anymore, but when a guy can shoot and kill a black teenager for looking a little scary and get away with it, and a fireman can refuse CPR on a dying old lady just because she's black, I don't think things "used to be way worse" just because black people can sit wherever they…

"I am the victim because I made a mistake."

Poor, poor Sewell. This is precisely what life must feel like to him right now.

Move over, Affluenza, "I am the victim because I made a mistake" will be our newest batshit crazy legal defense.

So sharing the results of research suggesting that loneliness is generally bad for health isn't "loneliness-shaming". But sharing the results of research showing that obesity is generally bad for health is "fat-shaming".

I don't know about that. Some people with truly awful personalities somehow manage to have lots of friends.

Constantly being around people stresses me out. My blood pressure even spikes. I get exhausted. I need A LOT of alone time. At the end of it, I have an easier time coping with the feeling of loneliness when it arises than with the stress of too much company feeling. My point is that both extremes can take a toll on…

Once you accept that you're Forever Alone it's not so bad.

First of all, to tie what appears to be a completely unrelated issue to obesity strikes me as total clickbait. Second, I don't think you want to draw this parallel do you? Most people would apparently view loneliness as an undesirable state, pity lonely people and would recommend that people cure it by taking steps to…
