In regards to the joke about Jada’s hair, Ayanna Pressley is where I take my cue (Google search her response). My overall issue is with the public’s reaction vs how it’s reacting to, say, Ezra Miller (because of their two additional assaults this weekend). Miller choked and body slammed a woman, on camera, and went on…
It’s not a White vs Black thing, it’s a White “eccentric” actors routinely abuse their partners and get away with it, but a Black man open-hand single slapping can be equated to “killing” someone (Apatow on Smith). White women can slap and assault one another in a drunken rage and it’s played for laughs. A Black woman…
A questions that I have for the Whites in this audience (this is not acceptance of Smith slapping Chris Rock, these are honest questions about the public's reaction to assault at large):
Lol, I was just picturing a specific scene from Aquaman and it was playing like an SNL bit... no disrespect tho because I'm not trying to shame him. Â
I have to agree with Patrick Wilson and I have no idea why, lol.Â
You can't have so many assaults swept under the rug and still be considered a remotely decent person.
I’ve got to stop this “Pete Davidson is hot” nonsense... he’s a pothead Jimmy Fallon (including laughing in all of his sketches). I’m not calling him ugly- I’m pointing out that he’s not in the same stratosphere as Jason Mamoa.

That passion is necessary and will keep you going when you want to give in! I’m sorry that I came across as grandstanding- I hope you find some peace tonight. 💞
“I’m asking cis people to do more than lecture us about what WE’RE supposed to do to help ourselves. Step up, put yourself on the line, scream at your senators, and do more. You’re about to tell me you do that, because I’m psychic and can tell. Cool! Tell your friends. Make them do the same.” - This is literally what…
I’m not, and Julia Q isn’t, talking only about voting. I pointed out that voting is the only way to get politicians out, but we’re talking about ALL of the Rights: LGBTQIA, Abortion, and Voting. I’m afraid, seriously scared, by the resignation of the Left. We’re so freaking negative, so defeated, that we’re letting…
I think that, because we have only the experiences of this lifetime to draw upon, it’s difficult to recognize what those that came before us had to endure. Photos from the Suffragette movement are nearly identical to the Civil Rights movement, and Stonewall, and current BLM and Pride marches (especially in places…
Also, I do actually understand your point because I’m not saying to buck up- this shit is dangerous. We can’t overthrow the government but we can out-vote the bigots. Voting, not giving up, digging in with the same grit and determination you drew from, that gave you courage to come out and live your truth, it’s the…
“I saw so many people responding to trans folks in Texas by telling them they’re “obligated” to stay to vote blue to fix it.”
Lol, I live in Texas where Mexican Americans go hard for July 4th. You start getting down to 2nd and 3rd generations of immigrants who came from truly nationalistic, fascist governments and you would realize how sheltered your view is. Btw, my moms family fled Korea in the 60's, and her family was torn apart by the…
There are fewer today than yesterday, but if we give up then, like cockroaches, they’re going to come back in greater numbers tomorrow. I’m not a perfect ally, but I try and am raising my son to try as well (to the best of my and my husband, parents, and brother’s abilities). The Black community have been fighting for …
Patriotism gave courage to Union soldiers who took on the Confederacy; to Women who fought the patriarchy; to Black and Brown men and women who marched against institutionalized racism. It prevented Hitler from dominating Europe- patriotic Europeans and Russians took on the Third Reich.
It’s not about you, though- it’s about your fellow Americans. When the ERA failed to pass a few years ago I was feeling the same sense of dread and resignation. Then I remembered the women who fought and were brutalized (or killed), or are fighting now and facing the same brutality, and I refused to give in. For…
Blatant misogyny is bad in Asian movies and shows as well... that’s why I bow down to Man Wol. She takes no shit. 👏👏👏
