🖕🏽is the only brown emoji I have. I tried pressing on them.

It’s like you’re IN my life. 😂

Middle aged happily married woman with a great husband, turns down a promotion, hits a wall in her life and instead of divorce and running away to find herself through cultural appropriation and a younger man, stays and figures out her next steps. She ends up becoming a screenwriter, writing about her life of hitting…

............nice to meet you, I’m gray...............

I don’t even have brown emojis. Is Android racist?

Precisely!

The most important takeaway here is that the New York Times so consistently refuses to hire people of color that they have not a single brown person who could provide commentary on this.

“On” or “with”? Because “on” sounds both dangerous and yet pretty fun.

This is why I always use the yellow skin default for emojis. I’m more comfortable just letting people assume my race is “Simpsons”

I’m working on a screenplay (more as a thinking exercise and creative outlet than any actual ambition to do a damn thing with it) and my actual notes are “whatever the fuck is the opposite of ‘Eat, Pray, Love.” Having read this article, I feel even more justified in those notes.

I don’t think the issue here is that the white guy is dispensing advice about when to use brown hand emojis. I think the issue here is that the white guy’s advice is fucking stupid and oblivious.

My issue with nearly all foundations for the pasty white are that the undertones are all either STRONGLY pink or yellow. NEUTRAL, some of us are Neutral!! And somewhat off topic, can we talk about how awesome the now-discontinued Stila CC cream was?

The more I learn about the actors in Mad Men, the more I’m convinced that everyone was pretty much just cast as an extreme version of themselves.

Don Draper is an alcoholic orphan pretending to be someone else; played by Jon Hamm, an alcoholic orphan who pretends to be other people. The role was perfect for him.

I’ve done stupid things while drinking but I have never tried to set someone on fire. Maybe I’m doing mischief wrong.

I’m glad you said this. This article made me so mad in several ways. First of all, the doctor refusing to do abortions... My god. Secondly, the fact that most of these women seem like they wouldn’t want one... but most importantly, when you’re looking at the case of the featured woman in this story, at 29 she was well…

and why in the world did he not do a tubal ligation on this girl when he did the C section??? did he not tell her that was something that could be done? then she wouldn’t have to be afraid of surgery (which is the reason she gave for not having one - which is ridiculous because a C section is surgery). Or why isn’t he…

They should be given free Norplant at 13 and after turning 25 can have it removed, pending a basic life skills test...

What about Annie Potts as Iona in Pretty in Pink? She wasn't a central character, but I loved her, and thought that the the mentor/mentee relationship between a sexy, independent, wild, nonconformist woman and a high school girl who is hugely conflicted about her own place in the world was really sweet. As someone…
