The best thing about this movie is how authentically Black it is and how authentically Black in the 80s it is. The child actors are amazing and I am the first one to hate children acting and belting out big tunes.

I’m super surprised something like skiing is allowed by a production company that’s in the middle of its schedule. Usually, risky sports and behaviors aren’t covered in the insurance plan.

I didn’t ask about your racial/ethnic identity; I only gave mine. I also didn’t assume a thing about you or accuse you of being one of the people who think the state can act on us however it chooses, so I’m unclear why the need for your racial resume.

Oh, it was clear from your first response to me that you’re the kind of person who thinks what he quickly writes on the internet is well-communicated. Clarifying is what we often have to do in an age when non-verbal communication is missing. There’s no need to get butt-hurt about it.

I re-read.

I don’t want to assume you don’t have children or any elderly relatives under your care. However, I can’t imagine you actually would be okay with someone performing surgery on someone who is under your care as guardian. Every single document involving my son needs my signature. Pretty soon, it’ll be the same for my…

I’ve seen a few people here and there talk about a protest the day before his State of the Union Address (I can’t believe I’m even writing that) and on Tax Day. He’ll have his undies in such a knot before the SoTU, he’ll probably cry in Congress.

Well said.

Hey now, don’t diss Los Angeles. I’m mad proud of my hometown and, simultaneously, think this post was wack. Not only was she inaccurate about Ana Navarro’s vote, she dissed people for being chill. That’s wack. I said, in another reply, I really think the eye roll at people taking pictures of other people’s signs is…

Thank you. First thing I thought.

So agree with you. I commented about her dissing people for taking photos with others’ signs. I don’t get why that’s something worth and eye roll.

As a proud Black feminist, I’m glad to know that there’s a discussion of intersectionality/lack there of going on in spaces like Jezebel and the mainstream press. I, personally, was in a sister city march that was surprisingly intersectional and, turns out, very intentionally so. My experiences Saturday were different…

You should’ve led with “talk to organizers.” That’s the discourse that many of us want in the first place.

My aunt’s been saying this about the GOP for three years.

Wow that was full of typos. I’m embarrassed.

That is the best response ever. Who can be sure what he’d say. I’d never want to air where he’s speaking live in my classroom. I love the conservative values part. The pearl-clutchers can’t deny he could say something vulgar.

I hear you. We hope the FBI does at least half of what Lenny Briscoe did in a homicide. Then we find out law enforcement and the judicial system do the most cursory shit ever.

This was the first thing I thought when I heard the news this evening. Same here - overeducated, intersectional radical feminist and now DV survivor.

And let’s add that companies were letting people put that kid Terio on their Capital One cards a few years back. I see what images of us companies like to have

I don’t see anything infantile about that hat.
