Well given that Congress/circumstances/Federalism won’t really let him do anything meaningful on all of those issues (except foreign policy, which he has been active in, but in ways I imagine you don’t like), its pretty cool that he is doing something meaningful (if symbolic) for trans/gender non-conforming people...

Hopefully the fact that she is now a Tony nominated playwright will help? Oh wait, probably not because she writes plays about black people and unless Lupita N’yongo is going to star in all of them, no one is ever going to produce them on Broadway... Also, no offense to her because Eclipsed was great, but she’s…

Not to diminish Ava Duvernay’s complete 100% awesomeness, but I think part of her success was due to her becoming a very public face of discrimination when Selma got snubbed for almost everything . I think a lot of people in Hollywood were like OK lets nip this in the bud by letting Ava in and then hopefully this will…

100% agree. Her screen personality and her food are basic AF, but she seems like an all-around decent gal.

Not to say things are great on that front either, but Hollywood is still less resistant to allowing male minorities to direct than they are to allowing women of any race to direct. Look at Ryan Coogler. There’s absolutely no way that a woman who directed a somber indie drama like Fruitvale Station, which was well…

Read this interview with Amy Heckerling, director of Clueless on Vulture. http://www.vulture.com/2016/05/amy-he… Here’s a relevant quote: “Twentieth Century Fox and Paramount both have no female directors on their rosters until 2018. What’s going on?

I think it might have something to do with how they are expected to post gushing posts about how awesome their cult is on their poorly designed website and they could get in trouble if they aren’t “good enough.” These kind of rants are probably what is considered “good” but the SSM overlords.

Agreed, I flagged it as harassment because that seemed the closest fit of the options available.

Because humans are social animals and its shockingly easy to use group dynamics to blind people to reality.

The movie itself was a bit of a hodgepodge and very much a first film from a very smart person who didn’t know how to edit. A lot of the problems of the film stemmed from the fact that it had to be a movie, with all the time constraints, plot arc demands, and need for inciting incidents that movies entail. Simien has…

I think they will roll over, for one thing, regardless of the Title VII violation, the law is so clearly unconstitutional it would never stand up in court. The way the law is designed is not only to prevent trans people from using whatever the fuck bathroom they want, but also to prevent any city/local government in…

There have been so many White Tears inducing moments over the last few weeks, I love it. #yumyumyum

“If I voted on Youtube videos, I’d downvote the shit out of it too.”

Anyone who is pretending the dislikes are just people don’t like the trailer as opposed to butthurt dudes who can’t handle the gender swap is straight up lying. It’s a shitty trailer sure, but more because its bland and inoffensive. Certainly not heinous enough to warrant people spending this much time and effort to…

Seriously. Why the hell hasn’t the Beyhive made a peep about Jay-Z’s complicity in all of this? I get that Bey sort of reconciled herself to him at the end of the album, but srsly.

Because the internet always loves to attack the women involved in shit.

Not to mention the tax dollars wasted defending it, which will almost definitely be taken from things like providing social services to the poor women who are most hurt by Oklahoma’s already egregious actions to limit access to reproductive healthcare.

Can they explain to me how the wasted dollars defending this obviously unconstitutional bill in the court system will “help the economy?” It’s so clearly unconstitutional that I doubt even the anti-choice legal groups would spend a dime helping them out on this.

Castro also has the benefit of not being a sitting Senator that we could lose to a Republican.

He would never accept it even if she offered it to him. Plus, he’s going to have a lot more influence once he returns to the Senate. Why would he give that up for a powerless VP position?
