There are a lot of Chadwick Boseman fans. I know because I admin a fan page for him. Not as big as Cumberbatch, but then again there are a lot more white women going gaga over their own men. :)

You know who would be a good Thurgood Marshall? Jeffrey Wright. He’s got gravitas, chops, and he’s recognizable too. Hell, they could even try Nate Parker if they wanted someone younger.

Pretending that you have any idea what you’d do in this situation is like claiming you know exactly what you’d grab if your house was on fire. You don’t, and you never will until it happens to you. You can know who you want to be in this situation but that’s not always how reality is going to play out. You were not…

We need to get buttons made.

I agree that American Privilige is objectively awful but I think he’s still has the nut guard grace period for his absolutely bomb-ass first album. I’ve seen him live 4 times and dude’s got them pipes.
His cover of Is This Love is on my “let’s drink wine and fuck” playlist and he turned Somebody That I Used To Know…

That’s awesome. I’m glad you had a father that wanted as much for you as his sons :)

I do have an issue with the idea that “strong women” means “women who aren’t meek and/or adopt traditionally male characteristics” and that they are more worthy of equality. I find this sentiment everywhere, but it is especially rabid…

The persistent habit of blocking out the structural conditions that make our lives suck in order to focus on individual choices as if these choices occur in a vacuum. (E.g. energy devoted to judging other parents who make different personal choices re staying at home with babies vs sending them to daycare rather than…

Some thoughts, hopefully relevant. Although I grew up in a very conservative household, my father, who like everyone, has flaws galore, taught my brothers and I in his own way thAt every human being deserved respect and dignity, and this included, especially women. For such a conservative republican voting war veteran…

It’s easy to say religion as already stated but I think that only is half the problem. The other half? Money. Making it and keeping it.

I wonder when and where he was radicalized?

Just over two years ago one of my best friends died two days post childbirth. According to her doctor there was complications. Her pregnancy was very difficult and they had to induce her almost nine weeks early. We were all worried about her during labor but she seemed okay. I was there at the hospital, I got to see…

On a side note, this is exactly why abortion needs to be legal. Women used to die from child birth all the time and people are forgetting that. It’s a major medical event. I hate when people make flippant remarks about “why can’t the woman just stick it out for nine months and let the baby be born?” Because its not…

This story has never been said aloud or written.

I grew up in a family of 10, with 18 aunts and uncles. My family, not real big on condoms, OR abstinence (after marriage, of course). My husband was given almost no info, but was told pretty much that all women were just sitting around waiting to accuse him of rape because he smiled at them, OR were just waiting for…
