Welp there goes one of Amy’s “Black friends.”

I genuinely worry that my students are going to think this is cool and I don’t know how to explain to them that it’s not and it’s actually piss-poor egotistical decision-making.

I suggest you read this https://www.stevebozzone.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Elements-of-White-Middle-Class-Dominant-Culture.pdf and think about why you believe the trademarking is the most important aspect of this story, rather than what’s actually happening.

You mean a band of white folks with Grammys and a lot of money legally bullying a Black woman into changing her performance moniker ISN’T racial justice?

My bra and I only speak to each other on the rare occasion that I venture outside.

GOD BLESS I HAVE GOTTEN BACK INTO MY ACCOUNT.

Piece of shit? Really? Based on what? Some dumb fuck thing he did when he was in his early 20s?

That’s weirder to think about when you remember that she has a male twin.

“Asking an actor to play a black person simply because they’re black in real life is insulting.”

I’m torn. It is VITAL that the narrative around abortion be one of healthcare. Abortion is a medical procedure, it is a necessary component of healthcare no different from vaccines or medication.

I suffered the same crisis this spring and bought four dresses (which includes one I bought for my graduation from grad school). I also really craved a white dress, so I bought a maxi one that I have yet to wear. Dark colors are my comfort zone and so I’ve worn my black maxi but I’m afraid of the white one, even…

I am concerned and confused by the number of women in the comments who love polka dot so much??? Since when? I have never owned or wanted to own a polka dotted thing in my life. Why and how is it a fashion staple? It’s terrible and only appropriate on elderly women and babies.

But she is responsible for taking those roles. It is her decision. She could turn them down, and she doesn’t. You notice how she has NOT been one of the A-list female actors who has made commitments to making sure the roles she takes come with commitments from studios about inclusion and diversity both in front of and…

Do you not pay attention? The few roles open to trans actors are playing trans characters. It’s not okay for cisgender actors to be taking the FEW roles that are actually available to trans actors. Scarlett Johansson can get basically any fucking role she wants. She does not need to take roles about trans folks when…

Stanford. Cal. Even schools like SDSU and Fresno which have acceptable football programs for their division.

Why are you so threatened by mediocrity? I’m a Bruin and I know my teams suck.

It would never. Not until more states show interest. This is a state by state solution. Can’t just head straight to the federal level with this.

Yes. And there’s a distinct possibility of that happening. This is exactly what Emmert fears: that we do this and then other states follow. We are the most populous state with an economy stronger than most countries. We have sway.

Exactly. This is the dumbest thing I’ve seen from them, personally.
