Then you need to see them in Stormy Weather too:

Yeah, this sounds like a portrait of a great housepet.

Or just outfits. Just give a home to a dog or cat in need of one, pick a quirky name and acquire some snazzy ensembles. Everyone will know how creative you are without the fuss of keeping a pet bison.

Your cat couldn’t figure out the right way to check if you were still breathing or if you stopped and he could eat you.

Yes, and I think a case can be made against more Holocaust films, which are famously Oscar-bait. I think the reason why Hollywood adores Holocaust/slavery narratives is because they present cruelty as a kind of historical exceptionalism. As Kara Brown says in the post, there’s a prevailing sense of “Aren’t we glad…

There has to be more to the identity of Jewish people and African Americans than the holocaust and slavery, right? These topics haven’t just become meal-tickets for hacky authors and screen-writers, right? They still deserve my attention, but sometimes it’s hard to remember.

White person semi-derailing ahead: I guess my issue with biopics of performers is that the actor is never as good a performer as the original, so it almost always lessens them. Maybe if they never showed the performances themselves, but then who’s going to watch a Nicholas Brothers movie without dancing in it?

Black and Latino high school students only exist to challenge brand new white teachers and then grow to love them while, in the end, teaching the teacher the most meaningful lessons of all.

El Salvador is not progressive. In any way. Abortion is 100% illegal, if and if you’re publicly gay or trans you’re likely to be beaten, raped, or killed. Or all three.

Her eyes are screamed for help. “Save me from the tourists”, they pleaded.

I mean sure-we all get a little upset when down graded. I get that it’s really hard for her to be moved from the best seat to the second best. But it IS hard to sympathize with her as when I’m downgraded from MY seat, I have to hang on to the wing, screaming, like some sort of nightmare at 20 thousand feet.

Wow. I forgot how pretty marbles are. I might just start decorating with marbles.

I delivered chicken wings in a small city on the Hudson in Upstate NY. During a particularly icy night, I was made to deliver despite poor road conditions. On one run, I was stopped and preparing to make a left hand turn across traffic, with my signal on. Some asshat in a rented Dodge Charger barely touched her brakes…

She killed my Brother in a knife fight in Saigon, back in ‘73 and on that day I swore revenge. Now, 43 years later, my opportunity is here and bitchy internet comments are my weapon of choice.

Yeah. It’s like a Liza homage. Surrounded by young gay boy dancers, getting wasted at gigs, ranting at lovers from 20 years ago. It’s almost satire.

That’s why I love our ped. Someone once called while we were in the office, begging for the doc to see her toddler, who had a fever and a rash. They were not current patients. The doctor said “are your children vaccinated?” And when she said no, our ped said “sorry, I can’t see you. I can’t endanger kids in my…

The only question I had when I was speaking with pediatricians was “Do you allow non-vaccinated patients?” If there was even a waffle outside of “only for medical necessity, i.e. allergies” I was done. I was pleasantly surprised that most said no with no exceptions.

Make sure to hold on to your children really tightly as you walk in to your doctor’s office though.

Fuck anti-vax parents. I have no sympathy for these idiots. Some choices are so fucking common sense. They also seem to not give a shit if they kill other people’s kids and make the most asinine comments about Big Pharma. Go sit on a cactus assholes.
