I’m really not down with calling anything to do with music appropriative. Music isn’t made in a vacuum. Musicians hear other musicians doing something they think sounds cool so they try it. ALL THE TIME. This happens across styles and cultures and races and religions and trends and races and time and space and…

They’re going to do it like it’s pre-Hays Code Hollywood.

Betty Boop the cartoon has a long, tangled, problematic and fascinating history with Harlem. It was one of the first vehicles of any kind for jazz artists like Cab Calloway and Louis Armstrong to get any exposure with white mainstream audiences. And the visuals of the 1930s cartoons are really pointed and playful…

She was made a human fairly quickly (although she continued to date a dog).

The day after tomorrow: Grumpy Old Men

Tarkhan is not “south of Egypt,” it is a late Predynastic to Early Dynastic Period cemetery in northern (Lower) Egypt that is south of Cairo.

The 1950s were really grim in the UK. Rationing didn’t end until 1954, almost 10 years after the end of the war. A supermarket would have seemed amazing to anyone, even the Queen.

Such a great line

Spears are an excellent weapon against an unarmed opponent like a zombie. They would be better with some crossguards, though, like they used to put on bear hunting spears. That way the zombie can’t force its way up the spear to get you if you stab it somewhere other than the head.

Or when black people become the highest earning racial demographic per capita by median salary in America (as Asian Americans have been for around 20 years or so).

My problem with your statements is that they seem to lack context and a sense of history. The civil rights movement paved the way for a lot of non black people. Black people have done the work with little or no acknowledgement from other minority groups. Those same minority groups often reap the benefits and don’t…

Chinese people were marching in New York last week against the conviction of an officer that killed an unarmed black man. But now it’s black people’s responsibility to advocate on their behalf?

Fuck that. No one takes care of us but US. Non-Black POC are welcome to join us in protest on any subject or organize their own protests. No one asks Asians or Hispanics to consider Black people with every move they make. Why must the weight of every minority be on our shoulders, while usually being shit on by those…

i’ve noticed this again and again. someone of another ethnicity will pipe in about black activism and how it “excludes” others. and i just say, well then you guys jump in and start marching and yelling and telling your own stories because we blacks can’t speak to everybody’s experiences.

I do not know if this is legit.

He’s full of it. His father, Fred Trump, was arrested in the 20s for participating in a KKK rally that turned violent. Fred Trump was also sued in the 70s by the U.S. Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division for refusing to rent to black people

“...his genitals came flying out of his shorts while trying to beat five seconds.”

I despise the “You never know what you’re gonna get with adoption” argument. No parent ever knows what they’re gonna get! You think Jeffery Dahmer’s mother knew her son would grow up to become a cannibalistic serial killer when she held him the day he was born? Or the day Justin Bieber’s parents brought him home from…

I believe researchers have grown a vaginal canal on a 3-D printed “scaffold”. Not sure how far off it is to actual common medical practice. I am most excited about new organs being grown from a patient's own cells, so they don't have to take immunosuppressant drugs.

Not yet, no internal plumbing to hook the uterus up to. Late last year there were a couple articles about uterus transplants for men being as few as 5 yrs off, but it seems really unlikely. Seems like a lot of transwomen are really hoping though.
