And that’s why I only eat with the lights on.

If it helps at all, I’m perfectly happy taking Blueberry’s cast offs. Eddie Redmayne and Benedict Cumberbatch are sexy af. Tatum is really only hot when he’s dancing, but at least he seems like a good guy. Hard pass on Teller though.

The movie version is “the chicks’ll cream”. I think that’s from the original stage version. It’s been sanitized over the years. A lot of the lyrics got changed including the tits line and pussy wagon.

He was good in Roswell too.

It makes you wonder if conversations like these are happening in publisher offices:

Thanks for all the suggestions! I’m going to look these up.

Sadie’s blond-ish with blue eyes. This is how she’s described.

You can’t edit a comment after a certain time period. I think it’s something like 10 or 15 minutes.

Some guy argued that very same thing to me about having a black Guinevere in the BBC show Merlin. He said it was unrealistic. Nevermind that PoC have existed in Europe for well over a thousand years. He apparently had a harder time believing that a black person could exist in the fictional court of King Arthur than he…

Ugh, now I’m dying to know! I must read faster. :)

I haven’t read the Olympus series, but I read the first book in the Kane Chronicles. It features two siblings who are biracial. When I realized the boy ends looks black, but the girl is a blonde, I rolled my eyes. Figures. Black (looking) females have an even harder time being included in media than black males.

Or they’re about racism or they’re meant to teach about another culture.

I recently started reading the Expanse after falling in love with the show. I really like them so far and am excited to hear that Nagata gets a POV in the latest book, since I’ve been wanting to know more about her.

What’s especially hard is to find YA books with black female protagonists that 1) aren’t about racial issues 2) don’t take place in Africa and 3) don’t have to do with African myths/folklore.

Yeah, I’ve had the decidedly uncomfortable experience of suddenly seeing an eyeball filling in the gap between the door and the wall. If we’re going to have gender neutral bathrooms, we definitely need more private stalls.

It’s an arbitrary line. The guy at the coffee shop doesn’t really provide a different service than the guy at McD’s or even the guy at Walmart and in my state, he doesn’t get paid any different either. Somehow it’s just become customary to tip just one out of the three.

my sister ubers on the side. the only money you get are from tips. they don’t pay you an hourly wage and you don’t get reimbursed for gas. she says that so many people don’t tip.

That is so true about the kind of roles African Americans are allowed to win for. That is part of the reason that Michael B. Jordan’s nomination hurts so much, it was a story that had very little to do with race. And was primarily of a son trying to connect with his dead father. It’s a very universal story.

I wouldn’t think of watching a movie about gang thugs

Isn’t there normally a delivery minimum?
