You fucking moron, I’m South Asian. I know what the Obama administration was doing in Pakistan better than you do. And I’m not American - thank god - you don’t know shit about me or what I have/haven’t done. But sure, not caring about/knowing about some kids means no one should care about ANY kids. The fact is that…

There is no basis in the Bible to deny service to homosexuals - but there is a basis in political free speech to refuse access to people as a protest. Funny how conservatives only think one of those is ok.

Okay, now I am doubly going to buy this, pre-flipping-order it, in fact. Michelle Obama is a brilliant, shining star of a lady, and I want to know all about her. The frosting on top will be knowing that it will make Faux News-heads have rage strokes.

All the stars for you.  When I read her comment about treating people with respect, I thought “Jim Acosta and April Ryan would like to offer their rebuttal to that.” 

And yet you have no problem working for a man who signed an executive order to protect “religious liberties” to allow so-called “Christians” to deny service to anyone they don’t like (also known as people of color and those who are LGBTQIA). Of all the lies that have spewed forth from your vile mouth, “I always do my…

“The fact that it will outsell all of Donald’s shitty books...”

The princes and their bald spots probably agree :)

My father taught high school for 35 years and always kept a picture of Mr. Rogers on his desk to remind him that a 16 year old acting like an asshole probably just wants someone to listen to them and tell them they matter. Another teacher wrote Mr. Rogers to tell him about my dad and Mr. Rogers wrote him a really nice…

I met “Maria” from Sesame Street a few weeks ago and totally cried when I spoke to her. I just couldn’t help it. #notembarassedbutyeah

Of course evangelicals are ok with this behavior because the bottom line is whiteness, white hegemony and white supremacy trump (haha) everything else. Their primary concern is someone keeping the “darkies” in line. Hell if Satan ran for President and promised all that 45 has, no doubt he would win the vote of these…

There is a distressingly high number of WOC and POC who will not be able to comment here because Jez has banned them, without explanation or warning. The entire JezeRoot series is so controversial with the commenters at least in part because so many people will not be able to participate in anything that is posted to…

Oh, certainly. I did not mean that I would prefer living in the 20's in any way! It is simply that we have become so consumed (myself, included) by passive entertainment (that which Neil Postman describes as ‘amusing ourselves to death’) that we aren’t creating fully dimensional lives. Or at least I am not.

I’m into true crime podcasts and investigation ID, but actually paying money to get a memento from a killer(I know he didn’t literally kill them) is really disturbing.

She passionately lived every moment of it. It was such an incredible time to be alive. Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, Anaïs Nin, Salvador Dalí: people who insisted on life, above all. While we get sucked into the Internet, into our soulless jobs, into fears about the political situation and the world.

I mean, fine, but I’d rather a biopic about Bessie Coleman.

My husband was born in Pakistan but grew up from infancy in Indiana. He’s now a doctor and gets this question all. the. time. from his older patients. When he gets to that second “no, but where are you from.......,” he always doubles down on “I’m from Indiana” in an increasingly deadpan and serious tone until shit…

It’s not othering if you choose it yourself. They are modern people with modern sensibilities, and if they chose contemporary artists as a matter of breaking the mold, supporting Black and American artists, that’s claiming your ground, not ceding it.

Because I’m in the greys, and I know you “know” me, I’ll post this here:

I agree on Michelle - and I think what people are picking up on as “that doesn’t look like her” is that there is a trace of pain in her face. The visuals we’re used to of Michelle are expansive warmth and poise. This is steely grace. She is not yours, and was never yours. There isn’t a smile in sight.

You’re soo right, it’s 100% time for NBC to reboot Passions.
