YEP. And they expect to be treated sweetly by them instead of, you know, letting WOC be human beings with a full range of emotions not geared toward making them feel comfortable.

let’s improve as human beings AND not vote for trump in 2020

seconding Kesha’s crossovers

(rubs hands together) may i just be the first to say...

Interesting! I would have thought that authors have learned by now. I certainly hear of them negotiating more robustly for greater input, which certainly isn’t the same thing as profits.

To be fair to her and her youthful wisdom, how big of a Thing was the concept of intellectual rights, at least in this context, in 1990?

gotta say he does a good job keeping the spotlight off them

That’s a no all day long.

I canNOT imagine.

They are, but tell that to radio stations! They seriously don’t get air time near me.

All the country music stations around me play weak, decidedly non-twangy, hip-hop inspired?, spoken word, electric guitar, redneck lyric-pandering, kitchen-sink nonsense. It’s unlistenable-to.

She recently went back to graduate school. It’s a brutal market.

The link is super glitchy and I can’t scoll, so I’m not sure if this is STILL the case, but I read an article earlier this year that explained that ICE agents weren’t going after farm workers in California. Classist as well as racist: those immigrants can harvest crops if they want to—no city-dweller wants that…

You should start sending out resumes for other jobs but definitely don’t quit until you have one, obviously.
