But it is something. And that matters :)

I've had a boss who would say the same, and it really did change the way I approach issues with management. Meaning, I really don't unless I have an idea for a possible solution or unless the issue is so bad that addressing it period is necessary, regardless of having a solution.

That's so terribly true. Even in my state (New Mexico), which has a large Native population, racism and general shittiness towards Native people here is surprisingly common. And that's from other minorities in the state! And people in this thread are being so obtuse and willfully ignorant that it's sad. Commenters I…

LOVE any chance to mention my fondness for SK books. Just finished reading Dead Zone last year and I'm still surprised by how his books grip me. He just gets the human condition so well. And he's coming to my state for a book signing in June!! AND the Dark Tower movie is FINALLY HAPPENING!!!!!!! This is seriously…

Agreed. I think this interview was telling in so far as she talked about what moves her personally, which makes me like her more. All these comments focusing on the pregnancy are so funny and likely explain exactly why she doesn't talk about specifics.

LOL - I can’t even.
“Are you sure she didn’t consult Native Americans in this so outdated and stereotypical depiction of them and their culture Mr. Rando???????!!!!” Do people really love her and the Harry Potter series so much that it removes all rational thought from their brains?

Wowwwwwwwwww... This is wildly racist and demeaning. Congrats on somehow having the worst comment among all of the other bs claims of "damned if you do, damned if you don't with minorities". You're so special.

“and my ruler Willow Smith”

You could be right that this furthers a view of women's bodies that is not the "norm", but that's been happening in our society and culture forever already. I do, however, think that if this makes women (and young adult women) feel more comfortable taking their own nude pics, that it could actually be a little…

Just posted basically the same above - she really is one of those rare comedic actors that can take the audience through a huge spectrum of emotions. And you just fall in love with her by the end. She brings a realness to her characters that I think allows the audience to connect even when it’s an otherwise somewhat…

This is an interesting take that I think I agree with. I mean, I think I love all the roles I've seen Melissa in, but I think my favorite was her role in Spy once she started to take charge with Rose Byrne's character, and the dynamic between the two of them really made that movie in my opinion. So while she does the…

Oooh, I've heard really good things about that show. Thanks for the reminder, I should check it out. At least we get more Ian McShane on Game of Thrones soon!!! YAY GoT!!!!

This is a little late for a reply, but just wanted to say that I think you nailed it. The issues people seem to have with her appear to me to be more about a rejection of her values and therefore her worth because they don't align with what someone thinks is "right". Despite the fact that all celebs also play into…

Well if that's your compass then how does any celebrity justify their existence under it? Granted, there are always exceptional people who use their position to elevate those around them whose voices are diminished and try to make society better. I agree that I would like to see myself that way were in a position to…

I really don’t mean to be combative, but I’ve seen this argument all over the internet when people try to justify the anger and negativity they personally feel towards Kim and her family, and I just wonder to myself "What have YOU done to add value to the culture at large"? I mean this seriously - why is someone like…

I don’t see those criticisms as incongruent. I’m not Native American, but a huge part of this critique is that Native American culture is already widely misrepresented. So to not only play into the same outdated stereotypes (like those used in Peter Pan) but to then take actual aspects of a very real religion and…

Yes! Sarah Paulson is just such a gut punch of an experience to watch on the screen. I can never pull my eyes off of her, especially in American Horror Story! I loved all of her characters, she really gave them all a depth and fragility, but also real strength that is just beautiful to watch. She's easily become my…

Oh, good point. It is definitely uniformly ugly all over :)

This is the rub for me. I see myself as fairly open-minded, but also find myself waffling between agnostic and atheist so I love your “comfortably an atheist” line because it definitely is difficult to get beyond this idea that atheism somehow means egoism or something else. But for me, in the absence of personal…
