Star for truth and for proper use of “alumna”.

“Libertarian” means “legal weed but fuck the poors”.

You are confusing two different things. ‘Splaining (whitesplaining, mansplaining, etc) is an attempt to override a marginalized person’s statement about the system(s) of oppression that they experience. Your “undercover” man example falls into this category because it is based on disbelieving women’s accounts of their…

I don’t think the problem is that producers and directors of color are unwilling to produce and direct movies about themselves. Rather movies produced, directed, and starring people of color don’t get financed by studios and/or don’t get wide distribution so we don’t see them.

Because she initially entered the US illegally, there may be no path for her to obtain legal resident status while remaining in the US; that determination would depend on her specific circumstances and likely would require assistance from a lawyer.

My Republican senator doesn’t accept faxes, apparently. Odd. I thought Republicans were all enamored with the past so technology circa 1964 should be up their alley.

Counterpoint, the 80's retro/nostalgia was my least favorite aspect of the show but I overall found it enjoyable. I think nostalgia plays into some of the hype but it isn’t (for me) what makes the show.

I really, really want this to be true. Do you have a link?

I realize it’s often hard to tell on the internet so let me preface by saying this is a sincere question. If you didn’t like the show (no big deal, different tastes and all that), why did you click on a post about the show and them comment on that post? I do not understand that impulse.

Thanks for this info. I’m going to call Portman (202-224-3353) right now to see if he knows this.

That’s in the movies. In the book he plans to put it in Dumbledore’s tomb (although the books don’t say whether he actually does).

Well depending on whether you count Cursed Child, the Elder Wand belongs to either Harry or Hermione. So as long as Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe are kept safe, we should be OK.

Bohemia is owned by AB InBev who also own Budweiser.

Bump (in case grey bumps contribute).

And yeah, Han’s death is too a big deal to the Resistance/Rebellion. General Solo, icon, and love of their leader. Appropriate to the real world in that we are deeply affected when an icon is lost. Liberals mourn the loss of Obama, and some even the loss of Clinton, and are discouraged by the vacuum of…

I didn’t lose anything. Except, apparently, you somewhere along the way, and maybe your sense of humor too. I wasn’t upset, but now I’m awfully frustrated that what seemed to me to be straightforward counterpoints has produced a nitpicky and fastidious misaccounting.

OK I thought we were having an amusing back-and-forth about Star Wars as an analogy for the current political climate but I think you lost the thread a bit. Let’s back up.

True. But like everything else on earth, climate change will impact poor people and people of color first and more harshly.

Keep protesting, signing petitions, donating, calling representatives, and trying to get more involved in local politics. I know this is frustrating (I’ve been in that boat myself and I’m sure I’ll be back) but we’re fighting a lot of momentum: Republicans have control of two branches of the national government and…

Here is a list of how everyone has voted on all the confirmations. They’re keeping it pretty well updated.
