The amount of absolute caution required of us all to avoid contracting COVID-19 is impossible to maintain. You have to go outside. You have to eat. You have to meet your delivery person. It’s impossible. I feel like starting there can help people establish a little bit more empathy.

Even better, the moment the scene returns to your control, you get a notification/tutorial pop-up that tells you about going to barbershops.

I wasn’t gonna reply to this but I think you’re acting in good faith. Normally I’d check your previous posts to be sure, but I’m just gonna say this.

This game reminds me of how much I hate when non-Black people are privy to Black conversations. But for just this once, I’m going to bury that seething hatred of things like this because I really liked this scene, and I laugh at it every time when Franklin reaches for his yee-yee ass haircut. If you don’t change it by…

That poison you speak of is just being rich. I’ll never forget what he said to Oprah, “The New Black doesn’t blame other races for our issues. The New Black dreams and realizes that it’s not a pigmentation; it’s a mentality. And it’s either going to work for you, or it’s going to work against you. And you’ve got to…

I always cringe at blaming people for their own abuse because a social media platform outgrew itself before making a plan to handle abuse of its platform by the masses. Instagram (as now owned by FB) has no incentive to make itself good for people, and abuse should not be taken as a given. It’s what’s allowed because…

People hate the Kardashians, when they should really hate the systems that allow them to be successful in the first place. You don’t hate Kylie, you hate Forbes, or you hate cultural appropriation because there are people who will allow them to get away with it. 

I’m no longer engaging with the troll who typed, “domestic violence is not that complicated.” I bid thee farewell, and get thee to a library. 

It’s oh so very easy to tell someone what they should do legally. Meg’s reputation has already been dragged through the mud, she has already been interrogated, she’s already been threatened and subject to violence, she’s already been forced to confront police with a helicopter overhead, she’s already been hospitalized…

Let people talk how they wanna. He wrote it. You read it. You understood it. The medium of a text message is not built for essays and for a very long time it wasn’t conducive to standard English. There’s no problem there. So flack is probably deserved considering you’re pushing some respectability shit here.

I don’t doubt his intent, he does mention her and Oscar Isaac. He knows he’s not alone in this, but that sentence bothers me as well because it’s like he forgets lol. Yeah things are bad for him because he experienced them personally, but Kelly Marie Tran (she later in her op-ed wrote her name to prove a point, Loan) e…

Kelly Marie Tran still counts for this. 

Fuck, I’m so sorry to hear that. I have borderline quit several times because it’s incredibly toxic and it destroys people all the time. I’m sorry you lost your friend to such a shitty institution. She deserved better. 

Interpretation is hard in all forms, not to mention live interpretation which requires on the spot translating contexts, culture, situations then the language. Not to mention this is an adult talking to a kid, which in many languages, has embedded within it a variety of nuances regarding register, vocabulary, and even…

I used to be part of a PhD student facebook group where people could come to bitch and moan about grad school and post memes. What I thought would be a fun refuge for catharsis quickly became another source of anxiety for me, as everyone had terrible stories to share and awful coping mechanisms. I had just started to…

I think the hate against Carol is also part of a larger apathy about animal abuse and what it looks like in the US. PETA is extreme, but it’s become a punchline to want to advocate for animals in any shape or form. You’re either characterized as having an unhealthy obsession with them, or you’re not listened to at…

It’s mac and cheese, it’s (what I thought was!) a pretty common comparison

why are there TEETH?!

Mac in a pot, the squishy noise it makes when stirred, is often likened to pussy. Now, what Annie line are you hearing?

I watched a lot of TechTv for someone who was about 12 and didn’t really know anything about computers, but I watched it with my dad pretty often. I remember the last episode of “Call for Help,” in which they pretended to break the news to one of the co-hosts that they wouldn’t be back for another episode. He looked…
