“Because she’s potentially taking the role from a trans actor”

No she isn’t.

I don’t say that to be mean or dismissive, I say that as a fact: This movie does not get financed and made unless the lead goes to an A-Lister like ScarJo. Full Stop.

That’s the reality right now. It sucks, and I wish it weren’t so, but it is.…

So you’re saying trans actors can only play trans characters? Gay actors only gay characters? Straight actors only straight characters? And this has nothing to do with race because if that was a valid parallel then shouldn’t you be defending Rachel Dolezal’s right to identify as black even though that wasn’t her…

But identity doesn’t always matter. Jeffrey Tambor and Jared Leto were exceptional in their roles (and I can’t standeither of them), Cate Blanchett was Bob Dylan in I’m not there, Felicity Huffman was incredible in Transamerica. I think rather than a ‘stay in your lane’ attitude towards diversity in casting (but which…

If she turns it down they’ll give it to another actress who will take it. Criticism shouldn’t be directed at the people’s actually in charge of casting, not an actress who can very easily be replaced.

The weird thing about making movies is that they are expensive to make and the people who front the money for them expect to get the money back. Ideally with some extra money on top! That’s one of the reasons why some actors are paid more than others. They draw an audience to the box office! There’s a good chance that…

What she’s not being is calcualted.  She is saying what she thinks: she doesn’t give a fuck.  How much more clear can she make it, aside from actually saying, “I don’t give a fuck.”  This is her.  

Why does she have to defend herself for getting roles? The people who cast should be catching flack more than her. If she thinks the role is right for her and it helps develop her craft - why wouldn’t she take it?

Anyone else concerned about Pete Davidson? No? Maybe? Ok thanx

I literally can’t imagine how (much more) awful high school would have been if Facebook were around then. Thanks for this...nostalgia?

I’m sorry if I made anyone mad.

Thousands of people scrutinize their every move. I couldn’t deal with that.

I always wonder this bc like, even if you didn’t recognize them or Christina didn’t have such a distinct voice, there’s obviously a huge camera crew there. So how stupid do they think all of us are?

Ha, I know the feeling! I get the all-around red face that only fades quite a while later. There is a sweet spot after the gym where it looks like a nice “glow”, in between the heart-attack-face and the usual fairness.

The blotchiness! I like going to classes (in theory now since I’ve been “meaning to go back” for the last 3 years), but inevitably someone will stare at my wide-eyed with concern and ask “ARE YOU OK?!” Yes, it’s just my face, thanks, I’m not stroking out. And this is at the warm up.

Seriously! No sexy crop top? No mesh-covered yoga pants? No elaborate braided hairstyle and tons of makeup? A celebrity photo where the celebrity looks like a human and not a silicone sex doll? I must be in some alternate universe.

Thank you, Amy, for wearing normal fucking clothes to the gym. Remember when you used to just wear, like, pants or shorts and a sweaty t? Not an ensemble?

I wish I looked like that leaving the gym. Extra points for her being so fair and somehow not looking all blotchy like I do.

I keep feeling really baffled that Anthony Bourdain isn’t in this world anymore — no more tweets or books or episodes to pop into my day. It makes me so sad, especially because a lot of my friends and family struggle with depression and suicidal ideation. I hope they hold on.

He’s ugly on the outside too. Normally I try not to comment on looks, but he fucking started it.

There has never been a photograph of Selena Gomez in which she wasn’t either impossibly cute or drop-dead gorgeous.
