That scene of Zoey texting Aaron was the most uncomfortable 5 minutes of television I’ve ever watched. By the end, I was hiding behind my sofa.

We are not “Blacks” we are Black people.

I feel like in general having portrait tattoos of living people who you aren’t family with is just kinda fucking weird, dude.
