“Performative sobriety and objectivity” is my new favorite euphemism for “hate hate hate hate hate”.

*Dusts off kinja account*

I love when Bey drops albums because all the unnecessary hate comes out. White women have become salty towards her since she pivoted away from their asses and they are hurt. Pretending that they just now care about bragging about wealth in music and such. Please.

I agree. We should straight see people with their hair on fire. Instead too many are mumbling about ‘politics’. You cannot say this is normal often or loudly enough.

I’m fucking terrified. I saw this break on Twitter the other day and between this, 45 straight up saying he wants “[his] people” to sit up and take notice the way Kim Jong Un’s “people” do for him, and the child concentration camps, I am really, no-hyperbole, scared. And I almost feel crazy because I feel like I’m not…

“Like, for most people it’s enough to just insist to themselves that they are good or honest or whatever other qualities we find admirable in theory. But, it’s another thing to be capable of the self-reflection to recognize where you’ve fallen and the commitment to actually DO the things that make you good.”

EVERY WORD OF THIS.

Exactly! He always showed such respect and compassion everywhere he went. It wasn’t just that he traveled the world eating food (which would be my dream job). It’s that he was never “I, Rich White Man, Am Here: Accommodate Me” about it. He was always kind and genuinely interested in learning about other people. He…

This is really killing me for the reasons you articulated and also because i admired him for living the way that I aspire to live. If you ever read the things he wrote and said about himself and his flaws and mistakes, it was clear that he was a very thoughtful person. It’s such a hard quality to embody and commit to,…

His ability to really listen to everyone and not interrupt, ever, is something I have strived for and envied since I first realized he was no longer the asshole that he was being marketed as a long time ago.

So much this! Everywhere he went he would find someone local regardless of where he was and he never ever stepped on their toes. When they talked about issues that the place had or specific cultural traditions he listened, he knew when to shut up.

What made Anthony Bourdain remarkable and why there are so many of people of color touched by his death is that he is the example of allyship that we all talk about. He traveled the world and everywhere he went, he treated people of color with a degree of respect we’re unaccustomed to by rich white men. He spoke in…

This was great. I hope he continues doing this all year, and I hope the production quality on his signs gets better. I’m talking visceral pictures. Put the truth in people’s face, Emmett Till style.

The NFL has spent years presenting itself as the 6th branch of the military with its over the top nationalism and pandering to all things Americana. I suppose they would have never guessed that a would be tyrant in Trump would use the league as his personal whipping boy for his dog whistle politics. Trump takes NFL…

Cause I grabbed the mic and try to say, “yes, y’all”
They tried to take it, and say that I’m too small
Cool, ‘cause I don’t get upset
I kick a hole in the speaker, pull the plug, then I jet

Brother, no lies seen.

This is revenge for his not being able to buy an expansion team in the 80's.
