So, that essentially creates a self-fulfilling prophecy. Productions won’t hire minority actors because pretty much all of them aren’t A-list. Minority actors can’t become A-list because A-list productions won’t hire them. Rinse and repeat.

Because her taking it actively prevents trans people from using their own voices in a system where they already experience extraordinary marginalization and erasure. She’s an active participant in the oppression of trans folks by taking this role. How is that not clear?

Is is still an engagement ring if it’s not used to propose marriage? Like, don’t the circumstances of it being given to you actually define what kind of ring it is?

she gets that they have to put on the be-nice face

“Physically drag them out of office” gets my vote.

We don't lose any moral high ground by refusing to serve fascist collaborators. Her actions are so morally corrupt she deserves no place in a just society. The moral high ground is not about being polite, it's about doing what is right and just.

I once worked a hotel in the south for banquettes. The kitchen was mostly POC, and one night we had The United Daughters of the Confederacy to feed. I’m gonna tell you right now you don’t want to eat at places where people hate you. Asking them to leave is the polite thing to do.

On the other hand, she could go fuck herself.

Here’s the thing about paranoid bullies: everything feeds their persecution complex. They’ve rightfully counted on the other side to back down and take the high road for about 2 decades now. I’m fine with them getting a taste of their own medicine.

Thank you for writing this out. I’m so over these “my grandparents got married the day they met and they’ve been together 100 years.” Cool, great, good for them. First of all, I’d say that if they really are in a happy marriage, then its mostly just due to dumb luck. But mostly, in this case, Davidson has a…

It feels like people are falling all over themselves talking about how BPD isn’t a big scary thing, but in their zeal to be all Mental Illness Is Okay, they’re not looking at the very real possibility that this isn’t a good idea for either party. I’d love it if this thing didn’t crash and burn immediately because…

I think it can work if both parties are upfront and honest about who they are and what their intentions are. It makes it easier to be ok with your partner’s flaws once the honeymoon phase is over and the blinders are off. If you’re hiding a large part of your identity or situation from your partner, then a whirlwind…

Eh, give it a few months and you’ll probably be able to have your chance.

She probably thinks, “I’m just saying what everyone else is thinking.”

My cousin has BPD and when she texted me to tell me about this her reaction was that he needs to be working more on his dialectical behavioral therapy! People with BPD deserve love just like everyone else, but if they are undergoing therapy, they know that they have a tendency to form attachments too quickly and make…

Yeah, I’ve been in relationships with guys like this when I was younger, and unless you have really great boundaries and really realistic expectations for romance . . . you want to believe. Especially if you’re young, especially if you just got out of a bad relationship. You’re feeling that first crazy rush of…

This. You summed up so-called incels perfectly. It’s really voluntary celibacy because a. they think they don’t have to do anything to make themselves attractive (or at least not abhorrent) to another human being and b. they all want model-hot tens even though they are fours and fives. But nooooo...they don’t want…

Bhabie and Vicki. Oh yeah, them. Honestly, if Youtuber lovelyti2002 hadn’t talked about them, I would only know Bhad Bhabie due to all the media coverage. You have Ms. Cashmeoutside aka Bhad Bhabie aka Danielle Bregoli (I was absolutely shocked that she was 14 at the time of her fame, she looks older), given an award…

One thing black Youtubers have pointed out, is that its hard for them to get sponsors. Companies rarely partner with black people on social media either. Yet, we repeatedly see companies willing to throw money at other races who “act ghetto” or their version of what they think black people sound/act like. I don’t…

I’d be more concerned with the fact that the guy was just recently talking about his struggle to get clean and sober, yet took an Instragram pic holding a glass of wine, bragged about how high he got for a pretty high profile gig, and who really looks like shit. This is not a guy in a good place right now.
