His absence was the best thing about last season.

As another perpetual single this is something that I’m dying to know as well.

Real life version of Crimson Peak. Hopefully without the murder or ghosts.

I’ve always thought “we’re all Africans” and “colourblind” phrases were ways that people who are out of touch (like, say, my parents) express their pro-SJ feelings, since they lack the modern SJ vocabulary to explain it less awkwardly. Well intentioned, but clumsy by today’s standards.

Well.... she’s not wrong. 2 of the most powerful women in music, who use feminism as part of their brand, have said absolutely nothing about a shitshow in their own industry.

Kesha is signed to the record label Kemosabe Records which is under Sony Music Entertainment. Kemosabe Records is owned and founded by Dr. Luke. Even if shes free to work with producers other than Dr. Luke, she is still working for Dr. Luke. Her and her music are owned by Dr. Luke. She has no creative control and all…

I took it more of a unified call to action. If the Beyoncé’s and the Taylor’s of the music industry called this bullshit out, it would override the fucked up system and Sony will have to do something about it. There's no other artist male or female bigger than those two. Their voices have power.

That “system” does include women. Ignoring that doesn’t strike me as a good call for the sake of women.

Glad Jezebel posted this clarification. Pretty shitty mistake by the AP/Mashable/whoever let this get out of hand.

It’s a little more than “not exactly what happened.”

I understand your issue but this is not a sexualized image. She’s not licking her lips or biting them; her mouth is closed in a relaxed position. We should absolutely criticize sexualized images of women’s bodies but we can’t assume automatically that any cropped image of a woman is inherently sexual, especially those…

Yeah, I’m a woman of color and I think framing this as a competition for who gets to be chosen by hot white guys is missing the point about as much as it’s possible to.

And also that WOC are just inherently cooler, and not dumpy and dorky managers or something? Uhh...

Do we really have to make it about who gets “chosen” by men? A woman’s worth and beauty is not based on whether or not a hot dude wants to fuck her. I agree with your second sentiment though!

It’s weird right? There’s no racism - then you see people say shit like this, shit you literally find it hard to believe that people would actually say. Not because you don’t believe it, because it seems so far past ridiculous you could have made it up if you tried.

Excuse me, racism is not a problem here in America so IDK what you’re talking about. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Watched the Revenant last weekend, over 2 nights cause I kept falling asleep. Two takeaways 1) ew 2) the person who made my imaginary bf Tom Hardy so utterly unfuckable deserves an Oscar more than Leo.

I thought The Revenant was really uninteresting and not worth the hype. But....it’s a really weak year in the Best Actor category, so I don’t see anyone else but DiCaprio taking best actor. Bryan Cranston was OK in Trumbo, but it was a lightweight movie that didn’t make a splash. Damon’s nomination for The Martian is…

But that’s also from an era when women probably didn’t sign contracts. Like the founders who enshrined “innocent until proven guilty,” which I generally find to be a righteous notion, clearly didn’t consider that means rape victims are assumed to be liars.

I feel like being raped would constitute force majeure or something and make the contract to work with the rapist null and void.
