Because most of ya’ll don’t even realise or refuse to acknowledge that your existence, privilege and success as a race is built on the backs, blood and death of people of colour.

I don’t know if this was a book or tv scene (or just my fevered imagination) but I remember Jon was very wary about boning with Ygritte because he didn’t want to leave her with child (wanting to avoid an unwanted bastard situation that he grew up in) except Ygritte was all “the fuck is wrong with southerners if we…

i had wrongly assumed, upon seeing the headline, that this was going to be an article extolling the mental and physical benefits of masturbation...based purely on jon’s naked posterior in that last, riveting, scene.

IRS dementors! I’m using it.

Beyonce is performative. Remember the lyrics to Formation really don’t make any sense when paired with Black Panther ideology. Beyonce has the same ideology as any capitalist Taylor Swift white feminist.

You, and all your grey’d ilk complaining about my use of the word ‘mansplaining’ can kindly take a seat. This is a perfect example of the concept.

So I read this article the other day, “Blank Space: Taylor Will Not - And Should Not - Solve Your Donald Trump Anxiety,” and it made some interesting points about this whole Taylor Swift thing, particularly that this kind of “celebrity politics” is what helped create Trump, by giving credibility to celebrities just…

Yeah, don’t think calling 75% of your customers entitled, clueless racists is the best marketing ploy. Or saying your employer is full of crap for giving you a job. But kudos to her for standing up for what she believes in. I think my employer (and many of our clients) is pretty clueless and evil too, but food’s gotta…

Big difference between what a private citizen can get away with and what an elected official can get away with. A private citizen can get away with murder if they have enough money and plea shit out in court.

Jesus - when she sobs ‘why is he so angry’ is heartbreaking. His hands are actually on her and no one around her is able to stop him. She’s totally vulnerable, he’s unstable and everyone is helpless to prevent him from forcing her into his car. How absolutely terrifying.

turned actress

yes, that’s why i won’t see her.

I think Chloe touched on this once in another interview. I seem to remember her saying that when she went by Chloe Wang that she got docked on both sides. Her name would hamper her ability to be cast for white parts, and when casting directors would call her in for Asian parts (not that there are many, obviously)…

I love happy endings and I loved your story.

I’m in a similar boat. I’m a light-skinned, mixed Latina with a foreign first and last name. My siblings have more “American” first names, so they have it a bit easier, but people are constantly asking me why I don’t change my name, or give nicknames to people that are easier to pronounce. I don’t answer to nicknames,…

When faced with that question (rare for me but maybe once a year), I tell them my real name is Barack. Chad Taylor Michaels is my slave name.

Long, long history of that in Hollywood. Huge numbers of actors had to change their names to get famous, both for racist reason (their name was very “ethnic” and Hollywood hates that) or because their name was hard to pronounce. For example, for Jews, you’ve got Marilyn Monroe = Norma Jean Mortensen, Kirk Douglas =…

You missed the killer line:

Capitalism and “wokeness” can exist in the same space.
