Not being impressed is just not saying anything. Your link was to someone being an asshole to someone who did nothing wrong. No need for a parade, but also no need for giving her shit.

But what is the alternative? That we do nothing? How about other non-white ethnicities; are they allowed to pitch in, or are black people to be left entirely dependent on their own resources? I’m not criticising here, it’s just that the older line that ‘we are all in this together’ has changed such that someone in the…

I’m sure a lot of people will be skeptical about this Olivia Jade move, but, it’s just not hard to believe that even if she had a vague notion of how fortunate she has been growing up, she didn’t really appreciate her privilege until now—at least no in the terms in which the majority of this site’s readership probably…

It’s good practice for shaming Ellen when she finally posts something.

Yes, let’s shame a sheltered girl for a genuine attempt to acknowledge her privilege, grow from it, and influence her followers in a positive manner. That’s the best thing to do.

which is flat-lining because the middle class itself is at death’s door

I mean, does she really need to be doing anything else with her time? It’s like her favorite thing to do. Let her have her hobbies.

“particularly if they’re doing something technically unlawful”

Yeah I mean this isn’t great but it’s far from the worst reaction. Jezebel writers’ reflexive negativity isn’t hitting the way it used to. This isn’t snarky, it’s just desperate fault-finding.

Yeah.  I’m not that mad at this.  I think she’s coming from a sincere place, and it’s modern interpretative dance - certainly that medium doesn’t speak to everyone. 

It’s kinda lame but if you are an artist you’ll process things through art. I’m not going to get mad at white people for being sad. Everyone with a heart is sad rn. 

Beyond the grossness of complaining about a STATUE at a time like this, caping for Louis XVI is just embarrassing all on its own.

Lady Gaga canceled her Chromatica listening party to…tell people to register to vote?? No offense to electoral politics, but—actually, wait. No. Full offense to electoral politics!!!! Telling people to respond to state-sponsored racist violence by registering to vote so that they can participate in an election five…

It was the ’90s — remember the ’90s? Shopping in a department store and got offered a free makeover by a lovely cosmetics consultant. When I looked in the mirror when she was finished, I was treated to the sight of light-orange lips lined in solid black lipliner against my pasty skin. I thanked her then ran, ran, ran…

Mine was as much a makeover, as it was a horrible drunken mistake (in my experience, the WENN diagram of these two is normally a circle).

Two weeks before my first day at junior high I let my best friends highlight my dark brown shoulder length hair...with an entire bottle of Sun-In. The resulting hair color could only be described as “brassy carrot mess”. My mom freaked out and took me to the local hair salon a few days before school - aaand unbeknownst…

In high school, I had a pony tail down past my shoulder blades (guy). It became my ‘thing’. One weekend in senior year, I decided to chop it off. I was so pumped for people's reactions. That Sunday night, the captain of our softball team died in a car crash. I didn’t find out until I walked into first period and one…

Yes! I just looked it up and came across this gem of a sentence:

And the lipstick is a much better color on you. The other one washed you out. 

I wish I still had the picture I sent my cousin after a department store makeover that turned me from a regular white girl into a cat.
