Yup- she’s just being given packets of schoolwork now too instead of direct instruction (and she had an IEP at school- that’s part of why she wasn’t doing the online work bc she hadn’t gotten set up yet with enough help from her special ed teacher)

Yeah I liked him on The Boys too- he was able to make a semi-scummy character still seem somewhat sympathetic

Yeah, I find the idea of one of my pets being eaten to be so terrible. I’m sorry for your loss. It’s still not clear what the circumstances were for Bloom’s dog disappearance but I’m afraid it might also be Coyote’s.... if it was a car they would have found him by now. Maybe they’re lucky and someone stole him? I feel…

There’s just as much a chance that she’d be the kind of parent who thinks a child is being “rude” if they continually don’t want to be alone with a certain person and who won’t listen if their child tells them that person is abusing them

Yeah- there are probably 1000s of realities where you don’t exist- maybe your parents never met bc one decided not to go to that party, maybe your mom just felt too tired on the night you were supposed to be conceived, maybe a different sperm beat yours and a slightly different variation of you was formed. None of…

Yeah- I think the more isolated instances of stereotypes are important bc it lets us know what people got away with- and also makes it easier for advocates to point out examples of bad stereotypes. How is someone supposed to go “buck teeth on someone who’s Asian is a common Asian stereotype” if no one remembers…

Yeah- “I Need a Jew” and all the rape jokes on Family Guy really make me question how well meaning McFarland ever was

Yeah, I think things with shorter instances of racism/other terrible biases should be included with a warning. Drek like Gone with the Wind or Song of the South is too virulent for common viewing but I think there’s also some benefit from remembering how common certain stereotypes were in even recent media. I was just…

From what I can tell it’s supposed to premier Sept 4th but there’s no record of whether they’re premiering onto a streaming service or not

Yeah- I don’t know if the consequences would be similar or worse or better if a white Jewish actor said similarly racist things about black people because our society is stupid and defends bigots far too often- but I’d hope black gentiles would try to have at least as much empathy for how Jewish people feel about this…

The problem is that antisemitism has historically frequently come from people who either had equal or less “power” in society than some Jews at the time- but since so many Western societies have used Jews as a “pressure relief”, that street-level hate usually gets taken advantage of whenever the real people in power…

Yeah that was so messed up- Nick Cannon made like 1 anti-white statement and a full Mel Gibson’s worth of antisemitic ones. It was totally unaware of how statements like Cannon’s impact Jewish people

Wow that’s something- those roads around there are really narrow (and dark) too. I’m not surprised at all- they act pretty aggressive. And I’m sure their behavior here was even modified somewhat by seeing the guy had a big mansion and they’d be even worse with someone who didn’t seem like there’d be consequences for…

Yeah- unfortunately in my experience the PA state police are macho jerks and I’m *white*. I can’t imagine how they act with a PoC.

Yeah I don’t think they were “let go”- I think those were just 2 actors who have been in the Marvel movies forever and are probably sick of them/not wanting to look like Tony Stark’s grandpa. Downey has been remarkably well-behaved considering his former reputation and Evans primarily gets positive publicity for his…

Yeah- I think there should be exceptions for people with stupid powers but it might be fair to know what people can throw train cars with their mind (especially bc people get brainwashed constantly in the Marvel Universe). It kind of reminds me of the vampires “God hates fangs” thing in True Blood- there’s a lot of…

I think I’d compare how Quiet was framed by the camera (the sexy posing...) even more because then it’s the same creator- this is still good because all actors deserve to have their bodily autonomy respected but hopefully Kojima will try to consider this more in the future. Quiet didn’t have a big name actress playing…

Definitely- being antisemitic is just becoming a tool of the white Christian patriarchy. You’re not being woke- you’re just another cog in the system. Nick Cannon isn’t just another person anymore than Mel Gibson is and we shouldn’t minimize what he said. If Jennifer Lopez said “black people are dumb and only good at…

Yeah, I don’t really consider Satmars “anti-semitic” either but it was the nearest thing I could think of as a good faith reference. I agree about the other two too- I think the biggest problem with Black Israelite congregations is those that talk about how Jews are “really” black and how Ashkenazic/Sephardic/Mizrahi…

I think it’s a natural way of discussing relationship problems- the problem is more how significant the “but” is and if you have been doing crappy things to that person. You can love someone but also have a problem in the relationship and it’s a way of communicating “I really don’t want to break up” or “I hope we…
