A top 5, if not the best, episode of the show. I’ve always loved this version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow, which I know was modeled on the Israel Kamakawiwoʻole styling, but his scrambling of the lyrics disagrees with my OCD tendencies. I wish there was a recording of the Scrubs version that didn’t include the…

Fricken *brilliant* scene... R.I.P. Sam. =\

R.I.P.

Character actors are the backbones of the acting world. The absolutely crucial everymen/women who fill out the worlds of the art we love and add humor, personality, and heart to things that the big names just can’t. And the consequence of that is they are often treated like the regular people they portray- low…

R.I.P.

I’m showing my age, but in retrospect, it’s unreal how great hip-hop was in the early 90's. In 3 years, you got these amazing, fully formed albums from Tribe, de La, Jungle Brothers, and so many other who’s outtakes would absolutely destroy 99% of what is being made today.

Wait who was hating on this funny ass show?

“contrary to popular black belief, the majority were”

OMG, that’s true!

Black Twitter spent the majority of the time trashing A Black Lady Sketch Show instead of giving it time to find its way and to check out the sketches that were good (contrary to popular black belief, the majority were). But, just like with the Black Hollywood Token, I guess they’ll get around to realizing that ABLSS…

Yeah, it’s just nonsense.

It’s not implausible at all if “the perpetrator” were a friend or boyfriend. People frequently dismiss young women disappearing with boyfriends as just a drug binge. And when they return, whatever the victim might be willing to say about it, family and police continue to dismiss it as “he said, she said” if there was…

What gets really old is having people dissect the description of events by a victim of a traumatic situation, and trying to say what did or did not happen and why it is not believable.

If you expand your view from music to rising stars in academia, business, bar trivia...anything you’ll be where I am. Gender violence is everywhere and yet I am gutted every a survivor comes forward. This fucking world.

I don’t think all drugs render one unconscious. I took two Adavan before a stressful gynecological appointment some years back at the advice of my GP. While I remember every minute of the appointment, after I left several hours are completely wiped from my memory although my friend was with me and said I was quite…

look into the story of Chloe Ayling. Also English. Also a very strange story that many people didn’t believe. But her captor was aprehended.

maybe this is just me, but I didn’t realize until I went and read her piece that this happened YEARS ago and that she is speaking about it now to explain a YEARS long absence from the public eye. I thought from reading the above that it happened like... months ago.

I had the same question, but reading her full piece it occurred to me that the assailant could be somebody she knew, so leaving with that person wouldn’t necessarily raise red flags.

Beginning to think there’s not one woman who, when you think about her and say, “Hm, her star was rising; I wonder what happened to her?” it’s not due to some form of sexual harassment or assault.

This is a nightmare of inexplicable proportions. First and foremost, I hope she is able to heal and recover (though I know that is unimaginably difficult), and is able to truly internalize (i.e., to know and feel) that no man worth her time would have any difficulty loving her because of this. Second, I hope they find…
