I finished grad school this week! And . . . No one has done anything. Actually one friend gave me a gift card for a massage. But that’s it. No card or flowers from my husband. No donuts at work. Nothing from my parents. I’m not expecting a Rolex or anything but I’ve been working on this for three years. Cmon people!

Well, here’s how these conversations feel as a person of color. A white person reaches out to you sometimes - as the only POC that they know. “Hey, can you explain this one thing to me?” Like, I’m Mexican-American, so they might say, for example, “Hey, can you tell me why people think Speedy Gonzales was a negative…

While I agree Cho’s characterization is off, Tilda is also missing the mark in these emails. Tilda is benefiting from the whitewashing of a character, but won’t look at the historical significance of this because she personally doesn’t feel that way. As a person of color, that is definitely one of the most aggravating…

This makes Margaret Cho look pretty astonishingly two-faced, tbh. Which is about the last thing I could imagine Margaret Cho being accused of. Maybe she felt like she had to be nice to Tilda because she didn’t know her well, and as she gained distance from the conversation she started to resent that she was put in a…

My favorite part of the Drumpf Grille piece:

“She could have been President, guys.”

This is what truly pains me. I mean, Trump being a bigoted, flailing idiot who bought all of his “accomplishments” with the wealth he was born into, who has no business being president given his cluelessness and incompetence, and more than anything needed someone to tell him “no” so he could finally mature past the…

Can we start a go fund me for Donald and the transition team to get the entire collection of West Wing?

It should have been her. How many times can I say it to make it come true?

I really wish people would stop treating racism and misogyny as “a different side of an issue” or as a “different point of view”. Not every topic has two valid sides. If you’re talking about child molestation, you don’t go out and find people who believe molesting children is totally ok and treat them the same way as…

So a couple of things: If you and your family don’t want to live in the White House then maybe don’t run for President. Also, I know that it is normal for Secret Service to secure the president, no matter where he is staying but the idea of the US Government paying the president as part of protecting the president is…

Does anyone else find it ironic that Shade Court has become a bright spot in the world? Anyway it’s awesome.

Jesus, I am so sorry.

Kanye has low-key over the years discussed legitimate mental health issues. I am not somebody who dismisses Kanye as ‘crazy’, but he’s been reasonably direct about it. For all his antics he is still a person, and I hope he’s ok.

You’re funny. Expenses only matter if the President is black. Because black people shouldn’t have better vacations than Jim-Bob-Rural-White-Voter.

I trust that all the conservatives who complained about the expense and inconvenience every time the Obamas visited Hawaii will be up in arms.

The cognitive dissonance is astounding. Just tremendous, I tell ya.

What’s weird is that she’s a minority. Does she think these people won’t purge her too?

Buuuut Tila isn’t white...I’m so confused.

Well, to be fair, a Republican asking for the theatre to be a safe space does kinda make sense. Their history with the medium is a bit wobbly.
