Don’t lump as all in there. Episcopal and us methodists are big on social justice. We haven’t quite come around on GLBT issues yet, but we’re sure as hell working on it.

Added to this: the trademarking of ordinary sentences? Is this the apex of greed? It puts her in the same class as Trump.

Right? I’m not sure how one can trademark a saying that is a rip-off of someone else’s already copyrighted work...

I was too young then too and recently tried. I found the formula grating after an episode, and her black roommate was really just there to prop her up. Maybe it got better but I couldn’t keep watching.

And the idea it makes hair shinier, he says, “is just a myth.”

Now do one on kombucha. Unless you did and I missed it! I have friends that act like it’s a cure-all for everything. We’ll live forever and have world peace if everyone would just drink kombucha. And sip bone broth. That too.

Finally listened to LWYMMD from beginning to end on the car radio yesterday (I’ve been actively avoiding it). Jeez. What a terrible terrible song. Aside from being musically bad (like really bad), the content is reprehensible. Why does she make herself a victim? She lied and tried to use her white girl-ness to bury…

It’s like she and Katy Perry decided to have a suck off and not the fun kind. I do kind of like the beat though. The synths would sound better with another singer’s voice.

I like Taylor Swift’s music (whatever, I’m a 20 something white girl) and no, this song is not good. Taylor needs to stay in her lane and not try to rap.

That was my thought as well. Stay in your lane, Taylor.

yeah no..... it’s not great. i’m embarrassed for her actually, it’s worse than Iggy and that’s saying a lot.

And it’s okay!

Funny, I was going to say she reminded me of Bethenny Frankel.

To be fair, Bethenny Frankel is a sociopath, so I’m not entirely confident in her ability to psychoanalyze.

As an ABC (American-born Chinese), I 100% believe it that her name change improved her chances of being chosen for a role. There is still a disturbing amount of racism aimed at Asians in the US.

You should’ve posted this on Jezebel. Everything you talked about is precisely why I don’t touch that trash heap anymore.

I said it once, I’ll say it again;

“‘We can find inspiration in the Black Lives Matter movement, the women who marched in the Women’s March in January, and especially Heather Heyer, who died fighting for her beliefs in Charlottesville,’ he said before introducing Heyer’s mother, Susan Bro.”

It really bothers me that she’s surrounding herself with people of color but then never actually speaks up about what’s going on in the world (a lot). It’s classic POC as props.

IDGAF about Taylor Swift. I only came here to lurk and say that while Fireball may not be great - it is FAR from terrible. Have you every tried the Jim Beam equivalent? THAT is terrible.
