1.) The whole “theme” of the video is that it’s a what 30s/40s movie shoot. Unfortunately, that means black directors or film crew workers would have been non-existant anyway.

You guys do realize that it is only bad luck to call Macbeth by its name when you are actually in a theatre. Calling it “The Scottish Play” in a comments sections makes zero sense.

I recently had a really awesome, productive meeting where we accomplished a lot that I think will have a genuine positive impact on our community. Just the productive meeting part is so fucking rare. So, I said that it was the most productive meeting I’ve ever had. And a female judge who was in the meeting said “well,

I am completely of the opinion that if the governments of the world were led by a majority of women, there would be far less war, hostility, and suffering.

Look, let’s face it. Men are far too emotional to be trusted with the power of governing things.

That cover picture is ultimate squad goals

I absolutely cannot wait. I will slay bitches to be at the front of the line for this one.

God. Yes. God. Yes. GOD! YES! YES YEEESSS!

Seriously. I don’t wear make-up to look good for THE MENZ, sorry. I wear it cuz I like it, and also because I prefer not to look like a twelve year old who hasn’t slept in ten years.

God I am really hoping this film ushers in a new era of Shakespeare films. Been too long!

I’m a feminist who is constantly talking about the patriarchy and sexist ideas of acceptable femininity. . . but this would piss me right off.

Not to mention that fact that Germany has displayed far more collective contrition for their sins than Japan has for theirs. Wasn’t there a recent prime minister who basically denied the rape of Nanking and the taking of “comfort women”?

Will my nightmares help him in any way? I listen to residential school survivor stories on a regular basis, which is haunting enough. I’ll suffer to help the living but I can’t help the dead.

I actually said to a Jewish friend recently about what the Japanese did to the Chinese and I said that Japan was just as horrible as Nazi Germany and he said “well I wouldn’t go THAT far”. So I showed him a picture of a pile of beheaded Chinese heads in Nanking and he quickly shut up.

Mine too! In AP US History. I bet it’s not much different now. There are still people who are like, well, you know, the US did what it had to do, and it was *nothing* like a concentration camp, no sireebob. Mental note to take my kids to Manzanar.

I want to see this argument roll out in a current situation: "Well, yes officer, I did kidnap this person, but I have been treating them very well. Well, yes, they've been doing all my chores for me and sure, if dinner isn't on the table at 6 a beating is in order, but I put this roof over their head. Well, yes I do

Likewise as a Canadian I learned about the holocaust in the most graphic detail, but heard hardly a word about residential schools despite being on first nations territory. Not trying to qualify one or the other, obviously, but clearly there’s a preference across north America to discuss certain events over other

I’m not surprised. I’ve been talking about this with my husband because I’ve been doing my own reading more recently. I was raised in south jersey right outside of Philadelphia and slavery seemed to be mostly glossed over. What I do remember is a lot of education surrounding the Underground Railroad or the events

Just limit it to the rude customers. I had to stop going to a coffee place near my old office because I’d convinced myself I was allergic or something to some ingredient they were using - every time I stopped there instead of making my own coffee at home, I ended up with a wicked headache for the rest of the day.
