The looks thing is an issue because Zoe Saldana looks NOTHING like Nina Simone, and SO MUCH of Nina Simone’s work was specifically about her experience as a dark-skinned and not conventionally beautiful black woman. So in this Hollywood version, hiring a Hollywood-beautiful, lighter skinned black actress is a problem,…

My eyes are permanently lodged in eye roll position after reading Jemima’s tweet.

I’m sorry, but you can’t pay a millenial anything decent, because they’ll just spend it on artisinal mayonnaise, vinyl copies of 90s albums, rainbow flag bandannas, and marihuana cigarettes.

He looks hotter in the before. What can I say? I like a sad, withered shell of a man with a 5 o’clock shadow and up all night eyes.

She has had other interviews and has definitely said those kinds of things. We aren’t just making it up, you know.

She would have been perfect.

Yes, they act as if those people were spineless instead of realizing how much courage it took to keep it together so you could take care of your family and community.

I don’t know if I would have made it during segregation. my mouth and passion about having my rights would have been the death of me.

That’s what sickens me. It’s bad enough when this kind of thing happens at a general community rally/speaking event. But at a school? These students are supposed to be learning how to best serve their communities and participate in the political process, and all they learned tonight is how to endure racism, which…

Anybody else not watching because the entire enterprise is bigoted from stem to stern? I’ll start. Yes: me.

Usually I like Alicia Vikander’s picks, but I can’t stop thinking prom dress when I look at that thing.

If Sony wanted to help Kesha, they could put enough pressure on Dr. Luke to make it happen. Parent companies have a lot of direct and indirect control over their subsidiaries.

It wasn’t...until she decided to joke around about it so that everyone else could know. If you want to air sexist assumptions in public, people may end up having opinions about them.

Like I said, half the time I agree with her. I wouldn’t say all her comments are meant to be controversial, either. But she’s a smart woman. There’s no way I buy that she didn’t realize that flippantly and humorously talking about gender selection wasn’t going to cause an uproar. That doesn’t make the people who say…

About half the time I agree with Chrissy about whatever sort of trouble she stirs up* but it’s kind of tiresome that intentionally being controversial on Twitter is basically her job and her way of staying publicly relevant and she acts like it’s so exhausting every time it happens. It’s not an accident that this…

God, isn’t it sad that even with a job that is stereotypically thought of as a woman’s job (what children’s book has a male librarian, am I right?), we’re only now getting a woman in the highest position for it?

He’s fucking terrible. Indiana (right fucking next door, Kasich!) did this kind of shit, and now they’re trying to deal with an outbreak of STDs.

What a cutie!

Completely agreed. And I also hope that she realizes the class (and celeb) privilege that is shielding her from the kind of struggles most trans people in the US have to deal with.

Caitlyn Jenner SHOULD get more shit for her beliefs than her gender identity, since her beliefs are stupid, and she had basically nothing to do with being trans. So, yay, if that’s the way it’s going down for her.
