Ahhhh yes, Trevor Noah. The person who most likely had nothing to do with a tweet sent out by social media staffers. He is the true villain here.

I’m sure he’s not writing their tweets...

You couldn’t be more wrong. If he found someone striking, he would photograph them, whether they were wearing high fashion or a highly individual outfit with no labels. He photographed all ages, all backgrounds. He was interested in everybody. Watch the documentary so you at least know something about the person

Oh bugger off. He lived in NYC and shot fashion there, the stuff he liked. He didn’t have to like everything ever anywhere on the planet, nor shoot all of everything everywhere. It was not his job to make every human in NY feel pretty, nor every human on the planet to feel pretty. Sometimes (I know, it’s shocking)

Bill Cunningham by Janice Dickinson.

Like all New Yorkers I have Bill stories. He always covered events at my work. One of the best parts of working an event was greeting Bill (and the worst was watching thirsty women throw themselves in his path to get photographed*, something he clearly hated but was too much of a gentleman to comment on). One never

Genuinely saddened by this news.

This man was the last of a dead breed of gentle, unjaded, and genuinely curious people living in a brutal environment that long ago ceased being accommodating to the creative and imaginative. Yes, New York, I mean you. See you later, fine friend. Thanks for the mirror.

Knives aren’t only for murder and don’t have a monumental political machine ensuring people can be killed by them.

Just no words. Fuckin men and their hatred of women and their stupid fucking everything. Dear men, goddammit, just stop. Fucking stop it. Sincerely, a man who just don’t get it.

That’s interesting. The initial report I saw suggested they just asked to be recused and he granted it.

I was pleasantly surprised that they weren’t charged with contempt.

Finally someone has done the right thing.

so the defense is trying to perpetuate an idea that following sexual assaults, victims should live the rest of their lives denying their sexuality, desires and interest, dress “modestly” (so as not to “incite” another assault?!?) and subvert their sexuality, attractiveness, etc.? How dare people who have been sexually

I think his “childhood friend” has maybe had the hots for him forever and he totally ignored her. So her letter is a.) her getting out her anger that another girl—an UNCONSCIOUS girl—managed to get what she herself had always wanted, so of COURSE it’s that girl’s fault; and b.) I think she’s hoping he’ll see her as

Welp, the comments accompanying a bit of fluff about an adorable child dancing couldn’t not be rife with anti-Blackness and misogynoir, I guess. Super.

“anything remotely black”

Lauren, I hope you’ll ask this question of someone older than you, and preferably not white, so that you can get some kind of understanding, which you evidently lack, of Muhammad Ali’s place in the world, particularly what he did for the self-image of black children growing up during his time as an athlete. He changed

Awww, I feel like the only reasonable response upon meeting Ali would be to burst into tears. I would have done the same thing

Now playing

Was a bit surprised to see the news of Ali’s death followed by an Instagram photo of Kesha’s butt.
