I think they could have hinted at the tone a bit more. I noticed those things, but I thought the film was playing them fairly straight and that things would likely end in hugs rather than tears. It’s not like Hollywood doesn’t make blatant racial missteps while playing things totally straight (*cough*Aloha*cough*) or…

I don’t think the “white savior” label is accurate when describing this movie/the true story that inspired the movie. If you read up on the true events or even watch the documentary (which I highly recommend), you’ll see that, in a way, these events work to turn the “white savior trope” on its head, and send out a…

manager: how do we target those jaded, cynical people aged 29-40 with this ad?

Overfishing is not the only possible reason for a decrease in fish populations. Increased ocean acidification killing coral reefs (a source of food for many fish) and plastic debris working their way into the food chain are probably also big reasons.

It’d be a Muppets tie-in.

Can we send Limbaugh to Mars to double check?

It sort of seems like it. What 13 year old girl has really read a ton of literature to begin with, let alone feminist literature? I feel like an adult definitely wrote this, or at least guided it heavily.

What if she was diabetic and off her meds, would that be okay to talk about? Maybe we need to quit thinking about mental illness as a dirty little secret that needs to be hidden?

I agree with the kettlebells. I have been training kettlebell sport for about a year and a half now. My only regret is not doing it sooner. It helps if you have a good Coach/Trainer.

Oh, right, that was the big difference. If only she had been compliant, then when they stuck their fingers into her vagina for no reason it wouldn’t have been rape, it would have been consensual.

This is rape.

“I acknowledge that students have been hurt by this decision and I regret that,” Chelsen said.
