It used to be on Hulu, but I don’t think I’ve seen it updated in a while... same with Project Runway which makes me so sad.

That puts the rest of us pretty much at first-world poverty level.

...just really encouraging them

Ugh God. Did the full read, and I’m depressed. But also glad you brought the info. It’s better to know.

It’s an easy cover. Religion blinds so many followers that all these abusers have to do is say God forgives them or God wants us to “love” each other. And because most of the congregation are so entrenched in this Biblical theology that includes a lot of really awful characters sometimes even being favored by God,…

Instead, Dolezal states on her website, “All proceeds from sales on my website go directly to providing for the 3 coolest princes in my household (my 3 black sons)… just in case anyone was wondering.”

That was so refreshing to read.

Skimmed this as I am heading to bed, but thank you for your knowledge. Gonna re-read tomorrow and learn something.

Ya’ll need to follow Blind Gossip. He’s been next on the chopping block for about a month.

Well of course. This is me on the outside making assumptions as most people are, except for those who work in the industry who we rarely hear from. Now that you’re hear, share some insight.

Being damned is something people do not want to do. But every social change has involved damning. Blacks getting blasted away by fire hoses and beat to death, women starving themselves for suffrage, the Stonewall riots, just to name some obvious ones.

Well, I honestly thought the same thing—the women just don’t attend or create their own ceremony. I know it’s a gala and not like phoning your pals for dinner at the last minute.

The right thing to do would have been a total woman boycott of the awards.

Oh, sorry—I must have misread. But yeah. Jezebel is more like finding the diamond in the ruff. I don’t really consider it real journalism. It’s more like riding the tone of the times which has all kinds of repercussions. Like churning out click-per-snark with no actual insight.

These are fair points (aside from Tracy having a self-indulgent agenda, which is as much of an assumption of her motives as mine were of the exec).

Yes. I was head-shaking in my original post like, why state the obvious? I think I was responding more to the “tsk, here’s what they didn’t do” aspect of it all than here’s what they should do. And in what they should do, I absolutely agree with you.

Yeah, I said in my post, “I know that’s studio-head-speak for ‘will this make me money.’”

These have to be the end times.

I agree. And hell, she can nag if she wants to. What people call nagging (like we’re all 1950s moms who can’t push too hard or the man will implode from the pressure) is usually just plain old questions and common expectations.

There also blinds leading up to the election that an actress who acts like she’s all up in activism and getting out the vote actually wasn’t even registered to vote and/or was voting for Trump, but if anyone knew they’d lose all their fans.
