both the linked articles are some white savior bullshit. if you are not fully problematizing the fact that this chic had a hand in “creating modern Iraq” and instead attributing it to her like she is some gracious lady badass then that is some orientalist shit.

they are also wrong for 5 years and eventually that thing is true. eventually most celebrities will get married, pregnant, or divorced, so you risk little by saying it for 5 years until it happens.

I have zero things against flip flops as a shoe (although I think women get away with wearing them way more than men do in non-beach places) and appreciate everything about growing up in Northern California where it was totally acceptable to wear flip flops with everything at least through college—but this dude is…

I thought it was the least surprising departure ever

i think the WIN is for men everywhere, not the assumption that they all do it.

Kay. You know so much about me. Enjoy the anger

You’ve got so many feels about this and i was just clicking on an article about Tay. My point still stands with the word “concert” added in front of “photography”. Lots of people take candid shots and they don’t look professional, and celebrities don’t choose to use them. I might personally think photos of fruit bowls…

so photography isn’t an art form? why doesn’t she have her bouncer take photos with his iphone and post those on instagram? photos are a HUGE part of why anyone is famous at the Tay Tay level—it’s the essence of how they are portrayed.

but they were paid, and it sounds like in this case the photographer said he isnt paid if they dont use the photo.

THESE ARE THE WORST. I never joined a sorority and I’m not going to act like I’m in one when I’m a grown ass adult.

you can decline, but doesn’t that strike you as sad? that you have to decide whether you’re going to base whether you can participate in someone’s life by how much money you are willing to spend? as you get older, you dont expect gifts from everyone on your birthday? you still invite them to spend time with you…

Kudos to the family or friends who took this video of what looks like not a thing the bride wants to remember and shared it on the internet. Classy

then again your wrong on what’s happening and what an occupation is.

naw, it would have still been problematic. you don’t get to try race on like a costume, and then just decide you’ll keep it.

OMG Joe and the Volcano. thank you for taking me back

the whole point is that these aren’t gift parties. there’s no party. just gifts.

“There’s a reality to correctional officer/inmate interactions,” Yes. it’s called rape. The fact that this show takes sexual violence in prison/detention and shows it as this consensual sweet thing and that Jezebel isn’t like “WTF” since so much of it’s writing is about rape and taking down victim blaming in all…

cheesy and cliched. the writing doesnt give them much to work with and makes them seem like way worse actors than they are. I was pretty disappointed. I actually disagree and think that Lily Tomlin overacts the whole way through delivering pretty cheesy lines.

it looks like they mostly take issue with the fact that people are reporting the average instead of the median, but that the average is still pretty damn high.
