I made it clear in my post that as a man in this situation, I can’t know the experiences of a black woman.

Ever hear of Punk? Hip Hop? Folk? The IWW’s Little Red Songbook? “We Shall Overcome”? Freedom songs? Protest songs?

The question people like you literally alway fail to ask concerns how many white dudes are ALREADY THERE. And how long the tech department has been ALL WHITE DUDES. And if - no, when - people like you insist that the reason it has been like that for ALL THAT TIME is because white dudes are the only ones who were…

People of color are expected to never ruffle any white feathers, right and left wing alike. I know plenty of progressives who would have been pissed off about this.

Haligonian here (that’s what people from Halifax are called). A couple of things:

When was the last time white people were cool with the ways POC chose to reclaim spaces? Yes, sometimes inviting POC to come up front means that white people miss out on the optimum experience they feel entitled to. Yes, sometimes you might be asked to consider yielding prime territory to someone who might need it…

Shoutout to this patch for including a lefty, too.

They don’t have to move up. It’s creating a space so that if women of color feel uncomfortable in the back, they can move up. If they get attacked while moving up front after the performer calls on people to let them do so, I can’t imagine what will happen to them in the back of the venue where they are even less…

Then they can stay where they are, and that’s fine. She is not forcing anyone, obviously.

I’ve been to her shows before. It’s not awkward. It’s actually kind of a beautiful moment, and it totally connects with the music she performs. And I’m saying this as someone who had to move back. What we’re seeing is an artist getting newer fans after a surprise (totally deserved) Polaris prize win, who’re unfamiliar…

If people of color are expected to never ruffle the feathers of every right wing publication there will be no progress.

“Hurting my feelings is the real racism.”

The right wing was able to create a fuss about a black First Lady encouraging kids to exercise and eat vegetables. If the right wing’s gonna be a whiny baby person, then the right wing can go fuck itself.

That’s the worst Dolores Umbridge costume I’ve EVER seen. She didn’t even get the hair color right.

To be fair, a teacher who enjoys bringing science to young kids is the scariest thing Betsy could imagine.

This is the only character she has any business dressing as:

Keep trying Jezebel, I’m not going to hate Kristen Bell, and don’t know why you think I should.

That list is a little out of date...

Nobody said he was British.

Don’t forget Maurissa Tancharoen, Jed’s showrunning partner-in-crime!
