Whew. Some of these comments are pure trash.

White folks have already started in with the “complicated legacy” shit. Yes the same people that make excuses for all the rotten shit white folks do are choosing today to shit on Kobe. To all the white women and men trying this shit not today and on second thought not ever again after 11/8/2016. When you mother…

“Maybe 2020 will be the year we remember that you can simply sip from the lip of a cup”

Some STRONG hate in these comments. Good lord, y’all.

I watched her Instagram tour and the pure happiness and joy that she and Offset had while walking around that house is infectious and adorable. While I’m sure to all of the high end art collectors here the house is tacky, these are two kids (neither is even 30) who…

There are many things wrong with the US; “artist makes money” is not one of them.

It’s funny to me (not really) how these types of Black men who accuse powerful Black women like Oprah of anti-Black male bias for calling out misogynistic behavior by prominent Black men (e.g. Simmons, Bill Cosby and R. Kelly) never show compassion for their victims, who’re are almost always Black women.

“Similarly, it’s hard to imagine how a small rental service will help address “environmental concerns,” as the BoF piece suggests. A 50-garment trial period in one of the world’s wealthiest countries doesn’t seem like it will do much to offset the effects of H&M’s contributions to the ongoing crisis of…

I’ve done ivf. While I was going through that, I followed a bunch of ivf hashtags on instagram. There are a LOT of people who want a child more than anything in the world. The intensity of their desire, desperation, pain, hope, panic, grief, happiness was shocking sometimes. I've gone through many of those emotions…

I had a baby via IVF and my brother adopted at about the same time. Their process took almost two years from start to the baby’s adoption, another six months for it to be finalized.

Have you ever considered that a person can be liberal/progressive as hell but unable to act on it to the extent wished? The president, as evidenced by the circus currently going on in DC, is not a king. If he’s going to get anything done he needs Congress behind him — and Congress was NOT behind him for most of his…

Well, folks: there’s always Peter Pan!

Mean Moms would be a good movie because you grow up and get out of high school, and you think the mean girl shit is over, then you have a baby. And holy shit, you realize the mean girls never grew up. Except now they are insinuating that you're poisoning your baby by using formula.

Popcorn is actually pretty healthy though- it’s wholegrain and light in calories compared to similar snacks. 

This is a stultifyingly bad take esp that straw man take down. The policing of taste always has and always will be classist for very obvious reasons. Socioeconomic class is one of the strongest factors in structuring taste. This also applies to other aspects of identity- e.g. romantic films (“chick flicks”) or romance…

Anytime someone starts talking about what’s is and isn’t “art,” it’s a pretty big tell that most everything they’re about to say is biased/bullshit. And in the end, I think a lot of it ends up boiling down to classism. Look at the performing arts and imagine the arguments they’d have to make to make the same…

They are art. Why are we having this conversation in 2019? You know the films you think are art, people like yourself used to think they weren’t art, and it took a lot of writing and research to convince others that they were. This was almost 90 years ago.

Shakespeare’s plays were not considered art at the time, but…

You forgot to mention how he stays away from casting minorities too. These old guys have such a narrow perspective on what makes a good movie and which stories are moving, enlightening and interesting. They obviously can’t be bothered to cast non-white actors or explore stories that includes female and minority leads.…

I hate “art” talk because it’s usually coded bullshit.

Doing the same thing for 40 years is neither original nor artistic (by their supposed definitions). That’s not necessarily bad! It just makes you a hypocrite when you complain about the proliferation of other, similar stories/genre.

Every form of art has low art and high art. Marvel films aren’t high art but they’re not pretending to be. I totally respect that Marvel isn’t Coppola or Scorsese’s cup of tea (who expected it to be?), but they sound like wankers by insisting only the high art in film counts as film at all. That’s like saying the…
