I think we should be concerned over how all animals in our care are treated, whether they are livestock or companion animals. In the case of the fur industry I think the animals suffer tremendously throughout their lives, in part because many of them are (captive bred) wild animals. Which makes a life of intensive conf…

There’s more to this story and it’s significant to consider before judging:

Pure jazz musicians have choice words about Glasper as well.  He’s not all he thinks he’s cracked up to be!  I am a musician from a family of musicians; 

This is pretty much directly in line with what people who have played with Hill on tour or in the recording studio have said about her for years. I remember a few years ago, one of her studio musicians on Miseducation... basically came out and said that the idea that she wrote and produced all the music on the record…

I’ve heard rumors that she is a batshit crazy asshole but what do I know??

I read an article recently about how unfairly Lauren Hill has been treated since Miseducation, and I was sort of floored that it never mentioned her own behavior. If anyone here is old enough to remember when it came out, and then waiting for her to do something....anything else afterwards, you might also remember…

Yeah, that irked me too. Just because she’s a woman, doesn’t mean she can’t be an asshole too. 

Why? Her album is great. Just not written by her. Diana Ross never wrote a song in her life. Aretha only wrote like 8-10. Gladys never wrote anything either.

It is not the not writing the music that is the issue. It is lying about it. Because here is the deal. Whoever gets writing credit gets the $$$ from the album…

She had to pay the musicians $5 MILLION for her bullshit. This stuff is common knowledge to black studio musicians. My son is in music school and she is spoken of as a cautionary tale in making sure you get credit for your work.

Dr. Lee is the best. I love her and used to watch her on you tube! That is all.

I would love to know how many people decrying racism on this board are actually of south asian descent like myself. Not all of us were/are offended. Some of us appreciated the inclusion 25 years ago when the rest of you white devils refused to even acknowledge our existence. Should the role have been recast in time?…

Because Vago is in the pocket of Big Chinese Raccoon Dog!

They were also part of that scandal several years ago, when coats with supposedly faux fur collars from China, that were widely for sale in the US, turned out to be real raccoon dog.

The ones in Japan are the lucky ones.

Nasty bully boy does not deserve another show.

I know this will stay in the grays, but what the fuck ever. Jesus, people, do you seriously believe that every. single. damn. woman who accuses a man of sexual harassment or assault is telling the truth? That no one ever makes a false accusation? Is it so fucking impossible that there are occasionally — just…

The problem that I think this movie is trying to highlight (I haven’t seen it yet tbh) is the unrealistic expectations a lot of women (myself included) are holding themselves to. Yes, Amy is actually very fit but it’s not her body type you see walking down the runway or shilling for Instagram (is that still a thing?).…

But at least Amy looks like that in real life too. It’s a TINY step forward for Hollywood.

That was my reaction - holy bunions batman!
