Your reply cracked me up! Thank you!

I don’t wear make-up and people don’t think I’m brave or cool or edgy. They do frequently comment on how tired I look.

About as much consideration as Teresa Halbach got in the Avery doc, I’d say.

“I’m gonna look back on this year as the best year of my life.”

Yeah. I figured as much. It’s a weird possessive trait that a lot of descendants of Holocaust survivors (and others that don’t) have. They are very protective of the word “genocide” that they get wrapped up in scale and method, even though it would be impossible for a WW2-style genocide to happen today.

When government officials call it an “extermination,” I think the term is appropriate.

how do you not infer what these things mean from the context

I am an old and I figured it out months ago. Just let go of your pearls, apply basic comprehension skills, and you’ll figure it out.

If you have to ask, you are neither, amigo.

OP said nothing about trans people, at all. caitlyn jenner has proven time and time again to be a right wing jerk who doesn’t care about anyone but herself and her politics are directly responsible for the harm of trans people.

Yes. And she refuses to call bombing people in an open air prison with sub-human sanctions a genocide.

Oh, do you “get” it? Because we “get” exactly what you’re complaining about: A Black woman daring to write about Black artistry! Choke on it.

What gives you the impression that “black culture” isn’t PART of America? And what about wanting to improve America (by making it a better place for more of its people to exsit in) is a rejection of it?

Just take a seat... or several. Solange may not be your cup of tea, but she works for many, many people.

Kara, this is fucking perfect. This is one of the best things you’ve ever written #onhere. This got me, a 39 year old black woman right in the gut:

Has Gabby showed up to anything since Rio with the girls?

Oh gawd is he creepy.

I think the implication is thatSwift is still exploring options, and Kidman was well committed in an incompatible relationship at a similar age.

That’s absolutely true. But it’s the direct connection that gets me. Writing a scene that is, by all accounts, extremely powerful and brings you into the perspective of the woman raped and makes you feel her anguish, when he himself did that.

It’s a made up story/movie about children with superpowers who live on an island in a time loop, managed by a woman who turns into a bird and the thing you find unbelievable is that people of color existed in the UK in the 40's?! Oooooookay.....
