Disruption is not supposed to be polite or a popularity contest. It is supposed to cause discomfort. It is supposed to make it more uncomfortable to be anti-black than whatever sense of superiority white people get from being anti-black. If someone that benefits from the status quo loves what they do, they have…
I hate “creative” interview questions and I’m an actor but I panic at that stuff. Once when asked what kind of animal I would be I said “a porcupine...um....because they have a really good defense system”. They looked at me like I was going to straight up try to murder them.
Oh, oh! I got caught in a massive rainstorm waiting for the bus for my interview. Was mid-house move, so had no umbrella on my person (AND it was a sunny DC morning until the moment it wasn’t!). Myself and another bus-stop-waiter caught a cab together downtown. I was absolutely soaking, the kind of wet you get when…

I swam 1.3 kilometer this week. I’m happy with that.

Meth: not even once.
That documentary of his was wonderful. I can’t remember if it’s on Netflix or HBO, but either way, if you haven’t seen it, watch it! Bill is just so effing charming and truly of another era. I do feel sad for him though, he seemed to be struggling with his sexuality and therefore had never really had a close romantic…
I wish i could give you a negative star.
Wait what? Recess and Pepper Ann are what were waxing nostlaiga for? I came here for some Care Bears, Jem, My Little Pony (original), and those freaky claymation after these messages people:
I agree with your points about essentialising but not their application here. The vast majority of the criticism I’ve read has not been ‘Saldana is not black enough.’ This is line of argument has in fact been used by the producers and defenders of the film and non-POCs to silence the more nuanced points POCs, and in…
IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT.
.......Rachel Dolezal would’ve been great as Nina Simone......
I thought there were no people of color, Zoe Saldana??????
Honestly? I’m not sure #NotAllSoutherners is the go-to response here. Anyone of color living on this continent know full well that not all the racists are in the South.
That excuse only works if the chef is has equity in the business. Otherwise you’re working slave labor wages to fund someone else’s startup.
Promotion? Really.
