She is so fricking gorgeous. That is all.

Her alternative was the white dude who wanted to bang her because he was attracted to her muteness. Let’s be real: anyone with a vagina can get dick. She found love with someone who she loved in return. That’s not settling. That’s that miracle most folks aspire to have. And the “only friends are marginalized” part?

I really, really liked it there. Everybody was super friendly. There’s a bit by The Kids In The Hall about being in the bar with the “drunk girl from Winnipeg” and I kept looking for a hint of THAT but didn’t stay late enough at any bars.

LULZ. I know. It’s. the only place in Canada I’ve been. I remember saying, “This is just like Minneapolis, without people getting shot.”

I was the only person jamming out during their set. I know all the words to the songs and all the teenyboppers were looking over at me like wtf. They hadn’t a clue besides maybe one song. It was not a good fit. I left before Perry sang Firework.

Just saw Purity Ring in concert, opening for Katy Perry (don’t ask). Voice was stellar, but homegirl’s performance was as wooden as a shack deep in the woods of Winnipeg. Hurt my whole heart.

Yeah, that pervasive culture of sexual exploitation seems to have, by osmosis, been transmitted from the hip hop world to the magic (David Copperfield) one, to non-profit radio and to a plethora of other industries! Russell Simmons is a faux guru rapist whose screen for his behavior was more “I’m a legendary,

Twenty years of teaching and I strive to keep my image off the Intertubz because of a fear of photoshopping shenanigans. Then out came the smartphones and the Snopchop and I’ve been faceswapped and memed and it’s all been in good fun. One day it won’t be, I suspect. I can just hear the local news broadcaster drone,

Rule of thumb: The second someone calls themselves an “empath”, stop listening.

This show is EVERYTHING.

Well, just so we’re clear then. Carry on.

That was savage!

You are giving me a textbook response.

And that bullshit is: “They treat black folks bad. Walk, don’t ride the bus.”

This woman has a proven track record of getting eyeballs to slap on the screen when she is on it. What Netflix is saying is that they neither care about that NOR the particular eyeballs that she attracts. Fuck all y’all that cannot see that. MY BLACK ASSED MONEY SPENDS THE SAME AS EVERYBODY ELSE’S. And since they

They mad that. a black woman has the temerity, the audacity, the muthufuckin unmitigated GALL to point out the obvious: it’s NOT bankability, it’s not marketability, it not “only color is GREEN”...it’s a system intent on getting away with treating the most marginalized like they’d better be goddamn grateful they’re in

I’m down for this Netflix boycott for precisely the reason Mo’Nique is saying. If we accept the pickle juice that’s all they’ll offer us. I’ve paid good American money to see this woman in concert and it was PACKED with chortling fans in our Sunday best. She’s a muhfucking Queen of Comedy and they’re treating her

My daughters got me into Halsey and I really, really appreciate this young woman. And she’s #blackgirlmagicking for all the mixed chicks like my kid, too.

My SO looks like a poor man’s Liam Neeson and went full clean pate a few years ago after I urged him to. I’m black and know that while most brothas look fine as hell bald, you really gotta see what shape head ya white man is working with. Like Wills, my man’s head wasn’t ideal for the sexybaldwhitedude look [see:

I’ll go even further and say “planned by her”. SHE was the seasoned vet pairing up with new, young hotness. That nipple ring was her Madonna/Britney/Xtina stunt gone awry. I’m actually shocked that JT has never just blurted out, “But she planned it!” in exasperation. I stan for Janet, but the reason she’s never
