I understand that you are trying to encourage a healthy discussion/debate. It feels like what is getting pushed aside in this thread, is how painful it is to be very profilific and valuable contributors to the culture and still consistently being overlooked and oppressed by that same culture. I don’t think most here…

You write that you are not an American, so I’m not sure you if you have all the context you would need to understand the crux of Kara’s beautiful piece. It may seem silly, but it’s not just about a slang word, she is saying that black Americans are invisible to white Americans. Believe it or not, it’s just another…

You are an articulate saint. Thank you.

That was funny and accurate as hell. 🌟🌟🌟

I loved the Kaptain K and R.R., but Mr. Rogers’ was my jam. Loved how the opening scene always had the same sweater/shoe change predictability. Fred Rogers is a national treasure. The Teletubbies is thought to be a wonderfully paced show for developing minds of young children. They always have the ‘again’ and re-play…

The criticism in the early childhood field is that Sesame Street is a kid’s show with adult pacing.

Interesting. I work in the early childhood field and the criticism has long been that Sesame Street is too fast paced for most young children. I wonder if the shorter attention span of children today (if this is actually a real phenomenon) is something we should be playing towards.

Hilarious. I choked on my wine.

More like a dress? More gender fuck?

I am very sorry about your brother. I feel like some of the respondents to your post were coming down rather hard on you. It seems like with the delicate subject matter it would have been prudent for them to take a minute and approach more softly, in the event that you were commenting based on a personal experience…

I know. I was all, “do I have to not like you anymore, Parker Posey?” Especially when she was asked on the “WTF” podcast if Dylan’s allegations factored into her decision. She replied something to effect of ‘Nope, not at all.’ Ugh; soul crushing. It was almost like she had signed some kind of NDA in order to appear in…

Nope. I stand by my previous position.

You can be mad as hell that they’re doing it, but unless you are using an extremely literal definition, it’s not really cultural appropriation. Cultural appropriation typically involves members of a dominant group exploiting the culture of less privileged groups. It would be hard to argue that the Catholic Church…

Please tell me you are being sarcastic. Cultural appropriation of Catholics is not a thing.

Sweet. Thanks for responding! I will make the purchase!

I'm currently drinking whiskey on the rocks from a cafe au lait bowl. Do any of you use those portable dishwashers that connect to the sink? Do they work? I rent, I work hard, I hate doing dishes. Help!

Hahaha. You’re not doing it right. I’ve seen your posts all over SNS tonight, you just sound troll-y. So if you really are a feminist, I suggest you re-examine. Feminism isn’t about being “right.” It’s about making room. I suggest reading some discourse on intersectionality.

Yassss!

Goal 3!
