Can we all organize and write to JK Rowling to stop supporting Johnny Depp?! He should not be featured in the HP universe! For those that don’t know he had an unadvertised cameo in Fantastic Beasts, which will likely last through the next 4 movies. I know I wouldn’t have seen the movie if I had known he was in it, and…
Im really stoked about the ACLU getting that funding. Good on Heard.
Fuck you depp.
You’re not alone. My husband and son play legos for hours everyday. My brother buys kits to build and give away. I can only handle building if stoned tbh.
My mom likes to tell this story of my first or second Christmas. I was adopted so everyone tried to spoil me to make me feel welcome and all that shit. I pushed all of the toys to one side and crawled inside a box and squealed.
Both good choices, along with books
There are two answers for the 6 month old:
How old is he?
My kid is the first grandson and has an abundance of toys, yet he plays mostly with string, tape, paper clips and legos.
PM of Canada was born on Christmas, as was one of his two brothers. Is that close enough to count?
I get that, but I feel like “wokeness” (ugh) is like peeling away layers of an onion. I try really hard to empathize with my friends of color, but every once in a while they will say or experience something that I find shocking. And in response, I try to think about it, rather than denying it happened or getting…
Yeah, but doesn’t that apply to so many other things? Like poverty, disease, rape, tragedy. You don’t get it until it happens to you. That’s how humans learn. You don’t realize how devastating a cancer can be until it happens to someone in your family. Suddenly you want everyone to know the importance of early…
Except that according to the quote, she did know about and acknowledge her white privilege before. She is just saying that now it’s hitting home on a whole different level because it’s her child. This wasn’t a situation where she was blissfully, negligently ignorant before and she’s only deigning to care now because…
yes agreed. I don’t know why it’s bad to admit that you are affected differently when you realize it’s someone you directly love, that is in your heart your day your life in a way that maybe friends wouldn’t be. It’s truthful and human, why can we not admit that? Why do we have to debate the level of wokeness?
It is needlessly harsh. There are lot of white parents who have children who are POC as a result of interracial relationships or adoption. And it makes sense that those parents are concerned for their child’s safety.
My little brother is black. The rest of my family is white. Little bro is going to be black male aged 15-18 during the Trump presidency. In Indiana. It scares the holy fucking shit out of me.
Agree. Wow, is it not ok for her to adopt and worry about her child and encourage her? Snark where snark is due, please.
Confession: I am a white lady with a mixed race husband.
In 2011, Kristin Davis adopted Gemma Rose Davis. In 2016, Davis realized that her whiteness only protects her and not her daughter. Great.
