In theatre, both professional and community levels, it’s amazing how “Acting is about talent, not look” is used to justify a white person playing a POC role, but as soon as a POC is cast or even just auditions for a white or non-specified role, it's all "They just don't have quite the right look" and "Suspension of…

White people flip shit when an entirely fictional character isn’t white. Seriously, test a black Spider-Man or a Latino Batman and see what happens.

*stares at you* Did I, at any point, enshrine the song as a beloved Christmas staple that should be sung with gusto every single Christmas season? No. It’s odd. It’s worn out. It shouldn’t pop up as much as it does. I’m not trying to advocate for it to be kept around, I am trying to give you context to the lyrics. It…

Okay, do you get why she’s saying no? They’re basically reherasing what they’re going to say to people and

Alright. Let me sit you down and tell you a thing. So “Baby It’s Cold Outside” was written in 1944 and it’s about a man and a woman discussing ways they can spend the night together because they are unmarried and doing so back then would be hugely disastrous socially for the woman. They come up with excuses they can…

I don’t think it’s “normal” or “decent” to try to get someone drunker than they might want to be without their knowledge. Not a “funny prank” to play on a potentially pregnant woman, or someone on medication, or the night’s designated driver...

I’m almost sad I know this, but they were never married (Tom and Bridget). It’s just that she got pregnant right at the end of the relationship and didn’t know it until a month or two later when he had started dating Gisele.

I have a friend who refers to her stepmom as a bonus mom because she thinks “stepmother” conjures up images of Disney villains. I think Gisele is one of the most annoying celebs out there, but she may be trying to do something similar? I dunno.

KARA, NEW RIHANNA

He even looks good in questionable pants and a blurry picture. GOD MADE THIS ONE ON PURPOSE.

<3 for this lady. A woman after my own heart - not rain, nor sleet, nor hail, nor bigoted idiots will keep me from my book.

She wasn’t married; he was. This is on him.

About that bit of untruth about Black people being the reason that Prop 8 happened in California: Black people are nowhere near the majority there, so it is simply impossible. Also: Not all Black people are religious. Not all Black people are homophobic. Some Black people are LGBT themselves. One thing we all have in…

Beyond appointing two of the five majority-opinion justices and promoting acceptance and equality across many aspects of our culture? Then yes, I agree, the guy did practically nothing.

Has to be one of the most handsome Presidents I've ever seen. Ever.

This. I wasn’t left, at least not in the sense MLP was, but I spent my pregnancy alone. The worst part was going to my prenatal appointments and being labeled as “at risk” because I had no friends or family. I went to my birthing classes alone. My now-husband was there for the 3D ultrasound and for most of the labor…

Please, he ran away when things got real. And he had a young woman waiting, with open arms and open legs. Let’s not romanticise or explain away what is one of the more crappy things you can do to another person. I mean, really.

I saw her in a play fairly recently, and she broke my heart. She does a really good job of staying just this side of charming-quirky and not Zooey-quirky, and I think has a great depth that you don’t necessarily see at first.

Cue the comments because you’re essentially making her responsible for what he did. She’s not. She could have said you know, this is not the time, but what good would that have done really? MLP still would have just been dumped while pregnant. The hurt still would have happened, she just would have preserved some…

I don’t know. If Billy Crudup was Jordan Catalano, I can see Angela Chase being Claire Danes in this scenario.
