Respectfully, Ms. M, women who look like Beyoncé did not elect Trump. Women who look like *us* did. We need to get our white ladies in line before we ask women of color to mobilize yet again to save our asses in a system where they are not nor have ever been treated equally.

My favorite was: "Matthew McConaughey did amazing work this year. For his role in Dallas Buyers Club, he lost 45 pounds. Or what actresses call, 'being in a movie.’

Yes but also I bet your body RIGHT NOW is good enough for 75 year old you to someday be like "I was a hot lil ticket." Love your late 30s self! Get naked!!!!
Is “Your Song” the most unromantic song? “Here are jobs I could do. Yeah, you can brag about this being about you (even though I’ve only talked about myself) because that’s the sort of thing I know is important to you. Ugh, songwriting is hard. PS - I don’t know your eye color.”
@roo_jenna
You know you did wrong. You know it wasn’t Christlike. You may not know how stupid you sounded telling her not to curse after saying horrible, shameful things to her, but maybe someday you’ll grow & learn.
You saw fit to bully a woman 1/3 your age. I pray you learn compassion.
Also, my dress is doing a lot of the heavy lifting but my vintage earrings from my Mom (that I think were my Mimmaw’s) and my mask from Jen Williams are the secret weapons
Y’all so incredulous that a middle aged fat woman hurt her knee playing basketball, immabout to start saying I twisted it during a particularly energetic cake eating incident just to watch you nod sagely.
@roo_jenna
Bonnie Sue, I hope you read this. You probably are feeling a bunch of emotions after that interaction and you’re calling them all righteous anger, but they aren’t. You know it by the way you acted caught the second you finished bullying her and walked out of the bathroom. (1/2)

You are correct. It depends. It especially matters when a character is a) human; b) located in a specific, named region or area; and c) in a cultural group whose traditions, beliefs or rituals are depicted in the work. So, a black woman in New Orleans? Yes. A mermaid? No.
(They HONESTLY could have taken me ANYWHERE)
I am now in another smaller waiting area that I am thinking of as “backstage”
NGL we are crammed in a bit but I! Am! Staying! Hopeful!
(And masked and as far from others as possible)

The Beats were mostly a bunch of drugged-out assholes who took money from girls and then left them because they didn’t consider them real people.

Maybe try reading it again? To me it seemed like a very straightforward “I can’t stand the guy BUT he is performing a necessary and valuable function and is NOT right wing.”
@MaryHeglar
As a married, I think it's completely appropriate to ask me that if I ask you about dating. We can be good like that. My friends ask me and I tell them.

This is absolutely true. If people can get to wellness visits, they are less likely to need emergency care down the line. And it works like that in several spheres.

I'm an 8 and we got married at a dive bar in my hometown that my friends own! We ate bbq in the parking lot, and instead of cake there was sweet potato pie made by a man who punched out a white supremacist on local television when I was a kid. It RULED.
GOD I loved this costume. Swipe through to see the level of detail and care Barak took with the special-ordered French fabric!! Huge thanks to Kasia and her incredible squad!!!
@rachsyme
WELL.
I don’t know where I got the nerve.
I looked up at that tree of a man & said “Adam, sweetie, if you need a hug, you can just say so!”
Then! He mock hung his head with a lil pouty lip & nodded. DIVINE. I got like 8 more hugs in!

I won’t forget the first time I saw Antonia Rey onscreen. It was in the movie of HAIR, a VHS copy I bought with my own money in 1988. She only had one scene & I found her absolutely captivating. Her straight-faced wink was the first moment I ever rewound to watch the technique.
My girl had a date the other night and they stayed out drinking late and parted ways late at night, and dude sent her breakfast in the morning. 15 of the ballerest dollars ever spent.
SPOILERS!
Still feeling floaty & happy about the finale of
#MrRobot
. As a fan,
I was deeply satisfied by the conclusion. As a cast member, I couldn’t be more proud of what my friends have accomplished with this show. I am proud and weepy today. Goodbye, friend. Hello, Elliott.
Not to take away from all the other stuff that’s going on, but 7 years ago today, I almost died. It was pretty close. But instead, I’m kissing the man who held my hand in the hospital and going to the park for a workout. Every year is a victory. I gotta remember that.
@Muna_Mire
I should also acknowledge that I, as a young white woman stealing food from art openings, had the advantage of being seen as a harmless aspiring artist. I am not sure that a black person of my age filling their pockets with free cheese would have been offered wine to go with it
This week I conducted my first-ever line of questioning at an Oversight committee hearing, which focused on the skyrocketing costs of pharmaceuticals.
Here’s what happened ⬇️
I was literally at a bar across from Studio 54 tonight and am FURIOUS I wasn't wearing my Bisexual team jacket to take a picture for the occasion. Also, go see

Hey, white actors: if you’re being asked to play white supremacists more often than you used to, YAY! It’s because the stories of non-white people are finally being centered by the industry, & history dictates that a lot of white folks in those stories are racist.

For me, it’s the moment of silence at :20 where she realizes nobody is on her side so she starts screaming SO LOUDLY and then charging at her assault victim
Here's the entire interview with
@kimlatricejones
and David Jones Media. Take a second to watch the whole thing because she makes even greater points throughout the entire interview than she does in the viral clip that is circulating. Her Monopoly comparison is spot on.
Incredible story captured by

in Alabama of a farmer who lost his gay daughter to suicide at the age of 23. Filmed outside of a Roy Moore event.

Oh, you think the people should have a voice? Like the 69% of Americans who want stricter gun laws?
I find this desire for the voice of the people a bit disingenuous from someone who touts her work on the “Red, White, and Fuck You Show”. Doesn’t sound collaborative to me

Cinderella is human, and is probably in France, but that area is not named and the rituals of the story (the ball, the glass slipper) are stylized and heightened and not specific to one cultural group.
They were talking about their favorite bodega breakfast sandwiches at one point and with one move he demonstrated:
A) listening skills;
B) generosity without strings attached;
and
C) creativity.
Bravo to this man.
If these social media algorithms are so smart, why am I still seeing ads for makeup and weight loss instead of for steel-toed boots, axes, plane tickets to DC, and correspondence courses in abortion doctoring?
@rachsyme
At least 2 of those hugs made it in.
At one point we were moving on from when he shows up at my house, repositioning the cameras inside to catch us entering the house and Spike said “take it from the walk” and Adam was like “how about we start from the hug?”
