As this stage of the Internet and social media ages, you are going to have to block, mute, and just overall CURATE your feed way more than you used to because so many strange behaviors have become digitally acceptable
Still of Simba climbing Pride Rock in the rain.
Loved this ep! I had to read How to Read Literature Like a Prof. back in 9th grade and the chapters re: Christ figures and rain as baptism/rebirth put me on the lookout for them everywhere. This moment of Simba being literally baptized into his Father’s spirit is what solidifies him as Jesus for me.
As a black person who was working in a newsroom, I will forever nurse my rage about watching white coworkers chuckle at Trump’s birther press conferences. From the jump, he was “asking” for President Obama’s walking papers. A direct line current police and violence. It was never a joke or gimmick.
I cannot overstate how important and incredible it was for Brandy to play Cinderella. To say nothing of her being THEE teenage icon Moesha. She was black America’s sweetheart — in addition to being the vocal bible.
It’s so funny you started your post with a black signifier tho and that is shade.
Gonna hold on to this croissant metaphor for the rest of my creative life
In that moment, you were the only person I was happier for than Michael B. Jordan himself.
Hearing Gaeilge spoken at the Oscars will always reduce me to tears in a flat second
Also, I’d argue that Michael B. Jordan actually plays three distinct roles in #Sinners. Two characters during the day, and then three at night.
I screamed so loud, I think my voice might be gone tomorrow
That’s right GET ON YOUR FEET!!!!!! EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!
I TAKE BACK EVERYTHING I SAID, I FUCKING LOVE THE OSCARS NOW THAT MICHAEL B. JORDAN WON!!!!!!
I COULD RUN THROUGH A WALL RIGHT NOW LET’S GO MBJ!!!!!!!!!!!
So happy for Autumn Arkapaw! She’s so talented.
A quick fact: Ryan Coogler has only ever worked with female cinematographers. His team represents the best of us.
Why isn’t Elizabeth Warren the Senate Minority Leader?
lmfao get wrecked
I know it’s difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you can’t Do The Work when you’re starving.
Don't be fooled by this bill's name-- this is a book banning bill that will exclude LGBTQ books from all public schools NATIONWIDE.
Call your congresspeople and tell them to VOTE NO on this nakedly bigoted book banning bullshit.

Man, they suuuuuuucccckkk
Notice that no one ever asks the child what they want.
Some children in Dilley were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, parents told ProPublica.
They said kids lost their appetites after finding worms and mold on their food, had trouble sleeping, and were constantly sick.
And similarly, somehow always chips away at what the state is required to provide to empower its citizens to live dignified lives.
I do not think the most significant cultural shifts will come from a World War, Class War, Race War, or whatever other battle people weirdly fantasize about. I think it’ll be an integration of the idea that children are people and not the property of their parents.
Is it possible that the reason we struggle to create a world that prioritizes the health and safety of every child is directly related to most adults (and parents) being formerly unprotected children, conditioned to make excuses, or be grateful for, the abuse and neglect they endured in childhood?
Protesters chanting "We're not cold, we're not afraid, Minne[apolis/sota] taught us to be brave" in Boston tonight outside Government Center station.
Two small children hold signs they made. "LEAVE MY FRIENDS ALONE!" "ICE GIT OUT YA FUCKIN DUMBIES 😡"
Gotta remind yourself not to cry when you see the kid's signs.
It's negative -25°F and tears are dangerous.
"LEAVE MY FRIENDS ALONE!"
"ICE GIT OUT YA FUCKIN DUMBIES 😡"
Hollllly moly, when it turns the corner. That is a lot of people.
My cousin texted me about ICE patrolling her apartment complex, and how a bunch of kids won’t go to the bus stop anymore. This is terror. And, as usual, the children will suffer most.
Nasra Ahmed, a 23-year-old US citizen, was arrested and detained by ICE. She was held for TWO DAYS.
ICE agents handcuffed her, called her a racial slur, and she was knocked to the ground so hard she got a concussion.
This cannot continue happening. ICE needs to leave.
