Thoughts on Viola's loss
zebablah:
First of all - YES. Meryl Streep is a great actress. Let’s set that straight.
But her long, varied career has been made possible because she is a blonde, white, reasonably attractive woman who is afforded the access, the luxury of having the pick of the litter when it comes to meaty roles. That, coupled with her obvious talent, has built up her career.
The tragedy of Viola Davis...

The Bechdel Test and Race in Popular Fiction
crystalsavestheday:
1. It has to have two POC in it.
2. Who talk to each other.
3. About something other than a white person.
No Joss Whedon show passes, neither does Supernatural, or Being Human.
Veronica Mars passes, but doesn’t pass the original Bechdel Test.

Ramble on Nicki

#Sigh
I was not always a fan of Nicki Minaj but I got put on a couple years ago…
After a while, I really did fall in love with her and her style because of how I felt she represented the working class Black girl aesthetic in a predominantly male arena…
I genuinely think she’s creative and I love all her goofy ass voices and how her words are sometimes...

Why?
Why must you be in the vicinity of girls that obviously want us?
Like, I really don’t get it. If they WANT it, then what’s the problem? It’s consensual. I’d never force a chick to have sex with me. They’re grown women they can make their own decisions they don’t need mommy telling them right from wrong.
But seriously question...
Woman: Can I have birth control?
Government: No.
Woman: I got pregnant because I didn't have birth control and I don't want the fetus. Can I have an abortion?
Government: No.
Woman: I gave birth to my child but since I wasn't expecting it, I can't afford daycare. Can I have help paying for it?
Government: No.
