Jenny, I love your character on "House of Lies" and am amped to see you in "Obvious Child," was it scary to create your own film in comparison to being part of a television cast like HOL or did it free you somehow? Read more

Yeah, season two is fine with pointing out Piper's navel-gazing and throwing pie at her for it. I can imagine how reading just Piper's perspective would probably make you want to tear your hair out, especially if you're active in social justice/research in that arena. She's the worst, but somehow I don't want her to…

Patti and Aretha are REALLY hard acts to follow. I once saw Aretha threaten to walk off-stage if the sound man didn't acquiesce to her demands mid-performance, all the while she was over her set time and thoroughly poaching Chaka Khan's set which was after hers. It was epic and she was dead serious.

Ehn, as long as the hashtag journalism leads to action, it works. The problem is when people just tweet and bow out after 140 characters. In this case, hashtag activism was helpful, though the ramifications of that help is debatable. I think it was a good thing, it's just that now, I, for one, am not sure exactly what… Read more

Right? Who knew the lyrics were so stalker-ish? I was surprised. Read more

Ehn, I think you just have to fit what you want to do in your ceremony with your beliefs because as first wave feminists say, the male gaze and patriarchy are ALWAYS looming. I just got hitched and did what I felt was right for me and I felt fine as a feminist. Read more

Thanks for your thoughtful response! Hm, but if throwing off the yoke of your skin color means bleaching your skin — thereby internalizing and accepting the colorist/racist ideas that brought you to the skin bleaching aisle at the pharmacy aisle in the first place — are you really getting free? I'd imagine just… Read more

Yup, that makes sense in light of KiaJD's words and the lack of black frat/sorority 'nalia on your average black college TV show or film. And honestly, do we really want Nick Cannon running around impersonating Alphas or Kappas? DRUMLINE. Read more

OH NO. When was this? Was he sure it wasn't just her blank stare she's been doing for the last several years? Read more

I actually don't love my own personal use of uptalking and am actively trying to curb my usage. These days if I'm asking someone a question, cool, go for the uptalking. No question? Don't sound like I'm asking one. The funny thing is, when I returned from a year abroad in the UK, everyone here in the States always… Read more

Wurst behavior.

That's like when Twitter tried to digitally kill off Mrs. Dee a few years ago, smh. She was an amazing person though, she really was able to balance activism and her career, I wonder if she was ever threatened to abandon her politics for a role and what she did? Read more

I agree, though putting the woman's face on television after an assault ... seems a little thoughtless. But I imagine she had to agree to see him, so ... My real question is what would Sisi's next steps be to rein in the wildly high numbers of sexual harassment and the like happening in that country? More laws?… Read more

Interesting, then why does the LDS church discipline people with temporary excommunication if it's all a farce anyway? What are some of the disciplinary actions, I'm curious. Especially if excommunication includes being barred from church and church group meeting and sacrament (right?), what is the lighter form of… Read more

Hi Gogogriot, Read more

OH, and JUST BECAUSE THERE'S NEVER A BAD TIME FOR THIS THROWBACK:

But are the actors wearing the 'nalia, or were the people wearing the letters actual members of the greek organizations who just happened to be stepping or working as background? I think if you are an actor, that's when wearing the 'nalia gets tricky and you need permission — hence the "A Different World" theme song… Read more

I asked the same question of myself ... and then I hung my head with shame. He's got a teddy bear face thing going for him. Read more

Thought you'd appreciate this. Read more
