It was so terrible as a sentence that even had it been shade it would still be a violation of the English language. So. There’s that. Read more

Not shade.

That’s like the people that hire an interior designer to give their house a “lived in/rustic” look. She looks great, and she is clearly going for that “no effort” look with the makeup and hair, but in reality is spending a significant amount of effort to cultivate just the right amount of “no effort” in her look. I Read more

It’s true, but it’s also true that she said she stopped wearing makeup because of the unrealistic expectations for appearance that women face, so wearing makeup and pretending you aren’t wearing makeup is just as bad as photoshop and crazy contouring in terms of setting up unreasonable expectations for how women Read more

The article literally says that it’s hard to knock Drake. Read more

This is such an unbelievably shitty, rude, bad-faith comment, but let’s outline some of the ways that it’s shitty: Read more

She’s talking about her ass, which black women have been mocked and degraded for having, for decades. We have been hyper sexualized as CHILDREN because of it. It was a mark of such embarrassment for many of us growing up, and I absolutely include myself in that. I was overly concerned with the way my butt moved too Read more

While they’re both still generally accountants, in actual fact he is fairly senior within the organization - Chairman of their US Board and a Managing Partner. I don’t know what her title is. But his level of seniority would certainly suggest that he has more than enough experience and authority to handle that Read more

It is the responsibility of the person who accepts the responsibility to fulfill that responsibility. It is also their responsibility to turn down any job offer that requires them to do anything they are not willing and prepared to do. When you accept a job, you accept all the responsibilities of that job. That’s how Read more

If you accept a job that requires you to do X, then you must be willing and prepared to do X - because that is what the job entails. Read more

Oh, crikey. This is not a man/woman thing — they both screwed up in doing their jobs. Read the article — once the fuck up happened, she did not react quickly as she should have. They both did a poor job, period. This isn’t sexism at work, and it would have happened no matter what the sexes of the two accountants were. Read more

That was my reaction this morning, then I read this piece. If she was supposed to have the results memorized, and had instructions to immediately intervene if the wrong results were read, then yeah, she fucked up too. Read more

Aside from being Adele’s third-best album, the Album of the Year award is supposed to “honor artistic achievement, technical proficiency and overall excellence in the recording industry, without regard to album sales or chart position.” This includes production, songwriting, structure etc; divorcing Lemonade from its Read more

I do not know what is wrong with all these people. Like, duh, it’s an abomination of a movie, but ALSO DUH I LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT IT ESPECIALLY MM’S COVER OF SWITCHFOOT’S ‘ONLY HOPE’.

No one is defending Farrakhan, slugger. I read her comment as criticizing the false equivalency the original poster is trying to establish and the mouth breathing troglodytes cosigning it.

That’s stupid, though. I don’t even like Farrakhan, but to say that he’s ever participated in activities against Jewish people that are comparable to activities the KKK has participated in against Black people and Jewish people and lots of other types of people is simply not factual. So once again, someone’s “views” Read more
