Sometimes, you can commit a little insurance fraud, as a treat, if the reason you have to is because health insurance in the US is a nightmare

[franklynessa99]

I see a lot of posts about insurance fraud, and I just want to point out that they didn't get married for insurance. They got married before it was known that Iris was sick. They were young and lost, etc. He didn't divorce her when she was found because that's when her illness became known, and his insurance became important to getting her the help she needs. I just think it's important to appreciate the nuance.

Well shit. I’m dying. I’ll die next Monday or today or at some point between now and then but either way lone start will kill me. #911ls

If all you are going to do week by week is complain about the show. Then stop watching it.

I need my black fic writers to gather on this post. If ANYONE could pull this off it’s y’all. We always want more representation and I know we’re tired of trauma porn and this has never been done. What y’all think?

Happy pride month to those who are scared

Happy pride month to those who are proud

Happy pride month to those who are out

Happy pride month to those who are closeted

Happy pride month if you’re trying to figure yourself out

Happy pride month if you’ve known for years

Happy pride month to those who it’s their first

Happy pride month to those who have celebrated for years

Happy pride month to those who are afraid to celebrate

Happy pride month to those who will scream it from the rooftops

Happy pride month to you.

“This representation was groundbreaking for the time and a lot of people liked it” and “This may have aged poorly and many modern audiences from the group don’t feel represented by it and are bothered by aspects of it” are not mutually exclusive

[tetranocular]

see also: “it’s okay to feel uncomfortable with these pieces of media due to their clumsy—if not harmful—depictions” and “some people still enjoy them, despite their flaws, especially older people who grew up without the same amount of representation we have today, and it’s not your place to tell someone they can’t like it”

[jumpingjacktrash]

see also “it’s valid to dislike a piece of media because the associations it brings to mind for you are upsetting” and “the associations something brings to mind for you may not be universal or intended, so before you decide something is ‘x-coded’ or ‘a dogwhistle’ you need to fact check a bit.”

[whatshabsening]

see also “you will not be able and are under no obligation to relate to every piece of media that depicts your group” and “your own feelings about this media is not the only opinion that matters and you cannot tell other people within your group that they shouldn’t relate to it.”

[mikkeneko]

don’t make me tap the sign

Name calling and ganging up on someone you don't agree with makes you a bully. Even if you're right, it matters how you express your opinions. Bullying is not admirable no matter the reason, in fact it just takes away from your supposed "moral superiority"

[beyonce-knowles-carter]

We get probably a tenth of what a Caucasian woman gets. And I’m number one on the call sheet, and then I have to go in and I have to hustle for my worth.

I got the Oscar, I got the Emmy, I got the two Tonys, I’ve done Broadway, I’ve done off-Broadway, I’ve done TV, I’ve done film, I’ve done all of it. I have a career that’s probably comparable to Meryl Streep, Julianne Moore, Sigourney Weaver - They all came out of Yale, they came out of Julliard, they came out of NYU. They had the same path as me.

And yet, I am nowhere near them. Not as far as money, not as far as job opportunities, nowhere near close to it. I have to constantly get on that phone, and people say, “You’re a black Meryl Streep. You are, and we love you. We love you. There is no one like you.”

Okay, then if there’s no one like me - you think I’m that - you pay me when I’m worth. You give me what I’m worth.
