as much as it sucks to have a female character exemplifying misogynistic views on a tv show full of testosterone, i think jack’s reaction is more rooted in classism than misoginy. jack was more than ready to announce their relationship to keeley’s employees, but introduces her as a friend to someone from jack’s own social circle. i mean keeley is literally channeling pretty woman with her outfit (my friend pointed that out <3), which is very much about social class more than anything

the kind of sexual freedom keeley displays is more associated with lower-class people, as opposed to the “classy” way women like jack are expected to behave and imo that’s the root of their issues. basically my point is never trust a rich person even if they’re a hot lesbian!

[emerald-truth]

yeah I understand people being upset about the way their relationship was handled because they don’t want Jack to represent negative lesbian stereotypes but I did appreciate the way their breakup was framed around class. those problems started with Jack giving Keeley expensive shit that overwhelmed her but maybe didn’t feel like such a big deal to Jack. and then Jack basically broke up with her for her image - not because she didn’t want to be seen with a woman, she said she wanted to show off her girlfriend at the rich people polo event - but because she didn’t want to be with someone who wasn’t willing to sell their honor for their reputation. which is extra interesting given they both work in pr

Use the Walgreens Brand which is pretty cheap and it does wonders and doesn’t leave me with a white cast. And I’m dark as hell so I hate looking ashy but not all sunscreens are made equally and it’s one of the better ones I’ve used.

[angelic-tokkii-deactivated20220]

Wait cocoa/shea butter and coconut oil don’t protect you from the sun we really do need sunscreen??

[futureblackwakandan-deactivated]

Yea fam. All that “we don’t need sunscreen” shit is a myth. Combine that with the fact that most dermatologists don’t know how to spot skin cancer in Black people and it’s a nasty combination.

[jamaicanblackcastoroil]

Yeah, it’s harder for us to get it but when we do it’s deadly. I know two people who died of skin cancer, both were Black.

“While incidence of melanoma is higher in the Caucasian population, a July 2016 study in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology showed it is more deadly in people of color. African American patients were most likely to be diagnosed with melanoma in its later stages than any other group in the study, and they also had the worst prognosis and the lowest overall survival rate.”

Sorry about the link, I’m on mobile. But this is from August 2016, which I know isn’t the most recent but it’s still SUPER IMPORTANT. Y’all please wear sunscreen. With Google it’s even easy to find smaller, Black-owned brands.

I use this sunscreen from Walmart. It’s cheap, doesn’t leave a white cast, and smells pretty good.

[teaboot]

Duuuude my family uses that and it’s Soo nice it even smells good

[magicdragonkiddize-deactivated2]

Same for brown people, are skin may be dark but we do burn!

[alwaysbeenarambler]

Korean and Japanese sunscreens are also a great option for deeper skin tones! Their formulas are way more sophisticated that most US sunscreens, don’t feel greasy, and most don’t leave a white cast. Biore Aqua watery essence and Purito Centella green level sunscreen are especially nice and not crazy expensive
