I have a lot of random, revolving interests, so they kind of don't define me. I love living in Seattle, and if you mention the amount of rain, I WILL give you epic side eye. I'm also trying to figure out what the shit I want for the first time in my life.

It bears repeating: Wolf DID NOT insult her appearance, size, MOTHERHOOD?? or anything other than her professionalism and/or lack thereof. Sanders is a grown ass woman who should be called out because she LIES TO EVERYONE’S FACE and that. should. mean. something.

Tomorrow (5/1) on Fresh Air: Michelle Wolf addresses the backlash from her White House Correspondents Dinner set. Don’t miss it.

“I wasn’t expecting this level [of controversy], but I’m also not disappointed there’s this level. I knew what I was doing going in. I wanted to do something different. I didn’t want to cater to the room. I wanted to cater to the outside audience, and not betray my brand of comedy. I actually, a friend of mine who helped me write, he gave me a note before I went on which I kept with me which was, ‘Be true to yourself. Never apologize. Burn it to the ground.’

So much respect for her. If you don’t think that was brave, you’ve never read the Internet.

Life imitates art as Disney opens STEM center in Oakland with Black Panther money

In what seems to be an overt nod to Letitia Wright’s teenage genius Shuri, Disney has announced that it’s donating $1 million to the Boys & Girls Club Of America to help expand its STEM programs. That comes from ComingSoon, which says Disney’s money will also be used to establish a STEM Center Of Innovation in Oakland, California.

This is the best thing I’ve read all day.

Two years ago I began taking up the childhood dream of writing comics. To say it is more difficult than it looks is to commit oneself to criminal underst...

One of my all-time top literary crushes, Ta-Nehisi Coates, on why we should write what scares us. 

Seriously, Wakanda fans, we owe most of Black Panther’s cinematic success to this man. He’s one of the most lyrical, gifted and polarizing writers in America, and he decided to write a comic. He changed the game, folks.

Thing I want to see happen in Infinity War after seeing Black Panther

Just a small moment in which Shuri looks at Doctor Strange’s scarred, shaking hands and comments very casually “I can fix that, if you’d like.”

This one hit home the hardest…if only…😢💙

Can you believe Black Panther gave us bad ass women who weren’t over-sexualised, had combat appropriate footwear, clothing, and hairstyles, had their own ambitions, were well rounded and complex characters, and who all had their own story

[meganelizabether]

I was skeptical, but I was blown away. They were the real stars.

Long live the Empire.

This is the best.

I think we can all agree that Tilly is the best thing to come out of a truly baffling first season, right? Mostly because the writers didn’t fuck with her character and just let her be.

they’re called sneakers!!! do you get it?

I am legit excited for this

Hannah Simone (CeCe from New Girl) cast as the lead in a reboot of an old superhero show, “The Greatest American Hero.” Not only is the hero gender swapped AND a woman of color, the producers are an all-female team, including the very, very hilarious mind behind “Fresh Off the Boat” and “Don’t Trust the B in Apt. 23,” Nahnatcha Khan.

Showrunner Reveals Salem From Netflix's 'The Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina'

Showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa has revealed Salem Saberhagen from the upcoming Netflix series which may or may not be entitled 'The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina', based on the mature-skewing Archie Comics series. And it appears that this Salem will be played by an actual cat. In the classic c

Oooh, so excited... I loved what I read of the Chilling Adventures. I hope they really lean into the darker elements AND keep the wry and twisted humor--if they do, it’ll be completely different from anything on TV right now. 

Cuz, let’s face it, Riverdale is poorly-written, overly precious, self-referential without any awareness, and just so, so bizarrely stupid and humorless. 

Sabrina deserves a higher caliber of writing. Fingers crossed.

Teenage Overwatch player accused of cheating proves she's just that good with Zarya

17-year-old Geguri shows the boys how it's done (with an 80% win rate).

Kim “Geguri” Se-yeon is one of the best in the world at the video game Overwatch. She’s so good that, predictably, her (male) opponents claimed she was cheating, that it wasn’t actually her playing. To prove it, she performed live on stage, cameras trained on her hands, with a mask on - because she was a minor. Her doubters accepting they were wrong, resigned from eSports afterwards.

Months later, when developer Blizzard formed a professional league for Overwatch, 144 of the world’s top players broke into teams – but Geguri was, bafflingly, not one of them. Each team, to a one, came up with increasingly ridiculous excuses as to why (one claimed they didn’t want it to seem like a PR stunt). The ensuing controversy made Geguri quite uncomfortable, but it was not to last: last week, the Shanghai Dragons signed her on, making her the only female player in the entire league.
