And so I am here. And where I am is mine. I’m not going to crawl through a doggy door with my head down; I’m going to stroll through the front gate, and then once I get inside I’m gonna install one of those badass wheelchair open-button things that make you feel like a wizard. You, a guest, will support me or get the fuck out of my internal/external house. You will not snatch my hospital bag of clothes or my seat at the table or my dignity from me, because this, all of this, all of my life, all that I claim, is mine. I own it. I’ve earned it. And nobody can take it from me. Not without one hell of a fight.

Alexis Wilkinson Imagines What a Politically Correct Plantation Might Be Like So You Don’t Have To

PC Culture Comes To The Plantation

from

Funny Or Die

Writer/director Alexis Wilkinson managed to juxtapose the diametrically opposed concepts of a politically correct focus group and a slave plantation into this sketch. Even with non-offensive language, slavery, as you can imagine, still looks terrible.

(Lyfted) Thoughts Series ~Woman Crush Bordering on Lazy Obsession~

I looove Tracey Clayton from another round. I would love to just chill with her. But I would probs be so geeked and my anxiety would be on high alert. But I think she is sooo dope. And I would like to buy many rounds for her.* What's the non-cultural appropriation equivalent of Spirit guide?? Cause that is what she is. If I wasn't social media lazy and had a better attention span this would be an obsession. And also....Alexis Wilkinson is dope. Y'all were killing me. "No new friends, my squirrel dude." *Umm but girl, we will be rolling on beer salary. ChamPAGAN! Lyfestyle!!

Men, and white guys in particular, get away with this sort of 'tortured genius, like, 'Well yeah I'm creepy, it's because I'm so smart, I'm so brilliant,' but a woman doesn't get to whip her dick out every five seconds and have people be like, 'It's because they're eccentric! They're just so edgy and creative and different, and we have to put up with it because he's a genius!'

As the first African-American president to helm The Harvard Lampoon—the Ivy League’s 139-year-old satirical publication that has run a decent joke or two from the likes of Andy Borowitz, Colin Jost, and Conan O’Brien—22-year-old Alexis Wilkinson has been called “living history.” Or, what she calls “old and curmudgeonly.” -Jeanine Celeste Pang

In this bonus episode I had a great conversation with Alexis Wilkinson right on the heels of her tenure as Harvard Lampoon president.
