Fleabag  (2016 - 2019)

[yagotmoxiekid]

Fuck yeah.

Andrew Scott did more for my sexual satisfaction by playing the Hot Priest in Fleabag than a lot of the fuckboys I've actually been with.

And he's gay.

[yagotmoxiekid]

God, yes!!!

[sublimesoulpeanut]

I’m dead. This show. This priest. No one warned me.

[yagotmoxiekid]

No one can ever be prepared...

John Lewis’ life in pictures (1940-2020)

[chasssy101]

If you don’t know who John Lewis is, take a moment and learn. RIP

[yagotmoxiekid]

These are some powerful images that don’t even come close to epitomizing his contribution to our rights. Rest in power Mr. Lewis.

I have been a Hanson fan since i was 9 years old. 1997 when i first heard MMMBop on MTV I was hooked. Middle of Nowhere took me down a rabbit hole of music and Tulsa, Tokyo, and the Middle of Nowhere let me go around the world with my new favorite band.

To me, liking Hanson was nothing out of the ordinary, but to the outside that wasn't the case.

"Eww black people aren't supposed to listen to Hanson."

"Wait, YOU like Hanson?"

"You're going to a Hanson concert? Have you looked in the mirror?"

"Did you forget you're black?"

Oh yeah, that part. I was black. The amount of bullying i endured for just listening to their music was almost expected, i just never thought it would be magnified because of my race. I wore a Hanson tshirt to school only ONE time my entire life - it was the last day of school in the 6th grade. I didn't understand the attention until a friend said to me, "Well come on. I mean you ARE black.." i went to the girl's bathroom and cried, turned my shirt inside out and wore it that way for the rest of the day.

Once i was old enough to go to shows it was something else. It was fun, exciting, and thrilling even. However I had to learn how to be uncomfortable. Uncomfortable with the comments I'd hear ("she looks like she belongs at a snoop dogg show" - Underneath Tour Chicago 2006), uncomfortable with the way event staff treated me because i look so out of place, uncomfortable with the stank eyes, side eyes, and glares, uncomfortable listening to the way fans talk about the black lady in the House of Blues bathroom - she's my people! That's somebody's grandmaw!

I saw a quote today that said, "Racism is so American that people think protesting racism means protesting America." I understand people refrain from getting into any political talk because it's a sensitive topic and well, that's your personal right.

But racism isn't political.

I was born with this skin. And i have a better chance at dying, failing, and suffering because of it.

Black Lives Matter. How can you love the culture and not the people? That's hypocrisy. The foundation of rock and roll and gospel is rooted in songs of slavery.

When i stand for 12 hours to be in the 2nd bar balcony at a show and i still have the energy to jump and dance and scream, it's because the music has touched my soul so deep that i catch that spirit. To stand there and say i love my band and my band loves me.

But now i ask myself, do they REALLY love me? Or do they love what my people brought to the music industry so that they could thrive?

These past two weeks have been emotionally exhausting so i turned to the music of the band that's brought me comfort all these years. I check their social media pages for further comfort, but aside from the NASA launch there was silence.

Silence.

And it took us, the black fans, (and some pretty pissed off white ones) to get Hanson to finally step out into the world to say something. A very generic, dry, bullshit something. How can a band profit off the images of poor African children yet can't find the courage to tell their black fans that their lives matter? Do they know what it's like for us? For their friends Dimitrius and Will? Do they care?

At this point, i don't know. As a black woman I've felt so much pain these past 2 weeks i don't think i even have any room for more grief. Will I go on listening to Hanson? Most likely yes. Will it sound the same? No.

All those years of pain and bullying and awkwardness and being the only black girl, the token black girl, the girl willing to be brave enough to be out of place and black in white scenery... for my favorite band to refuse to say that any of that matters.

That hurts. That really, really fucking hurts.

I’ve been a fan since I was 13 or 14 (over 20 years). I’ve gone to several shows and even went on a cruise because of them. After seeing the posts by Zac that became public, I’m so incredibly disgusted by him. His posts about George Zimmerman are infuriating and disappointing. Trayvon Martin was a young Black boy who was judged and killed because of the color of his skin.

[yagotmoxiekid]

I am so sorry. This has to be one of the most disheartening things I've read. 💔

THIRST AID KIT | S6E01 | A DOG CALLED REX (with JASON MANTZOUKAS)

Look. We know what we like, OK? And it’s a wild-eyed, tousle-haired man who is funny, and smart, and so fucking engaged that chatting with him is like looking at the sun for too long, while wearing absolutely no protective glasses.

May we present Jason Mantzoukas?

There he is. Sigh.

We knew we had to come back from hiatus with a bang and there’s just none bangier than Mr M. We chatted for literal hours (because he’s a generous guy with lots of good thoughts and honestly, we didn’t wanna get off the Zoom call, to be honest.)

Some things in this BUMPER episode:

Handing over the reins of [REDACTED] to somebody else (and a man at that!) for the first time ever.

What quarantine/lockdown/social distancing has been like for Jason these last few months, as illustrated by podcast appearances

This whole thing about people feeling weird about fancying him and how it makes him feel

Getting a bicoastal dog with Bim and letting her name the dog Rex [more on this later; keep reading]

Jason’s love of romcoms

A project Jason would not be averse to: a romcom starring him and Lupita Nyong’o, with a screenplay written by Bim

Scratch that; is this movie now starring Bim? With Rex as a pretext?

Jason torturing Bim relentlessly about how much she said she fancied him and his beard in the Jasons episode from last November and Bim dying, reviving herself, melting, putting herself back together and just basically giggling like a teenager. Embarrassing, to be honest. 😩

Nichole having the time of her life watching Bim melt down but also cementing her place in the Wingman Hall of Fame with her stellar efforts 🙌🏾🥇[seriously, buy her a round on Venmo (nicholeTN) for services rendered] 

Jason doing some stellar media critique on Hollywood and the boyification of the American male in pop culture [really, you should listen to him on How Did This Get Made? with Paul Scheer and June Diane Raphael because it’s an ace podcast)

Nichole and Bim gasping IN UNISON when Jason brought up Moonlighting, and said it was one of his favorites.

Nichole reveling in the fact SHE WAS RIGHT: Jason did use Mixed Chicks hair products on his curls.

Goddammit, Jason Mantzoukas. You magnificent sonofabitch.

No Fanfic Wars in the ep, because listen: the whole episode was basically a drabble come to life, and there’s no need to improve on perfection, is there? The whole thing is a hell of a ride, and you can listen to the whole episode RIGHT HERE (more ways to listen are listed below).
