Tessa Thompson & Lakeith Stanfield (’Sorry to Bother You’) for GQ
“There are so many movies with people of color coming out that are like, ‘It’s the people-of-color version of a heist movie!’ Or, ‘It’s the people-of-color version of a buddy-cop thing!’ You know, ‘People of color in this romantic comedy instead of Jennifer Aniston’ or whatever.” [Director Boots] Riley’s representation doesn’t mean just slotting people of color into roles “they wouldn’t have gotten originally” (read: white), it means creating roles we haven’t seen before: “This is a new movement of art for people of color that has to do with not only people being represented on screen and behind the screen, but a new way of thinking about the creation of art. [Stanfield and Thompson] are two of the prominent members of this kind of new group of actors that are coming up.”
Vegans of tumblr, listen up. Harvesting agave in the quantities required so you dont have to eat honey is killing mexican long-nosed bats. They feed off the nectar and pollinate the plants. They need the agave. You want to help the environment? Go back to honey. Your liver and thyroid will thank you, as well. Agave is 90% fructose, which can cause a host of issues. Bye.
So let me get this straight ,vegans should stop eating the food of the Mexcian long-nosed bats, because the bats need it, and instead vegans should instead eat honey, the food of bees, that their larvae need, even though the bee populations are facing ecological issues as it stands.
10/10 post, dude.
Did you forget the whole part where only excess is taken and all their needs are met and then some orrrr?
Like, did you read it orrrrr?
Anyway, BUY HONEY SAVE BEES
It is a 10/10 post. Because OP is right.
Bees do not suffer when beekeepers take their honey, because experienced beekeepers do not take all of their honey, in fact, they leave plenty of honey left for the bees to consume over the winter. If we do not collect their honey, 1 of two things will happen.
1. they will leave for a bigger home. Which at first seems fine until you remember that bees are dying very quickly out in the wild.
or
2. They will start using the areas that they reserve for their young as a place to make more honey. This is bad because if no more young are being produced, then the hive will start to die out because no new workers are coming into the world, and the average live only 150 days, so it would also mean the loss of more bees.
So yeah, eating honey isn’t inhumane at all. In fact, you’re helping the bees by eating what they produce and giving money to the bee keepers who are the ones making sure that the hive will keep being healthy.
i never actually thought that cancel culture was toxic until people actually tried to ‘cancel’ a 14 year old who obviously didn’t know better we’re all young once children aren’t less children because they’re celebrities leave millie bobby brown tf alone
one more thing i notice that people hate millie for being too mature and shame jojo sjwa (?) for being too childish and they’re both chidren none of them are mature stop being creepy to goddamn children maybe if you guys stop putting celebrities on goddamn pedestal you guys would realize that they’re just like you and not some geek gods
!!!
Regardless of why people hate on her or don’t, she knows she has an audience and influences that audience quite a bit, so yeah when she comes out and says ‘You’ is romantic she only gives credence to the idea that behaviours like that are acceptable for “”“love”“” (one that the actor in the series has been trying to squash this entire time). Societal shaping or not, her opinion is harmful to her audience, and she is smart enough to know this. Just a few days ago twitter came at Noah Centineo for his support of logan paul but shes given a free pass?
she’s 14 it’s not her job to be a role model she’s literally a child
but like also i wish she had adults around her that actually cared enough to help her understand that this attitude isn’t healthy. she’s already surrounded by such toxicity in the industry and it’s very worrisome that she as a child sees stalking as romantic in any way. :( :( :(
It actually is her job to be a role model. Whether she takes this responsibility seriously or not is up to her. When you are a celebrity it is your job to consider what impact your actions have. Thats literally the whole job. I am so sick of people saying celebrities didn’t ask to be role models—as if thats the damn point.
you’re 28 years old asking a 14 year old to teach you how to be person seriously get help
One of the best feelings is knowing that you’re wanted. Knowing that someone wants to talk to you, wants to know how you’re doing, or wants to see you. Whether they pick up the phone to send you a quick text or stop by your house to catch up, someone or something reminded them of you specifically. It just feels really nice to know that you’ve been on someone’s mind and that they care enough to let you know that.
Can somebody be like… Not a disappointment for once 😑
No that is definitely a tan, that’s really how she looked back then. It wasn’t good content at all and she stopped and deleted the video but they even included a part in that history post where they admitted she said it was a tan. She’s expressed regret in tanning that badly too. Also, the content she’s being called out for is from 2011/12 and she DEFINITELY doesn’t feel that way anymore, the same source you’re using cites her talking about how talking like that isn’t okay and she’s ashamed of her old videos. Back in 2012 I was sexist and homophobic and now I’m a gay feminist. Growth happens. No internalized misogyny or stereotypes are present in her content anymore and she’s way more mature. She even tries to include non binary people in her content and said that it makes her happy when people tell her they love being acknowledged like that.
She learned without being called out, instead commenters just helped her and she expressed gratitude for that, but then years later it’s resurfacing despite the fact that her content is NOTHING like that any more. And yeah, it’s good to be aware, but y'all are spreading this without information and as if it’s representative of her as a person, especially when most people don’t read sources and take words at face value.
Most people in the notes claiming she did blackface don’t even know the context when asked and it just goes to show how obsessed with call out culture people are. One person has even claimed she did blackface in 2017, but there’s no explanation unless they mean her “100 coats video” where she did many layers of lashes, foundation, hairspray, lipstick, and spray tan. They could have meant the fact that the spray tan she put on her arm eventually got dark, but she even admitted she didn’t know that would happen and washed it off. She definitely wasn’t trying to get darker though, she was just following a fun trend with beauty products.
TL;DR: Jenna marbles, like everyone else on YouTube in 2012, was dumb and edgy and kind of said whatever. She also tanned way too much. Over the years she’s matured, hasn’t repeat offended, and is remorseful for her past videos. She now just makes content to have harmless fun
when a player is signed to a hockey team, they get special superpowers associated with the team’s name. if you sign to the sharks, you can become a shark. if you sign to the golden knights, you can bring a sword to the rink
“You don’t grow up with Bob Zimmermann for a father and turn a blind eye to this stuff,” Jack fusses with the corner of the contract. “Do I get a Falcon sidekick? Or turn into a Falcon? What’s the bonus to signing with Providence?”
“Alright, I can tell you,” Georgia leans across the stained coffee shop table with a sly smile and takes a deep breath. “Ready?”
Jack clicks his pen, ready to jot down any notes.
“Sometimes … you can see better in the dark,” she whispers excitedly. “How’s that sound. Night vision.”
“Every other animal team can either turn into, or gets, whatever the animal is. I can just see really well?”
“Ours doesn’t wear off, though. Not like these other metro teams that want you. Play for the Fliers? Sure, you get super-speed but the second your contract is up? Gone. Not with us. You’ll have your power forever. It’s a bit of an investment but we believe in you boys. Also, if you were ever to become a team Captain, you also get this second-sight thing, allows you to look through a bird’s eyes and see what they’re seeing,” Georgia takes a sip of her drink. “Usually they end up training a falcon to be like a familiar or something, hence, Falconers.”
“Roundabout, but good to know,” Jack scribbles down a note about the animal husbandry beside a crudely drawn buffalo creature wielding a sword. “Neat. I’ll think it all over and get back to you. Thank you for your time.”
“My pleasure, Jack,” she rises to shake his hand goodbye. “I’m looking forward to hearing from you very soon.”
