Listening to an audiobook where the narrator calls a character named Manuel 🧍🏽♂️“manual” 📒 is probably the worst thing I’ve ever heard. I want reparations
Back in the 2000s when I was feverishly memorizing “96,000” and telling everyone I knew about this musical, I dreamed that a movie would happen. I’m glad that it did but I do also carry that quiet feeling of loss. (5/5)
There’s a lot of discourse about #InTheHeights, @Lin_Manuel and I think a lot of people fail to see that many of us who were disappointed by the lack of Afro-Latino cast members are still supporting the film. We can walk and chew gum at the same time. (1/?)
But can you IMAGINE how much shit would have come Marvel’s way if there were only light skinned main characters in Wakanda? Colorism is rampant in our representation too. And believe me it is loudly discussed. So this project isn’t exempt. (4/?)
anything i could want to say about this special would minimize the impact i feel it will have, please just watch it yourself, bo burnham - inside (2021)
@guardian I just want to add that discipline =/= beatings. There are lots of ways to give a child lasting discipline and they don’t all involve physical pain.
@guardian So I want to say my bf is watching the whole long video and what sticks out the most is these cops are speaking with the mom when she shows up and TELLING HER to beat her child. Like assuring her she won’t go to jail if she does it. Disgusting.
