The two main characters in Wuthering Heights are her bulbous tears and his gold tooth.

Is HBO's Breath of Fire just a very racist gossip rag? Its claims are valid, but the methodology feels hateful of both a dead woman and witch hunt of a brown man. #HBOMax #BreathofFire

But also #whitelotus why did you not show Black pleasure? Why was her kiss 1950's censored? Why can't she be subject long enough for full experience?

Thinking about #whitelotus during a class lecture on prayer. Things I wished for: 1) needed a hospital scene after snake bite. 2) why was all the wildness so vanilla? 3) #SamRockwell is genius and that scene was best TV moment of the year.

Kieran Culkin using this pinnacle moment to mandate his wife yields him four offspring is also par for the course of our nation at present. #Oscars #kieranculkin

Conan crawling out of Demi Moore's comatose body literally usurps the central theme of The Substance and undermines it. #oscars #thesubstance #mysogyny

Did anyone else see the dancers as sperm and an ode to a giant birth canal in all of the red and white and choreography at #rihanna?

Professor of #Communication Merissa Nathan Gerson (@AskYourYenta) joined @embodiedWUNC host @anisrao and Dr. Roman Beltran and Brandy Well to discuss #generationaltrauma and how to break cycles. Listen⬇️

Anita has been unpacking #intergenerationaltrauma...thanks, in part, to Hollywood. Seeing herself in movies like #TurningRed & #EverythingEverywhereAllAtOnce has helped her make sense of her own family's challenges: https://t.co/sZ0xXRh1Cc

In case you missed this riff, Autumn Brown talks grief with me on the How to Survive the End of the World podcast. https://t.co/eGkpIgl2SU

This sits so weird with me. Also what is the difference between her Jewish friends and the Jewish people? I think I’m supposed to be grateful but these posts make me so uncomfortable.

I want to be brought on the show as the mediator. The show pauses and I appear and say “hey, remember when she said her parents died when she was young? Slow down and be kind with her, closeness can be terrifying after great loss.”
