what picture are you using to defend your face card?

[Von Supreme🧬 @WindGodVonte]

I’d pick black, gay & a nerd in every timeline.

[TheOfficialKhiya @khiyapapaya]

I love having deep conversations with intelligent people. I love picking someone’s brain while they pick mine too. When I’m in the mood to talk? I TALK

[CALVIN @ca1vindixon]

Silly me thinking they were waiting until the reunion to address the racial incident properly

I dont think it’s the right move to ignore this when it cost 2 black players their chance at winning. But if this how they choose to handle it, won’t be mad if this is the final season

[The Challenge @MTVsChallenges]

For the first time since The Inferno 3 — 19 years ago — the flagship Challenge season is not expected to have a reunion.

There is a big difference between someone who is genuinely not easily impressed or has valid but fair critiques on things versus being a full time contrarian and just looking for things to shady, negative, and a weirdo about

[CALVIN @ca1vindixon]

The topic of fetishization is so interesting because there absolutely is a subset of ppl who enjoy being seen as another race’s “dark chocolate”… they KNOW they are seen as an object & there to feed their curiosities on black culture but ok with it cause they love the attention

[CALVIN @ca1vindixon]

@IGAnaJD I have yet to see anyone get this done and it either look right from the surgery table nor do they show it off after healed which you would if worth it/pleased

[CALVIN @ca1vindixon]

Part of me wonders what the TV landscape would look like if the last WGA & SAG strikes didn’t happen

Streaming services were taking more chances on developing some interesting concepts but afterwards output slowed down quite a bit

[mel @psychosech]

and once we get that a different world renewal let’s start adapting black books and original stuff. we want black lesbians, black gays, black trans, black doctors, black teachers, black romcoms, black musicals, black dramas, black everything netflix

[CALVIN @ca1vindixon]

One thing I will give credit to Netflix for is how they represent black gays on screen. They know how to give representation while still showing delicacy on how it’s presented

Even for unscripted, Styling Hollywood still remains one of the best/lightest depictions of black gays

[Black Film Alerts @BlackFilmAlerts]

Jordan Aaron Hall plays, Amir, the first openly queer character in the ‘A Different World’ series.

He says, “It’s not pressure. It’s responsibility. I feel a responsibility to this character, to the community...”

[Lo @LOsaParks]

This is bad….

[Jay Vee @VashonWade]

Life sucks but it CAN and WILL be worse…

35 days until mid-term elections so yall better fuckin vote !!!

[QT @qtwjr_]

I feel like my life reaches the best levels when I'm safe and in love.

Growing through heartbreak is a survival state I do NOT recommend

[CALVIN @ca1vindixon]

I’m glad that even at my lowest I’m not desensitized. Doesn’t mean you’re morally superior or even this noble great person

Just that you can look at things and view it as fucked up or with discomfort instead of seeing it as storyline potential, a juicy story, or entertainment

[CALVIN @ca1vindixon]

@JaysReality1_ Moments like these are ones that I actually feel cringe/second hand embarrassment not entertained.

Feels like something the public is NOT supposed to be privy to. And even if the show was filming it still doesn’t mean it need to be aired out like this

[CALVIN @ca1vindixon]

Also what someone may do with one is not an indication of what, when, or how they are coming with everyone they encounter. Regardless of gender

[@christine.elizabeth @itsxtineeee]

Sexual assault, rape, and abuse are always the perpetrator’s fault. Stop policing women’s choices, clothes, behavior, or judgment to make them responsible for someone else’s decision to violate them.

[CALVIN @ca1vindixon]

Ok so now we wait for the dropout rate skyrocket

Gonna have ppl signing up for majors they don’t care for and taking up room in classes they don’t want to be in because it’s a “profitable field” and what their loans would cover

[The New Republic @newrepublic]

Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. https://t.co/6tV30STfyc

[ZidMerRance @DynaA938545]

The real issue is actually this : pop fans don't want to embrace new artists anymore. Whenever there's a new artist attending VMAs they were called khias, and how nobody knows them. They gave no chance for new stars to actually rise.

[CALVIN @ca1vindixon]

And let’s not be shocked when BB29 comes around and the quieter black players are targeted early because they are seen as sneaky/not real enough. They will much rather you be a stereotype than someone they can’t get a read on

Win or lose there will be ripple effects

[CALVIN @ca1vindixon]

They are SO mad that she’s stood in the way of having a 100% steamroll season

And I love that she refuses to fangirl for him. That’s part of what it really boils down to. He doesn’t respect her because she won’t idolize or stroke his ego

[Alexia @uhlexiuh3]

This is who cbs wants to get afp btw….he mouthed “I fucking hate you” when Taylor covered her eyes #bb28

[CALVIN @ca1vindixon]

Back when it was built on shock value and the one award show you anticipated performances that were semi controversial/pushed the envelope

Nowadays most plays it safe

[🔪 @Dravenn_]

back in my days everyone would get on twitter & watch the VMAs together & live tweet everything ohhhh we used to be a society

[CALVIN @ca1vindixon]

@OhWho_OhLu Definitely comes off as it was too many black voices to control the narrative so let’s gut the funding and programs. Go back to a time where they handselected the token blacks and leverage their large fan bases to get their messaging across
