We need less videos of babies ‘hearing’ for the first time and more videos of babies signing for the first time.
I can promise you that kids signing is way cuter and more meaningful than kids hearing.
A Thought:
Can we stop showing Black and White pictures of the entire decade of the 1960s so people stop thinking it was 1000 years ago. I’m two years younger than the Civil Rights movement. And Ruby Bridges lives down the street from me and is on Instagram.
There must never be a secret police in the United States. Who are the heavily armed men with no identification, no badges, no markings. Who refuse to identify themselves. This is an urgent matter. Who are they ?
Please correct me if I am wrong but has there ever been a challenge on the show that raises awareness for breast cancer or other women’s issues? I ask because it doesn’t sit right to use women as a comedy source without doing anything to further their fight in the process.
I know I will be dragged for this (pun intended) but at what point does drag stop being subversive and start becoming misogynistic by reinforcing gender expectations?
Lastly, I look to the example of Drag Race banning Manila Luzon’s period dress for being in “bad taste”. This has always made me mad because it is so heteronormative to use women for your need while ignoring their fight (e.i. periods, body hair).
#TigerKing was wildly entertaining but let’s not pretend it was really about shedding light on tiger captivity. We learned very little about tigers and a lot about the people who own them.
Today.
I told a 28 year old that he needs intubation. He was scared. Couldn’t breathe.
I told the wife of a 47 year old that he is dying over FaceTime.
I bronched a #COVID19 patient who mucous plugged. It saved his life. Risked mine.
I love how vague the careers on #loveisblind are, “business owner”, “sales”, “scientist”, and my favorite ambiguous (yet oddly specific somehow) ex-tank mechanic”.
