(#CW #racism) So Mary Ellen Iatropoulos and I wrote and sent our open letter to the Whedon Studies Association. It is scary to have finally done this, but it's something we've wanted to say for a long time: https://t.co/kVGfXVVNRR

Remember when @hbo was filming in #Poughkeepsie and everyone was flipping out about it? Prepare to flip once again my friends because they’re coming back tomorrow to do a panel discussion on what it was like to film… https://t.co/Se41FjQsuV

When I saw Oprah interview Michelle Obama, Oprah asked how Michelle got over feeling intimidated sitting at big tables filled with smart, powerful men and Michelle said, “You realize pretty quickly that a lot of them aren’t that smart.” I think about that quote every single day.

This black woman saved this man's life. Listen to the trauma and pain in her voice.

Frida (2002) was the first thing that came to my mind...after I sat there feeling stumped for much longer than I’d like to admit

[Clint Smith @ClintSmithIII]

The woman who said Emmett Till came onto her lied about what he said. The officer who killed Oscar Grant lied about what he did. The police withheld video of Sandra Bland that tells a different story.

There’s a long history of black ppl being killed based on someone else’s lie.

I have a speaking engagement this morning.

My youngest son just asked to attend w/me.

I said yes & told him that if he goes, he has to dress up and wear a suit.

He just came downstairs w/this on & said it’s his favorite suit.

Definitely not what I had in mind🤦🏽‍♀️ 😂

Standardized testing emerged from the eugenics movements attempts to “prove” white supremacy through “objective” means. The SAT is the living legacy of this supremacy masked as meritocracy: https://t.co/nKbSq25VsS
