I don’t have much more to add to current comedy conversations except once I pitched an intersectional feminist tv show to comedy central & they politely told me they already had a “show about feminism” in the works... by Jim Jeffries. 😊
It’s scary to read some of the anger directed at the two women who just lost their mother but scarier still to think of how exponentially worse the vitriol would be if they were POC instead of white women from Britain.
American history books are like:
Slavery was bad but then Lincoln fixed it 😊
Then, segregation was also bad but Malcolm X didn't need to be so mean about it 😡 but MLK went on a biiig walk and fixed racism! The last racist left killed him 😭 but then he went to jail 🎉 the end

My @PrimeVideoAUNZ special BOSSY BOTTOM comes out ON FRIDAY! (I came out in ‘99) I hope you enjoy this historical document of when we used to gather in groups & laugh, it’s my love letter to the audience who I MISS! I had so much fun making it & tbh it is kind of off the chain.
Chinese people have been treated as if they are the virus (or as if they are all potential carriers) during Covid-19, but this goes way back historically. A personal essay on being hurt but not being seen @deathbypdf
