So I've been the unfortunate victim of a scam that targetted disabled people looking for jobs and now I owe the bank money on top of all my savings being gone. I'm hoping to raise enough to pay things off so here's my GoFundMe below: https://t.co/6kwpXxXAPu
Happy 91st birthday to the legendary Floyd Norman.

Never forget. In 1953, They drained an entire swimming pool because Dorothy Dandridge stuck her toe in it." Racism and segregation kept many African Americans from learning to swim-a fact we can't forget while celebrating Simone Manuel's historic Olympic gold medal.
‘MĀRAMA’ debuts with a 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Set in 1859, the gothic horror film follows a young Māori woman summoned from New Zealand to North Yorkshire, where she uncovers her horrific colonial heritage and is compelled to confront and destroy the titled Englishman who devastated her family.
Harold Perrineau doesn’t get talked about enough. In Romeo + Juliet (1996), his Mercutio burns through the screen, magnetic, tragic, and impossible to forget. One of the film’s most powerful performances.
