Emma Stone screaming “I’m sorry” during Sandra Oh’s monologue shows that at any given moment, without a hint of irony, White women will insert themselves into a woman of color’s spotlight. She HAD to say something, despite the years and years of silence on the issue, right then and there as a half laugh for…what? To turn the real issue of white washing into a joke? To reinsert herself into the conversation when her decisions hurt Asian actors like Sandra? It’s all liberal posturing disgusing white fragility because she most definitely felt embarrassed to be indirectly called out for her complicity in white washing.
Why else yell an apology after four years of her just never really addressing it? It’s white guilt taken to a literal extreme to pander to the audience for cheap woke laughs. “Look at her, she’s aware of the issues! And she’s sorry!!! XD total self own!” White women can’t bare to sit in their uncomfortability when they are confronted with their complicity and try to detract from it in any way possible. Sure, it’s just a throw away comment but really think about the ideology that fueled her need to say that in the first place, at the time she said it, and the reaction of her saying it from a most white crowd. By dismissing the comment as a jokey, self depreciating nod, we dismiss how white people can constantly do some self flaggration, usually publically, years after the damage has already been done. We see it over and over again.
Yes I know Sandra and Andy’s joint monologue was to supposed to be light hearted and fun, poking satirical fun at topics etc etc but it’s something to chew on. The whole interaction was brief (Emma’s comment wasn’t planned and she literally injected it into the monologue) but is pretty illuminating.
So, My brother’s job is very much seasonal and he has only worked twice this month so he can’t pay internet or the water bill… and I can’t pay rent, because my job still sucks and I’m paid shit but it is better than not having a job.
I am less broke than usual so with the internet bill of two months $100 and rent $290 i will need around…$390. You do not have to donate if you can, but please reblog and share this so maybe people who can help me can!
Also before anyone tells me to get a new job, I am a black lesbian living in one of the most racist and homophobic states in Brazil, a country who elected a straight up fascist, getting another job is almost impossible here, so please give me a hand.
Hey folks! My name is Elijiah Harrell, but my friends call me Bam. I am a black, disabled butch lesbian who is chronically ill. Due to my disability and chronic illness, I’m extremely limited in the hours I can work at my day job. I get charged between $400-$500 a month in rent (essentially all the money I make) by my parents, who are literally using me for money. Ideally, id like to have just a little bit of cash that I can put to the side for food, toiletries and other small needs, so if folks could donate and share to my paypal it would be much appreciated!
Edit: my venmo had randomly stpppedt working, but ive got it up and running now! My venmo is @shonen-lesbian
So I need to come up with $530 by february 1st for my rent+bills this month: normally this isn’t an issue, as the $300 a month I make from my theater job makes up for the upsettingly small amount of money that I make at my current day job. However, the position at my theater job is seasonal, and doesn’t run in january, leaving me short at least $300 on my rent. I only worked a total of nine hours the past two weeks, so my paycheck won’t even surpass $100, and since january is literally the slowest month of the year at my job and I physically can’t handle working more than 3 hours at a time, my boss barely schedules me, so I know there’s no way I’ll be able to come up with that additional $300 by the end of the month from working there. Ive been trying to get a new job that is less physically demanding so that I can work more hours, but most places arent hiring right now and won’t be until march at the earliest. Please please reblog and donate if you can, I don’t know what I will do or what my mom will do to me if I’m late on my rent. If people want to, I can do oracle card readings (one card pulls or three card spreads) in exchange, though I’m hardly a professional. I am literally desperate, and between this and having no insurance (which means no therapy and no more meds when they run out) everything is literally making me feel so anxious that its making me physically sick. please, please rb and help if you can.
this woman who wrote about her experience dating my dad occasionally tweets @ me and im like…. Who the Fuck are U
like to clarify, she published a book about the 52 men shes dated, and one of the pages was about my dad, and in it she talked about me and my sister as toddlers, and referred to me as the uglier of his children
“I’m wearing Gosha Rubchinskiy x Adidas, Prada, and Kenzo. Honestly when it comes to my style I definitely like to say it’s something that automatically comes to mind. Everyday people inspire me, as well as different art, colors, shapes, objects. Whatever comes to mind I put it together or I’ll sleep on it and then boom I have an outfit! My current style-related favorites are Solange Knowles and Mel Ottenberg (favorite wardrobe stylist).”
