I've been watching Scandal from season one, and this is my first rewatch since I watched it in real time almost a decade ago. I know I have grown because watching it now, I don't find shit appealing about Olivia Pope being so goofy over Fitz. It gives me major ick.

Imagine being this foolish and posting something like this knowing that you actually wish you could catch a woman like Meg but you can’t because your beard has split ends.
He said "we lost him". Now when did you ever even have him?
When we say the men are weird, they are in fact weird.

Yes! I was telling a friend last night that what I deeply appreciate about samba is its spiritual orientation and how integral it is to the art and science of the dance, as well as the community that surrounds it. It's just so rich, and I'm so appreciative of it

But I'm still a cultural newb to this and this could be a shallow read on the culture but I'm also someone who is so compelled by it and is thinking about it for future work too. I'd love to know how friends like @tiaac.blacksky.app think about samba and how it forms women

And in all actuality, even samba class passes the Bechdel class for the science and art of the dance as it is taught is rarely about movements for the male gaze but to empower the woman to be free in her body. Learning is about women becoming proficient in understanding their bodies for themselves

Recently I started hanging out with a new group women, all from my samba class and it has been so refreshing for one very specific reason. Most times when we hang out, we pass the Bechdel test. That is, a group of women talking to each other about something other than men.

She's been struggling for relevancy for some time now, and since she decided she cannot play well with other Black women, she has settled for getting played by white men. If that isn't wanskta feminism, I don't know what it is.
In conclusion, the paper aged well.

About 12 years ago, I wrote a final paper entitled "I Wish Her Heart Still Was in Rhymin': Hip Hop Feminist Ethics in a World of Wanskta Feminists." Nicki Minaj was an example of a wanksta feminist then, and reading the recent news about her, I see that she still is.

Jacob Elordi is doing his BIG ONE as the creature in Guillermo Del Toro’s Frankenstein. I mean his biggest one. This is an award-winning performance, a breathtaking one too.

This book! Whew! Toni was doing more of her big one with this novel. This is my first time reading it and I am spellbound by it, more than I have been on any other Morrison book I’ve read

Since the house phone in the room counts, I got my first phone at about 13. We had these phones in every room in our house because my uncle had a hookup on them (Super Jamaican ting). So I had this business ass phone in my room and I hated the ring with a passion

I say 50's, but it's really only because I've never listened to a complete 50 Cent album, but I feel like I've had to grieve so much losing the old Kanye that I gotta keep that Kanye album for the memories.

I'm so glad the truth is coming to light about Reasonable Doubt. For so long I was watching this season like, "Is it my table lamps? Is my vision failing?" Nope, the show is just dimly lit, and we all been straining our eyes to watch it. Season 4 better be brighter tho.
