Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

But Wenty doesn't have a father as big in the black world as Rashida does. Nor as black a name, really.

There was a Law & Order that used the same plot point back in the day...

Who was the actor?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

One person was on the phone with a colleague in Chicago who got all squealy and excited about talking to an actual Californian during an actual earthquake, which we all thought was kind of adorable.

Hey, we had an earthquake here in Chicago not too long ago. Which I was actually awake for. (at 4-something am.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I do find it interesting that Rashida Jones (sounds black!), daughter of Quincy Jones (is black!) gets "coded" white. Of course, she basically looks like a tan Peggy Lipton, but still. Interesting.

It's like when my godsister made a post on Facebook about "giving new meaning to "light-skinned"" after hanging out with the black side of her family -- she just looks 100% white, even though her father was, in fact, a black man. You just would never know to look at her -- way more so than Wentworth Miller or Vin Deisel.

Maybe one could print this and affix it to the cars in question, if you don't have a blow torch.

In my estimation, Vin doesn't look white, and Wentworth Miller makes sense to learn it. I'd be curious to see your godsister.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Psst, that’s Isabelle Hupert.

Stupid google. Isabelle is also freckled! Plus they were in the movie Entre Nous together.

True, that.
