Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Also, an all white production of "The Wiz" is weird, right?

Yes.

Not just weird. Downright "wtf how did no one say something to the producers/directors to stop them because Jesus"

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

That's what I thought! The next town over from my home town is doing it-- I think they are just too white to realize.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yikes, Sophia. Just yikes.

I would like to commend smonster for having a decent conversation with a former coworker of mine who I didn't realize is a Bernie or Buster, apparently! I missed the whole thing, but might have flipped out way sooner.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Wasn't that the original--The Wizard of Oz? Why not just do that?

So Trump is actually calling on Russia to hack Hillary's emails.

Wait, the ones from when she was Secretary of State? The ones whose alleged insecurity meant that HRC was a traitor, so Trump's veterans affairs advisor suggested she be hung? Trump is advocating the treason that his minions are accusing HRC of?!?!?! I know logic isn't his strong suit, but day-um. Also, when did cozying up to Russian dictators become a Republican value?

Always Anti-fascist!

In theory I get that, if you mostly talk about say, TV and stuff with a group of people, whatever differences on that spectrum shouldn't affect that much, In practice, I don't think it's true. But maybe that's because I am All About politics now.

Sophia, that still might not be as bad as the all white Once On This Island my former arts camp employer did. It was with middle schoolers and the excuse was to expose them to the music/material but still.

I think that is worse, aurelia. I am not sure.

Ugh. I have two employees in the same job. I'm not technically their manager but I manage the project. One is kind of grumpy and sour and I'm not super impressed by her. But she's been on the project the longest. The other is new to the company (but has plenty of experience with the job). The newer one had an issue at a site the old one had been to. I emailed the old one to check what she had been told prior to the rest of us joining the study, just to make sure we were on the same page. She wrote back and was like "my recommendation would be to do [super obvious thing], let me know if you need me to also go there next time" And then sent another email all "Also I would have [new person] do [very obvious elementary thing]". I barely stopped myself from responding "thanks, we both already know how to do the job" and instead said "I don't think that will be necessary, I just wanted to make sure we were on the same page" but damn bitch! Step off!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Not that I'm planning to join Facebook , but if I were, it would not be until after the elections.
