Today marks the L.A Riots 32nd anniversary, a fact I remember thanks to Sublime. For six days Los Angeles was looted and burned to the ground, amassing over one billion dollars in damages. The riots were a response to police brutality, when the officers who used excessive force on Rodney King weren’t charged. Prior to the incident Cops, a Fox Network “reality”show following police officers on duty, purposely edited the episodes to perpetuate stereotypes. That’s right folks Rupert Murdoch allowed the distorted input of racists to air every week. Rodney King shed light on the truth regarding police brutality, not the caricatures of colored people as lawless savages Murdoch displayed.

As a result of the Riots, black comedians in the hood weren’t able to showcase their talent to the right audiences. Thus Phat Tuesdays by Guy Torry was created. Every Tuesday he’d host a cast of colored comedians on the L.A Strip, allowing them to perform for industry folks and delighted audiences. It snowballed, exceeding everyone’s expectations, catapulting folks to stardom even, Kevin Hart, Martin Lawrence, and of course Dave Chappelle. Side note: O.J Simpson’s freedom was also a byproduct of the riots, a way to get even.

Endeavoring to ease the trauma of being racially profiled, murdered, viewed as disposable, they made fun of their plight. Cracking jokes is how they dealt with the pain of fearing for their lives. Going back to my initial point, Dave Chappelle isn’t transphobic (read Dave Chappelle The Equal Opportunity Icon), he treats everyone the same. That line of reasoning would make him anti-black. I furthered my point by stating Kanye West is actually transphobic (read ElDorado: Everything The Nazi’s Hated). Then what happened? A trans woman is viciously attacked at his Rolling Loud set, haven’t heard a peep from the same community that came for Chappelle. When lambasting people, do your due diligence instead of making baseless accusations and keep the same energy for those who earned it. Via: Hulu Rewind The 90’s (Reality Revolution)

Lana Del Rey’s In Her Feelings

How Lana Del Rey looks at me for giving Lindsay Lohan a deal, a month after telling her she’s not getting one because she’s white. Sorry not sorry. I unfollowed Lindsay for claiming Donald Trump was bullied and I wanted her to get serious about acting. Lana allowed people to take her out of the divines favor, years after posted evidence. Without me this bitch wouldn’t have a career (read Lana Del Rey: The Glaring Underbelly, one of my best pieces).

I saved you once, that’s enough you entitled ingrate. She’s proven herself arrogant, weak and stupid. This is Darwinism, only the smart and adapted evolve. Plus Lindsay isn’t a basic white bitch, she raised a generation. You basic whites could NEVERRRRRRRR. It’s for me to decide, Lindsay is iconic. Lmk when you have six mugshots, made TMZ major with your bad girl antics, kidnapped a car of men, or any of the other enthralling things she’s done. Via: Daily Mail

Martha’s Vineyard Is Messy Television

Let me start off by saying Summer Thomas is the villain this season. I don’t know what happened, but anybody can get the business. Summer makes Shanice Henderson cry during a game, when she says the latter is the worst dresser in the bunch. Mind you, it wasn’t even her turn to answer. Shanice responds by cursing everyone out, going upstairs and sobbing in the bathroom. Endeavoring to comfort Shanice, Bria Fleming proceeds upstairs to find out why she’s triggered. Shanice explains she recently lost her job and can’t splurge on clothes. What does Bria say?
“She doesn’t dress nice either.”
Stunned. The way I would’ve asked Bria to please leave my room. I cannot believe she said that, like what…

Then here comes newbie Noelle Hughley, talking to Alex Tyree with his fine ass and melodic voice, like they’re in a relationship. He just met you and hooked up with the person you came with!! When she said to him, “You’re acting single, but I was acting single last night.” Girl, girl, noooooooooooooo. He is not your man, you don’t know him! And he was interested until you said that! Since Summer didn’t care I was rooting for you, we were all rooting for you!

What really took me over the edge? Amir Lancaster’s recap regarding Phil not being allowed to visit as a house guest. You’ll have to watch Sunday’s episode for that one. Phil violated o.d last year, deadass.

Shout out to Jasmine Ellis Cooper with the black girl math, that’s the exact time it took for me to fix my hair, fucking around at my friend’s beach house. Segueing into Miss Jordan Emmanuel, you are gorgeous with or without hair, it’s actually rude. If you need proof just ask drunk Nick Arrington. That being said, I’m obsessed with this show. Beautiful, well-dressed, intelligent, ambitious, cool, funny black people, who are perfectly unhinged. Everyone is chef’s kiss! Also Preston Mitchum is serving lewks! He’s my vote for best dressed. Do yourself a favor, catch up before the messiness escalates. Also who’s the most emotionally unhinged? Via: Boujee Bravo Bitches

Bad News About The Ukrainian War

Unfortunately the Ukraine isn’t going to win, every major destruction thus far goes back to the Devil’s Collection’s (Kardashian Jenner West too read Now You Care But I Don’t and The Kurse Spreads). Principal ballerina Christine Shevchenko is the culprit. Why? She was in Melanie uggo Hamrick’s now defunct coven. She thanks all the witches in her life in an Instagram post, Shevchenko included (read Melanie Hamrick Forever An Ugly Loser).

Energy is everything. It’s spreading. If you want to continue to follow idiots down the path to hell, be led by psychopath Mick Jagger and his equally foolish crew, be my guests. You aren’t on the right side and you’ll pay for it. Taking away freewill, murdering and all the other evil committed has reached capacity. The balance is thrown, there will only be more destruction until it’s restored, or this place ends. These are universal laws, the Devil has come to collect, you will abide or else (read Making Deals With The Government). For the condemned like Christine, enjoy your time. Soon Mick will have to choose between jail and hell, told you to honor L’wren Scott, so he wouldn’t end up in prison like his family. His continued alignment with the satanic is about to do him in. How many souls did he aid in taking, instead of sending his unwanted child to boarding school? Oh well, you reap what you sow, tick tock Michael. You forgot it’s down to me, the difference of where your soul is bound, down to me, the change has come Mick’s under my thumb. I’m ready to send him, can’t stand him. Keep in mind I can make you do both, this is me being nice. This isn’t reneging, the deal has always been death and prison for the Jagger’s, if that doesn’t happen you will pay.

Emma Stone Or Lily Gladstone?

Ohhhhh I love a good intellectual, artistic debate, especially of the cinematic variety! As per usual, the prestigious Academy Awards delivered. Emma Stone won her second best actress Oscar, creating a chasm, as many believed Lily Gladstone was robbed of a historic win. Her performance in Scorsese’s Killers Of The Flower Moon deserved every accolade. As Gladstone neared death, growing sicker as the film progressed, her lines grew sparse. And yet, saying nothing she conveyed everything. Dialogue wasn’t necessary to display the depth of her acting, a feat that marks Gladstone as one of the greats. However, Emma Stone in Lanthimos’s Poor Things had range, rangeeee.

For Stone to play a reanimated woman with a fucking baby’s brain, having to relearn life…dude. That’s impeccable acting. She went from toddler to educated, sexually liberated, boss bitch, in the most riveting manner. I almost can’t find the words to describe. A feminist tour de force.
Both Lily Gladstone and Emma Stone are top tier actresses. Stones role due to the films creative plot, allowed her to play a more expansive, complex character. Brava ladies, an absolute pleasure to watch you both. Thank you. Who do you think deserved the win and why? Via: HomeOf.Cinema

We’ve come to the last day of Pisces season, a bunch that can be as unpredictable as the sea itself. Look at the people born under this sun sign and you’ll find how highly misrepresented we can be. However this Pisces pizza pie describes us accurately, although some major slices are missing. Fashion and film we’ll apply to the art section, but wine needs a space here. Which spicy Pisces is your favorite and why? Via: The Existential Pisces

The only divine is a woman, if you want to follow these misogynist to hell, be my guest. Learn from the Pope and Prince Charles, they are not ordained by GOD, they profit from racism and misogyny. They got sick due to it. How many of your ideals, religious and cultural beliefs stem from these oppressive structures? Women weren’t allowed to read until when? Let alone contribute to these distorted sacred text. Pay attention or pay the price, Happy International Women’s Day. Athena Via: Divine.Serpent.Fire

Spicy pisces season has begun! Don’t fuck with us, especially the March variety, push them too far and they’ll kill.
I’m a double water sign (Pisces sun, Scorpio moon like Elizabeth Taylor read Dame Elizabeth Taylor And I…), Caribbean, a New Yorker bred on the Upper East Side, a war Goddess…Griselda Blanco is one of my feminist icon’s (read The Feminism Of Griselda Blanco). Crossing me is a big mistake, huge- I don’t miss. If it helps think of Javier Bardem in No Country For Old Men, did he go against that coin? You tell me. Via: All.Pisces.Facts

PSA: Safe Abortions Matter

By: Saint Twenty

“I’ve heard girls at my school talk. These are conversations I snatch from the air like we take down clothes that have crusted dry on a clothesline. The girls say that if you’re pregnant and you take a month’s worth of birth control pills, it will make your period come. Say if you drink bleach, you get sick, and it will make what will become the baby come out. Say if you hit yourself really hard in the stomach, throw yourself on the metal edge of a car and it hits you low enough to call bruises, it could bring a miscarriage. Say that this is what you do when you can’t afford an abortion, when you can’t have a baby, when nobody wants what is inside of you.

In the bathroom, I bend over standing and knead my stomach, knead the melon to pulp, but it just keeps springing back: ripe. Intent on bearing seed. I could find something big enough and hard enough to jump on: Daddy’s dump truck hood, Daddy’s tractor, one of the old washing machines out in the yard. We have bleach in the laundry room. Only thing I wouldn’t be able to find is the birth control pills; I’ve never had a prescription, wouldn’t have money to get them if I did, don’t have any girlfriends to ask for some, and never been to the Health Department.

These are my options, and they narrow to none.”
