Princess Weekes

It was recently announced that Girl Meets World was cancelled by the Disney Channel and while I get that for some this show was worth the time, for me it just reminds me that there is still a lot of diversity issues on television.

I feel like Black History Month is a trying time for a lot of us in the Black dystopia because in theory it should be a time of pride and celebration of black accomplishments. Yet I often feel like when you grow up in the states even if you are in a majority black or diverse area you don't really learn about black history. You learn about black suffering and black struggle. Black History Month in the states is so American-centric and male-centric, that you lose a lot of perspective of the scope of black accomplishment.

The Color Complex (Revised): The Politics of Skin Color in a New Millennium

LENA WHY? WHY?

For some strange reason black people are told that if they do certain things that they aren't "being black" or that those things are for "white people." Um...why? And boy, bye!

I see the signs and I am here to say, I SEE YOU VILLAIN & I do not approve!

Guy, you have no idea how much I'm going to rage. I hate the idea of this so much!

DAT KISS GUYS!

It didn't take long for the writers to be like "lol--nevermind guys."

I apologize that this is such a raw video, but I honestly felt the most comfortable with making this video like this. I will admit I rambled a bit too much lol.

It is a hard truth to swallow, but Disney kinda sucks at race...like a lot.

Often I am asked to talk about topics and sometimes they are enough for a whole video and sometimes they are only worth a few words. Therefore, this will be the first of many roundups to talk about a bunch of topics in one video.

This week we get to see Archie get Single White Female’d by the entire Blossom Family. Alice Cooper continues to be the best and Veronica deals with the fact that her father is possibly the worst person on the show.

Tells the tale of three mothers of first graders, whose apparently perfect lives unravel to the point of murder.

It’s time for Veronica to lodge a complaint against the Blossom tribe (ha get it—lodge!) and Jughead’s birthday party becomes a hot mess when it ends up being about petty bullshit and not celebrating Jughead.

I always see a bunch of Youtubers and Fashion Bloggers doing these “Youtube stories” where they are super TMI and I decided that I wanted to do that for my 25th birthday.

I love period dramas. Like most things in my life, I blame Xena for that. This past week I was able to watch a special screening of The White Princess through Refinery29. It was an interesting watch. I am not a fan of Phillippa Gregory's interpretations of the women involved in the Wars of the Roses. However, I do often enjoy these types of shows because, despite it all, I know there are good acting and eye candy. The White Princess was no different and while I was watching it and listening to the Q&A after, I was thinking about how we tell the stories of women in history. Specifically as to how they choose to portray empowerment.

I promised that I would talk about feminism and I was looking for an introduction to it. Low and behold the pop culture fairies blessed me with this. I ask the question of what make a text feminist. I also say the wrong title of the book multiple times cause I'm a bit of a dummy. But I promise you I have read it, although I know some of you will hate me for it anyways and I understand ;).

Note: I haven’t watched the most recent episode so in the unlikely chance that the situation has changed, here is a disclaimer lol.

Well, this season-long game of Clue is over, at least partly, but we at least have answers. Not to mention a huge bomb has been DROPPED

I forgot to mention how much B.S the Josie/Archie scene was.

A follower contacted me on the Gram about his worries about liking movies that are considered bad (specifically mentioning the DCEU). I did film this before I saw and filmed my Wonder Woman review so I apologize for the slightly dated info.

This is the first of four LGBTQA videos I will be putting out this upcoming month!

There are a lot of shows that are called "spiritual successors" to Buffy: The Vampire Slayer (Teen Wolf in it’s prime, Lost Girl, Being Human, etc) but very few capture the full nuances of what made Buffy so special. In my mind, there are two shows that are out now that understand how to channel the smart writing of Buffy with the great cast of characters. One is Crazyhead, which I spoke about a few months ago, and the other is SyFy’s Wynonna Earp. Wynonna Earp premiered last year on SyFy and returned last Friday, June 9th for its second season.

Inspired by Roxane Gay (& Usher), here is me talking about the complex origins of my bisexuality. Including a certain Katy Perry Song

Ya girl did it! She's actually got a job in her field. It only took five years! Also Riverdale Review @ 4pm :D
