so you understand the tiktoker’s argument (which is rooted in a HISTORICAL misconception on who “owns” those specific styles of nose rings), but not how cracking open a good book would accurately inform you of the geographical history of the jewelry in question.......???
so....
@FortheboysTv
premiered last night and i’m just soooo fucking overwhelmed by all the love and support. this show is something 10 year old me would’ve gagged over, and to know that it’s touching people WORLDWIDE is fucking crazy. I LOVE YALL 🥺
i’m still soooooo entranced by halle bailey’s little mermaid. like, it’s been 5 days and all i can think about is how this incredibly special newcomer’s spirit was able to shine through in arguably disney’s most iconic pre-laid framework. her OWN spin. she IS the new ariel.
y’all joke on her so bad but she was dropped tf in this whole movie; if ANY tyler perry performance should be nominated for ANYTHING it’s this one. she had lynn whitfield as a scene partner, juilliard training, and a MEAN CHEST REGISTER & fuckin carried
takes like this be soooooooooo uninformed and strange to me like..
this lady could’ve went columbus and presented ballroom under a wash of whiteness, but she deliberately involved the xtravaganza’s (from the MV to tours & award shows) so that they could show the world how wildly-
how dare they? i had just finished my skincare routine and now all my niacinamide on my neck mixed with tears 🥺 this kind of comment makes me feel so so so inspired to keep going. ❤️
i think a lot about the fact that the elders in my family think me having my nails painted is a hot topic.....yet they still sweeping how some of the “men” of the family don’t take care of they kids under the rug ............and it don’t never sit right w me
um i got into a top 5 conservatory after performing in my first play two years prior. took the opportunity doubled it & gave it BACK to myself, contributed a considerable piece of art to the black queer cinematic canon, which led 2 more insane incredible things.. um yea more soon
Black folks: post a true, non-humble, flex about yourself that you’d never say out loud because you have couth.
I wanna see Ya’ll BRAG on what your Ancestors have rendered!
Me: I’m one the best thinkers, writers and speakers of my generation.
my heart really aches for the black bodies who are differently abled &/or on the autism spectrums in families that haven’t been equipped with the right tools to REALLY, equitably, and lovingly assist them.
really just am so grateful to be a black ass actor at what feels like the genesis of my professional career in a post-insecure/mid-issa industry. so fucking grateful and excited.
can’t measure the breadth of how thankful i am for you

mollye didn’t know if her cast would’ve been third years, fourth years, or a mix of both
but what she DID know is she had 7 people who would act boots in a pod, so that SHE could get best show of the year.
it’s no shade. you could be trained at a really competitive level but not be good (meaning you don’t IMMEDIATELY adjust to the bells & whistles of film/tv) on sets simply because you haven’t had the experience
This headline/pull quote is perfect but also he's kinda correct in that soap operas (including teen soaps like RIVERDALE) used to be an important training ground for a lot of young actors bc of how quickly they shoot, how much dialogue you have to learn each day, etc.
