- Because I'm curious... RT if you're a woman who has been called "intimidating" by men at least twice.
- We've gotta stop spoon feeding foreign films to American audiences who don't want to read subtitles.James Wan to Produce 'Train to Busan' Remake From 'The Nun' Writer Gary Dauberman bit.ly/2ztX5c5
- Reading comprehensionWhat is something nostalgic from your childhood that isn’t around anymore?
- I don't think people care enough about 1) the obscene number of Black women who've been out of jobs since this administration and 2) the mental health toll that has had on us.Over 300,000 Black women have lost jobs or left the workforce in recent months. Shana Pinnock Glover has applied to 800 jobs while battling two forms of breast cancer. This is the toll of a system failing Black women. We must demand equity and opportunity!

- I have said repeatedly that portraying A Complete Unknown without politics is one of the many nonsensical things about that movie. Joan Baez was deeply political and it was part of the tension between her and Bob Dylan at the time, not just the fact that he was a philanderer.
