Code for girl hate: “The way she speaks is stilted and awkward. I just can’t get past it.”
Every. single. time. someone can’t come up with a legit reason for disliking an actress this reason pops up. Meanwhile male actors are just so “riveting” and “daring” in their portrayals of tortured souls. Blech.

Queen of Reversals: Goo Yong Shik Mini Character...
[Spoilers. And a Goo Yong Shik lovefest.]
One of my favorite things about Queen of Reversals is the characterization of Goo Yong Shik. At first glance he has many of the trappings of the typical lead male: he’s a lonely chaebol with daddy issues, a playboy-womanizer, has a secretary-cum-best friend/sidekick, has no other friends, and masks his isolation with cheekiness and an inflated ego....

Keeping Students From the Polls
Next fall, thousands of students on college campuses will attempt to register to vote and be turned away. Sorry, they will hear, you have an out-of-state driver’s license. Sorry, your college ID is not valid here. Sorry, we found out that you paid out-of-state tuition, so even though you do have a state driver’s license, you still can’t vote…

newmodelminority:
On Clutch Danielle Belton has an excellent and problematic post titled, “Celebrating the Black Beauty on White Women”. She discusses in general the politics of race and women’s bodies as well as the politics of White artists performing what has historically been seen as Black music (see Eminem, Elvis and Adele).
I am really interested in the politics of race and Black women’s...

Kolorful Palette is beautiful. There’s no other way to describe it. It has a (growing) collection of watercolors of scenes from kdramas. Some of my favorites are from Can You Hear My Heart:
and Sunkyunkwan Scandal:
Sometimes capturing an image from a show speaks volumes: an image can convey the theme or tone of a show, and can sometimes express something in just a few seconds that...

I love how completely unattracted to Chandler and Ross Phoebe is. They’re just these sexless, genderless beings who happen to amuse her sometimes.

Me: I think something may be wrong with all the clocks in my house.
Time: You make me sad.

stfuconservatives | readyokaygo:
1. Ron Paul does not value equal rights for minorities. Ron Paul has sponsored legislation that would repeal affirmative action, keep the IRS from investigating private schools who may have used race as a factor in denying entrance, thus losing their tax exempt status, would limit the scope of Brown versus Board of Education, and would deny...
