A Different World gave us a cast of characters so diverse you could see parts of yourself reflected in each one. It was fun, it was real. And we couldn't wait to go to college. This is my favorite part:

Insecure let us be young and foolish. Falling in love, making mistakes but growing all the while. It let us be exquisitely human. This is my favorite part:

I just love her!

Imaginary Spin-Offs I’m Watching #61: In Living Color: Flip the Script You can do what you wanna do—if you've got your family with you. It's the Wayans vs the world. Go behind the scenes of this monster 90s hit as it defies the odds and paves the way for its stars to take over the world!

#66: The Good Wife: Nope The "Wife" part never happened. Peter proposed to Alicia in law school, but she saw right through his f**kboy-etry. Motion denied. Go ruin somebody else's life, buddy. Alicia's headed to the Supreme Court—without the trauma of being dragged through the mud by you.

All of our Sundance coverage (so far) can be found in this rich thread!!

Trans kids have a right to exist as who they are, not who the Trump administration wants them to be.

#HealthForAll For everyone. Everywhere.

Costco shareholders have overwhelmingly rejected an anti-DEI proposal as other U.S. companies retreat from their diversity policies

We're going to make it through this 🩷💙 Let's turn our fear and rage into community action.

“Do not obey in advance. Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do.” T.Snyder.

Trump has signed an executive order eliminating all funding for diversity and inclusion in the federal government, sending home DEI staff who will then be laid off. The historical echo for this is when Woodrow Wilson resegregated the federal government in 1913. We have reached the second nadir.

RIP Barry Michael Cooper, the man who gave us the iconic Harlem Trilogy: New Jack City, Sugar Hill, and Above the Rim 🙏🏽

Might have to unfollow some news accounts that post Trump clips of him just saying wild ish. WE KNOW that man is crazy. These clips aren't moving any needles. In fact, they just desensitize us so that when ACTUAL bad policies are proposed folks just shrug them off as more crazy ramblings.

People do not believe that a romance scam could happen to them, but it is statistically likely you or someone you know is trapped in one. I talked to AI experts and a therapist who counsels the scammed on how loved ones can help: www.huffpost.com/entry/french...
