  • Love yourself.

    There’s something that came to me a few years ago, when I thought I wanted to make YouTube videos: Someone, somewhere needs to know. Photo credit: Lechon Kirb on Unsplash

  • Prepared.

    Lately I’ve felt a push to get myself ready for something. It’s come on naturally. It’s as though my soul knows I need to fill a space that’s always existed…Yet it’s somewhere that I’ve never been. These days, in spite of all the times I’ve tried and failed, my talk about self-care has begun to…

  • Who are these Peeple?!?

    Last week, Peeple hit the media like a ton of bricks. Most of what I wanted to say has already been said. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dd9Zfi3pT4 Still, I had a concern. How do tech companies choose the projects that they support? Seriously. I’d like to know.  What is their vetting process? Peeple’s creators posted a (now-removed) web series…

  • Are You Oppressed?: A Checklist for Contemporary Martyrs

    THINK, Dear Reader. Are you really, truly oppressed? Source It’s a serious question. I know it’s hard to tell these days, what with all these folks getting their way. Let’s face it, though. We don’t exist in a vacuum. Surviving in the same country as ne’er do wells, it can be hard to tell if…

  • Raising Dion

    Some of you might remember my old post about Man of Steel. One of the things that really touched me in that film was a scene that featured Clark as a young boy. It put my curiosity into overdrive. In fact, at the time I said Could you imagine being a kid and having to…

  • What’s that, Claire?

    Up in the sky, it’s a bird–it’s a plane….It’s a movie trailer featuring black actors actually playing legitimate people. You know, with emotions and lives, instead of stereotypes. Or not. I shouldn’t boast prematurely. After all, I haven’t actually seen this movie…But it looks ok. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the video below while…

  • Dear Conservatives: Do Better.

    I’m disgusted… I’ve been thinking that I ought to get back into my blogging groove for a while. Over the weekend, I started organizing a list of topics. My days were set. (Sorry I’m late. 😉 ) The first thing I wanted to share with you was my take on an article I’d found via…

  • Defaults and Diversity

    I don’t read many scripts. Just after I typed that, I looked to the skies, hoping that the Scriptwriting Gods don’t zap me. Apparently, I’m breaking a cardinal rule of aspiring screenwriters everywhere. (Rule #1: Watch ALL the movies. Rule #2: Read ALL the scripts…) Quite frankly, I think it’s a waste of time. The…

  • TGIT? #HTGAWM!!

    Are you ready? Tonight’s the night! I’ve seen Scandal. The pilot, via iTunes, and…Snippets here and there. I know it’s good. EVERYONE knows it’s good. But the show I’m waiting for is How to Get Away With Murder. Viola Davis is back, looking better than ever. Not “classically beautiful” my ass! “Be careful who you…

  • The Bachelor

    Let me give a moment to something I love to hate. Reality TV. That branch of media that reminds me of a regrettable friendship. So many of us have them. You know…The person we thought we could hang out with, but wound up running from…Sort of like a misogynist who finds himself trapped in a…
