white female directors have some nerve complaining about lack of gender diversity when it comes to filmmakers and then proceeding to make movies with all white casts. i honestly couldnt even finish lady bird because i kept thinking about much better it would have been if it was about a black girl. or a latina. or an asian girl. or literally anyone else that wasn’t white. how many more ladybirds and booksmarts and edge of seventeens are we going to have to endure before white women realize that movies starring them are not revolutionary. the quirky white girl coming of age movie thing is tired. until white female directors can come up with something else or at least cast some poc in their films, then i won’t advocate for them and they can keep flopping for all i care.

the most unrealistic thing about friends is that phoebe never punched ross in the fucking face

You can be angry about things but still make the conscious decision not to be cruel. When we remind each other to be kind, we’re not saying don’t be mad. There’s a lot of stuff to be mad about right now. But you can still be a kind and patient person. You don’t have to be mean to other people. You can choose.

When I say that Latinas do not exist only to be your maids, I’m also talking to the Latinx community that seems to forget that young girls are not live in servants made to cater to their brothers, fathers, and male cousins. And shame on the mothers, tias, and abuelas that are complicit in this. 

i love when period dramas cast poc without even making it a big deal. like, the character isn’t historically black, asian, latine or whatever, but then the character is still cast as poc. and that’s like, really cool. i love when people of color are normalized in settings without the story or narrative centering around race. but poc are still in the narrative and we’re still getting rep and who knows, said person could’ve actually be poc!!
