If you come across images or video of someone being murdered in cold blood and one of your first impulses is to distribute those images widely, I’m begging you to check in with yourself. Especially if your goal in doing so is to advocate for the value of human life.

What’s really wild to me is that these studios and executive make amounts of money so large that they elude human perception. And their response to requests for things like pension and insurance was to reject the proposal outright and to refuse to make a counter.

Here are the #WGA’s proposals to help writers achieve a living wage (note: our minimum basic agreement is not a guarantee of employment, this is only applicable IF we are so lucky to land a coveted writing job!). #WGAstrong

Ham hocks are woke meat. I saw a white child eat some and he recited the entire I Have A Dream speech. Don’t buy it!

Ham hocks are a cost-effective pork product that do a lot of heavy lifting in a dish. But what are they? Should you purchase smoked, fresh, or frozen? How do you cook with them? Answer these questions and more with this handy guide. americastestkitchen.com/articles/7123-

Me: I think I’ve worked through a lot of my church baggage. What’s your favorite type of horror movie? Also me: Probably the ones where the plot is resolved by praying really hard and the nonbeliever is finally converted.

This is how I want to show up creatively. Unafraid to use every part of my voice. Prepared but improvisational. Audacious and authentic without taking myself too seriously. Cracking people up while taking them on a journey. This whole performance is so inspiring.

When the desire to tell Black ppl how to behave bubbles up inside you, you don’t ever yourself ask where it comes from? Why you’re so hungry for our obedience SPECIFICALLY? Each time it happens, I give a good ol heathen prayer for renewed self-awareness. Don’t let it be me, lord!

I’m trying to unlearn associating my value with my productivity. But even at my worst, I’ve never felt like “More people should be doing this. It’s working out great for me.” I hope everyone can get free of that!

I’m convinced some of y’all just have a capitalism kink. Like you clock in and sing Cater 2 U to your boss.

I’m convinced that no one actually has to step foot inside a vehicle for the Michigan driving test. It’s just a fist fight outside the Secretary of State, and if you win, they give you the license.

I'm biased because I wrote the thread but! highly recommend checking out this little thread of wisdom from (and then checking out the whole episode if you're a podcast-type person!)

I wrote down SO many Ryan quotes from this episode... here are a few! “So often, as queer and trans people, your very existence is sometimes offered up as humor. It can sell out stadium tours, just the idea that you exist.”

Thank you for having me on the show!! This was a really fun episode to do! Also bracing for the “Scorpio” slander headed my way lol

We've got @Ryan_Ken_Acts on the show today!! Ryan is a genius and it was such a treat to speak with them about perfectionism; fragile masculinity; TikToks as DEI work; fat Black queer fashion at the Emmys(!); and the ex-Evangelical to astrology pipeline 👀
