Malcolm-Jamal Warner truly contained multitudes and this deep dive into his many facets helped with the sadness of his loss. He gave us so much as Theo and only grew into more greatness from there!

Theo Huxtable & Beyond: Remembering Malcolm-Jamal Warner's Contributions To The Culture
A look at Malcolm-Jamal Warner's epic career and the multitudes he contained as fans mourn his shocking death.

I had barely scratched the surface on MJW's contributions to the culture and it's comforting that there's still so much to discover and revisit, even though he's gone.

I hate terrible fathers. If your father treated you poorly, I wish death on him.
Is he homophobic? I hate him.
Is he transphobic? I hate him.
Doesn’t accept you? I hate him.
Saw you as lesser than for being a girl child? I hate him.
Abused your mother? I hate him.
May hell be his eternal home.

people doing risky things we NEED are not equivalent to people doing risky things for our entertainment.
Please also cite the statistics for men in the general population. And other types of risky or physical jobs.

The number of ppl I’ve had to chew out for asking “who will take care of you when you get old” while they themselves are NOT being “taken care of” by their own kids….🫠

Yes! You can't really live while constantly cowering from death. Putting no thought or resources into arrangements only makes it more devastating.
I hate that talking about death/final wishes and shit is so taboo
Like damn, can’t a nigga prepare you so you don’t gotta be out here looking crazy when I’m gone?!?

Clearly we need millions of podcasts about the womanophere and why it wants to get the fuck out
"In 2025, 40% of women aged 15 to 44 say they would move abroad permanently if they had the opportunity. The current figure is four times higher than the 10% who shared this desire in 2014, when it was generally in line with other age and gender groups."
Record Numbers of Younger Women Want to Leave the U.S.
The percentage of younger women in the U.S. who express a desire to migrate permanently has surged in the past decade.

My big takeaway from spend 4 million hours on Instagram Reels is you are allowed to look less hot than a model IF you have a fun animal friend with you. Why I am getting a sea otter. So I can keep showing my face on the internet

Getting put on a block list by someone you have no idea who they are and then ending up blocked by people you've been mutuals with for a decade, that seems wrong.

We can expect the men in power to seal off more of the openings as their “society” depends on trapping women into serving as their safety net.

Other countries have safety nets. The US has women.
Their labor creates the illusion of a DIY society, making it seem like we don't need a net.

This is a BIG reason I wrote Burn It Down. I was v tired of doing One Bad Man stories & wanted to shout from the rooftops that every He's Just One Bad Man is NOT a one-off--each 1 is propped up by multiple interlocking systems of enabling, protection & even celebration. The SYSTEMS are def evergreen
Terrific book that unfortunately remains evergreen.
ANYWAY! My 2023 book -- about systemic, institutionalized, longstanding patterns of misconduct, abuse, predation, and the enabling and even the celebration of same by the powerful -- was titled Burn It Down 🔥🔥🔥🔥 just sayin' bookshop.org/p/books/burn...

And certain businesses really do need to be in office, but the districts can be smaller which also makes it easier for people who work in those places to live near them.
