If you’re not already 40 you’re not an elder millennial and I will stand on that 😤

How much do we care about nepotism in casting?

Jack Quaid gets a job over a similar looking actor from the Midwest 🤷🏾‍♂️

It just seems like there’s bigger issues—especially if you’re not even an actor?

There’s no way *every* major city is full. We need to start organizing for more housing or something. 🤦🏾‍♂️

Have not watched Love Actually since it came out, but I remember enjoying how all of the plots connected. Now I’m sitting here as an adult like, “Did Human Resources take an early holiday?” 🤯

I’m always seeing this debate about whether Brazil is great for Black people or too racist.

Black Brazilians tell us it’s racist. I believe them.

But my main issue with Brazil is that racist Brazilian cattle farmers are destroying the rainforest for meat nobody even needs 😣

I’m all for people having their preferences but if you’re super proud of being tall (or proud to be dating a tall person) we’re not vibrating on the same wavelength.

You’re at least an aging millennial if you can remember when environmentalism was about everything *but* the climate: the three “Rs,” save the whales, save the rainforests, protect the wetlands, reduce toxic waste, conserve water, eliminate CFCs (to save the ozone layer!)

Do I need to re-read White Teeth?
How Zadie Smith Lost Her Teeth
Since her audacious debut, she has been moving toward character-driven realism. In the process, she’s become the least interesting version of herself.

How crazy is it that the Amazon might be in a free fall by 2030 and there’s no embargo on rainforest beef?
