Reading This Week...

All hail, thirty years of

Oprah

! What a woman of color told her white friend when he asked her opinion on

white privilege

. Happy twelfth birthday,

Design*Sponge

! If you want people to read your political posts on Facebook, bury them in an apology,

like this

. A look back at

Gene Wilder

, the master of the comedic pause. I love

Bloop

so much! Oh great, body issues can start at

three years old

.

lulz of the Week...

Eyes and Ears...

Don't sleep on Sooo White Guys. Phoebe's

interview with Roxane Gay

this week is A+++. How many times have you watched Beyonce's FIFTEEN MINUTE

performance on the VMA's

? Just once? Loser. I found a new podcast called

Unscrewed

. The jury is still out, but hey, maybe I'll learn something. I watched

Elvis and Nixon

 and was surprised at how much I liked it (it's on Amazon Prime). TV-wise, I'm still watching

Jane the Virgin

and

Stranger Things

.
