It’s good that they came out for this, however I hope they asked and credited the black artists whose work they reposted. Can’t be talking the talk while walking on others trying to make it.

Here I was worried about whether or not there will be a Royal Cookout or not, and now I am pressed, because I am also hardly Serena Williams.

To be fair, this is a pretty messy situation. Yes, he’s a veteran; yes, he’s sufferring from PTSD.

Well, speaking as a veteran, I concede some of what you say. It is politically and socially convenient to SAY you care about veteran’s welfare, less convenient to DO something about it.

Very few of us care about the Royal Family. It was ‘Are we getting an extra Bank Holiday (public holiday)? No? Then who gives a toss?

So... What are your plans for this weekend? Me? Nothing much. Plan on getting a haircut. Currently, I am just doing the ‘gel it and smooth it down’ to the new growth.

It’s not at all out of character, he makes visits to areas far more deprived than Brixton quite frequently. He visited my cousin’s boxing gym in New Cross a couple of years ago. By all accounts he was lovely. Also, Brixton is less than 30mins from his - not a big deal.

lmao i love this gif. i can barely keep up with yall now so i can imagine how you and the other writers feel.

“Would greatly appreciate your thoughts on this as it gravely discredits your efforts to include Lena without holding her accountable,”

If Will and Kate were visiting I’d say definately a stunt. But looking at how Prince Harry has lived (much more like Diana) his life, I don’t believe it is. The things he shows interest in didn’t change because he’s engaged to a black woman. They’ve always been things he was interested in and charitable towards. Now

The serena comment laid me out. There are layers and layers to that comment. But I know when I talk to my british cousins about them I’m met with the largest sigh and the hardest eyeroll.

“She’s hardly Serena Williams”

Someone at some level of this process definitely knew this was fucked up. The person who dressed him, the photographer, the makeup artist, a set hand, the photo editor, the marketing director, a marketing assistant, a web designer, etc.

Don’t miss Alfred getting his chain snatched right at the end there. Also, that song by Sonder is dope as fuck.

lol, that should be alpaca

Alopecia robe? You mean a robe made of hair loss?

Well. I mean, the new season should be lit cause they had 3 years to work on it. I’ma stay salty until Mar. 1.

I’m just thinking about the daughter. Like...what the hell is she going through right now? I keep vacillating between sympathy and disgust.
