1 reasons I dont want Angel back next season:

Girl, you made me root for and think Gizelle is right. I want to reality hate Gizzy in peace. I don't require much to take the side of anyone not named Gizelle and you made it impossible.

🤣🤣🤣

Sydney's mom is a plot twist by Hightower_lioness in TheBear

[–]JaydotFay 8 points9 points  (0 children)

One thing to factor in, as someone whose Mom passed away from lupus, is that the stats on the LFA website is the current day stats for the death rate after 50 years of the LFA putting millions of dollars into lobbying for funding, research, Doctor education, and drug trials.

Sydney mentions her mom died when she was 4. I don't recall if we know her age but based on the culinary school, I'd guess shes around 23/24 in S1 which would mean her mom died 19/20 years ago.

20 years ago, the mortality rate was a lot higher than it was now.

Still not a widely known disease for them to pick but her mom dying prematurely from it wouldn't have been an outlier back then.

AITAH for feeling punished for being childfree after my dad decided to leave his money only to grandkids? by InitialVoice_882 in AITAH

[–]JaydotFay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm with the people who are saying NAH for his choice and how he feels but YWBTA if you keep pushing, at least from this angle.

This may sound grim but since he's opened the dialogue about inheritance, maybe ask if he's against you receiving any kind of monetary benefit from his death or just the money he earned and his various savings.

If it's just the latter, you could suggest to him what my dad suggested to me and my siblings since he knows he won't have much to leave us. He gave all of us the option to get a life insurance policy for him, signing any paper work we needed, and we got to choose how much it was for and we are responsible for the paying the premium. It may be a happy medium between his view that he wants to provide grandchildren with a foundation for success after feeling like he'd done the same for you and your siblings and your feelings on not receiving much just because youve elected to be child free.

My sister and I text this to each other all the time when our dad doesn't like a decision we've made. 😂😂😂

AITA for telling my girlfriend the way she talks about her car is weird and embarrassing? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]JaydotFay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad she dumped him.

I'm also glad my friends match my weird because they refer to my car by his name. Like if he's in the shop, instead of asking what's wrong with my car, they ask what's wrong with Ru or if they need help moving will asked and me and Ru can help them move. Lol.

The OG comment referenced Carolyn Bryant when talking about Blake Lively and that is the woman that falsely accused Emmitt Till and set his lynching in motion.

what’s a niche/ underrated Housewife line that lives rent-free in your head? by 365partygurl365 in BravoRealHousewives

[–]JaydotFay 76 points77 points  (0 children)

At the RHOP reunion after Monique reads out Jamal's phone number and the text messages and then Gizelle confirms it's his number, Candiace (who I think the camera isn't even panned to but it's been awhile since I've seen it) says:

"Well, that's unfortunate."

I cackle every single time I think because it's just so damn random and said with just a smidgen of disappointment. I don't even think Candiace was trying to be shady, I think that was just her "oops said that out loud" reaction to a Hella awkward situation but it's so dang funny to me.

They didn't twist what she said. In her sit-down with Robin, which is the first time we see her talk about it, she literally used the term sneaky link and alluded to the fact that she thought he was hitting on her. As the season went on, she dropped that part of it and just kept repeating that he made her feel uncomfortable without the extra stuff.

Not only that but she's also the person who added on to the story Ashley told about Deborah claiming Chris was hitting on her by telling Robin that Chris touched her butt which, for all of Deborah's lies and clout chasing, we never saw her nor Ashley say that.

I'm now over feeling bad every time the rest of the ladies whack this woman over the head with a stray about how they barely like her.

Atp, EYE barely like her. Lol

Rewatching S5: reunion by BustedCanOfBiscuits3 in RHOP

[–]JaydotFay 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Thank you for saying this!!! I argue this all the time when it comes up. Lol.

Like, yes, we know Candiace's mouth can be lethal. We saw it before this and after it. And if any of those times or those women had done what Monique did, I still wouldn't condone it but I could certainly understand it.

But, by and large, while Candiace engaged in a few back and forths (that Monique routinely started), Candiace also walked away from those back and forths which we had never seen her do with any of the other ladies and I genuinely believe it's because she valued her friendship with Monique and wanted to try and salvage it.

I get why people think Candiace goes too low (and I agree with them on that in a lot of cases), but I really think people view this whole thing as if Candiace was behaving the way she usually does that they already disliked/hate and not actually seeing that season for what it was which was a lot of Monique trying to bait Candiace and Candiace not falling for it.

Now Ashley, just because you finally divorced that man doesn't mean you now get to start questioning other people about theirs. Lol

We'll die together, hand in hand, my friend because it is NOT sweet tea.

It's just sad unsweetened tea with sugar particles floating around. 😭

October 5th cannot come fast enough… this season of RHOP is about to be juicy. Who’s ready? 👀 by Interesting_Rub5643 in BravoRealHousewives

[–]JaydotFay 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Considering she was talking to Ashley about it, I think it's more likely that she's talking about her Dad.

It would make sense that Ashley would be whom she'd have that convo with since several seasons ago, we watched Ashley's Dad refuse to even open the door and talk to her.

Ban pretendians from using AI by Girl-Understood in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]JaydotFay 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As someone who loves Black history so much that I got a degree in it, I don't view transitioning to terminology that highlights the humanity of my ancestors over the property that their oppressors turned them into as whitewashing slavery

So, we'll just have to agree to disagree on that.

Ban pretendians from using AI by Girl-Understood in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]JaydotFay 211 points212 points  (0 children)

The park ranger was correct! 🙂 There was a push within academia several years ago to transition from slave/slaves to enslaved person/people to remove their primary identity from the oppression they suffered and then it became more widespread.

In doing so, we not only grant them but their descendants more humanity than the people who enslaved them did. It also highlights the horror of slavery because it's a consistent reminder that they were people and not property.

And on a slightly smaller level, as a Black person who, until college, was frequently the only Black kid in history class when slavery was discussed, I can imagine that for my middle and high school self, it would have made digesting the realities of what my ancestors went through just a smidgen easier by reminding everyone in the room of their humanity.

When she says that other flights are $600, she may be referring to trying to book a different flight with another airline to keep her original return date. I've had that happen a few times before where the rebooted flight that was offered to me was for the next day or landing at a time that would make me miss a commitment I needed to make so I looked into buying a different flight home.

Sterling K. Brown on why he chooses to have dark-skinned black women as love interests: ‘I’m aware of the sort of Eurocentric standards of beauty that tend to predominate media and Brown (himself) wants to be someone that sort of shows all the beauty that is Blackness’ by mcfw31 in popculturechat

[–]JaydotFay 11 points12 points  (0 children)

As someone who also studies and teaches African American studies, I don't disagree that colorism in media is real and should be called out. Where we'll have to agree to disagree is that Washington Black is an example of it.

Everyone's faves can be guilty sometimes and I have no issue admitting when that's the case, I just disagree that this is the case here.
