Can you believe that How To Get Away With Murder is a real show?
A show about a canonically bisexual, mentally ill, dark skinned black woman in a position of power (who frequently is seen with her natural hair and makeupless) teaching a group of students - including another dark skinned black woman, a gay sinnamon roll, a Haitian black boy, a Mexican American hardcore feminist, and a straight white boy who actually treats women with respect and admiration - how to stay the fuck out of prison while weaving in stories and messages about:
- transmisogyny
- how HIV is not a death sentence
- adoption
- white people bringing up race when it suits them
- being a r*pe bystander
- sexual assault and abuse
- white male rage (when white men are mad that poc have something the white man doesn’t)
and let’s not forget these awesome tidbits:
- literally an entire episode about society sex shaming women
- “let the slut shaming begin” - actual words said as an entire courtroom hears about a sexual encounter a woman had with a man
- “he’s innocent and black”
- a woc calling out another woc for excusing racism
- “you’re a misogynistic ass”
- a white man being told by a black woman that he is automatically favored by the justice system because he’s a white man
- calling out classism
- a man flat out refusing to have sex with a woman because she’s drunk (i mean yeah they do have sex anyway but she was really persistent and had absolutely no regrets the following day and they started a relationship so it’s not a bad thing)
and some more little tidbits:
- an amazing soundtrack
- “oh what fun to kill someone and end up in jail”
- everyone is super hot
- “stop being a little bitch baby”
- nice, healthy, fleshed out relationships
- plot twists in every episode
i mean yeah, people get killed a lot but that’s not important
this very true and important! I also see, white muslimahs but representation in all parts of society matters including different races and sizes and I’m sorry but some of these Hijabi Fashion shops act like they make their abayas and cardigans and even the hijabs out of Angel feathers talking about almost 200 dollars for a long cardigans. appealing to all social economic backgrounds is very important. I know that probably everything is hand made by workers and they must be compensated fully for their work but sometimes people are reaching.
Lmao I’m dying at “how sway?” But wow yes this needs to be discussed a lot more🙌
this me fam. forget inayah just go whitechapel and get them £5 abayas that have one pocket and last for years
Lol for reaalllll and you’re right all these hijabi fashionista chicks look alike and its hella boring
RIIIIGHT since when is wearing hijab supposed to take a toll on my bank account smfh
I’m constantly torn between the ‘be kind to everyone’ and the ‘fuck everyone you owe them nothing’ mentalities
