"The door opens with Margaret. There’s a before Margaret and after Margaret, and I think that’s true with a lot of us. I didn’t think it was possible for me to do stand-up comedy until I saw this. This is the reason I do stand-up comedy, because Margaret Cho exists. That’s what opened up the world to me."

“We’re not tokens. We are not there to be performative in the window for corporations that want to look good that they’ve recruited one of our people.”

Windspeaker.comIndigenous people serving on boards are ‘not mascots’, Jamieson tells conference goersWhenever Roberta Jamieson speaks, people pay close attention to her insightful words. Such was the case on April 29, when Jamieson, a member of Six Nations of the Grand River in Ontario, was a panelist during a session at the First Nations Major Projects Coalition (FNMPC) conference in Toronto. Jamieson, the first Indigenous woman in Canada to earn a law degree, spoke on a panel titled Stronger Boards, Smarter Business: The Case for Indigenous Representation in Corporate Leadership.

Nuki Raccoon: The DEI Program of Furry Erotica

Randomly thinking about how fetish work, the good indie kind at least, often actively works to try and normalize the #fetish within its space, either by creating an imagined world where said fetish is normalized and the majority of people have it, or having a character with the fetish go through embarrassment and/or persecution for having the fetish, so that the intended audience can feel validated and normalized by it.

In a sense, fetish works are a form of positive #representation, which makes the people looking at it feel just a little less isolated in the normal experience of having a fetish. #RepresentationMatters.

Listened to a podcast with Black British MP, Bell Ribeiro-Addy, and she said something that made me think.

We fight for #Diversity because we believe that diversity will lead to #representation. But it's not necessarily the case.

What we care about is representation, not the token Black face or trans person or woman. People like Kemi Badenoch and, I dunno, Ramaswamy are diversity, but they don't represent anyone but themselves.

#HarryHamlin on how his #gay #role in 1982 still impacts #audiences despite being “#sanitized” by the #studio.

The first #script for the 1982 #film ‘#MakingLove’ was much #edgier than the #script that ended up being shot and that’s what I liked about it. They kind of #whitewashed it a little bit along the way thinking that the #edginess of it would turn the #audience off.
