Many stations across the country declined to air the controversial 1974 episode of All in the Family which featured the first televised instance of chooglin'.

a little voice inside your head said
don't look back
you can never look back

it did, and I got off at the Buchanan exit, and I think the ILX continued east on I-80 towards Sacramento

one month passes...

it doesn't really have anything to do w/ toni morrison specifically but more the general notion that, say, a black woman who made art mostly about and for other black women isn't really being talked about on this board primarily because we have no black women who actively post on this board

There is this, but there's also the effect (which I don't know if it's better or worse) where we'll talk about something that has an aspect (possibly a total aspect) relevant to an experience outside of our own, and, ignoring that aspect entirely, conclude that we've nailed it.

bump, just in case we've had any recent leavers who may want to share their stories.

every 2nd post of his seems like fuzzy, oblique bitching about lefties these days, at least before it used every 4th post!

every time a poll with a lot of options is bumped now I can only think "specific user such as imago"

Which specific ILX user has the best discography?

romanesque architect (pomenitul), Thursday, 13 February 2020 22:57 (four years ago) link

Best Buy

LOL, I just saw upthread that back in August 2019 a proposal was made to pay women and minorities a certain rate to participate in this forum. So when do I start looking for any back pay? Should someone alert fellow "twofer" Geeta to this proposal?

i forget the thread for this but:

We all know the answer to this, right? It's no contest! Or am I forgetting someone?

Frederik B, Sunday, 23 February 2020 16:24 (four years ago) link

there are in fact several contenders

imago, Sunday, 23 February 2020 16:26 (four years ago) link

What I really want to know is which specific ILX lurker has the best discography.

romanesque architect (pomenitul), Sunday, 23 February 2020 16:27 (four years ago) link

there’s your truth, and then there’s my softer, pinker one

mh, Sunday, 23 February 2020 16:27 (four years ago) link

this isn't something we should discuss imo

lurkers otoh

imago, Sunday, 23 February 2020 16:27 (four years ago) link

Indeed. My initial question was facetious and likely a parody of some other post/thread I've already forgotten about.

romanesque architect (pomenitul), Sunday, 23 February 2020 16:28 (four years ago) link

Imago otm. Let's just say it's a tie and move on

Not to start shit again, but your posts are wayyyyyyyyy better than Kali Malone's music.

romanesque architect (pomenitul), Sunday, 23 February 2020 16:38 (four years ago) link

Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaank

Has it gotten any easier now that you're no longer a, you know?

Sadly, it's all been downhill since my diaper days.

Should someone alert fellow "twofer" Geeta to this proposal?

whenever I mention ilx to her, she has warm things to say about a lot of old school ilxors, but expresses no interest in returning to regular posting/reading.

sarahell, Sunday, 23 February 2020 19:12 (four years ago) link

she does have great taste in food/bevs, so if she happens to be visiting your locale, you should definitely buy her drinks and/or dinner, esp. if you are an affluent white dude.

sarahell, Sunday, 23 February 2020 19:13 (four years ago) link

unless you're "that one guy" .... he knows who he is.

sarahell, Sunday, 23 February 2020 19:14 (four years ago) link

I would definitely... oh wait, never mind

Would it be ok if I'm just a regular middle class brown woman?
