Kristen Stewart reflects on why she publicly came out when hosting SNL in 2017:
“It was less about sharing the details of my relationship and more so acknowledging that there are people that don't get full access to being alive because they're hiding. I've had conversations with people I've known, loved and trusted and still do, who thought, 'Your career would go better if you didn't go outside holding your girlfriend's hand.' And I was like, 'So you want me to live a partial life? And you want me to uphold, perpetuate and sustain a system that excludes people?' And I just can't do that.” (PEOPLE)

@MsMelChen on an infinitely lesser scale this reminds me of taking the time to write professional emails to profs As Expected only for them to reply with something along the lines of

Some people are shocked at how Epstein comes across as so mediocre and dumb in his emails, citing his sloppy correspondences riddled with misspellings, erratic punctuation, absent capitalization, random spacings and weird syntax.
These aren't actually signs of illiteracy though. They are, in fact, assertions of status and also a window into his psyche.
Meticulous adherence to proper sentence structure and formatting in emails is the hallmark of the earnest professional - the diligent academic, the public intellectual seeking a donation, the ambitious subordinate eager to demonstrate competence and respectability.
Those who already command outsized power and deference can get away with communicating in ways that are deliberately terse, unpolished, even negligent. Such indifference to linguistic norms signals that the sender operates beyond the rules that constrain others. They need not invest time or effort in refinement because their position ensures the message will be received, deciphered, and acted upon regardless.
The recipient, aware of the hierarchy, instinctively compensates by overlooking errors and trying to decode meaning.
In this way, this negligence is a flex, an assertion that ordinary standards of clarity and courtesy simply do not apply to the author.
This pattern echoes broader codes of elite behavior. Just as certain high-status circles treat dress codes with studied nonchalance by say wearing the "wrong" thing precisely because they can, the powerful can afford to write poorly. The more unassailable one's position, the less one needs to perform propriety in prose.
(Interestingly there's horseshoe theory in action here where the only other people who will refuse to conform to linguistic standards are the indignant anti-imperialist woke types who think that insisting on proper linguistic standards is basically white supremacy)

Connor Storrie on Ilya Rozanov and his russian accent in the show.
BTB: Ilya, your character, goes through so much emotional turmoil throughout the course of the first season. Was there anything you found particularly difficult to access?
CONNOR STORRIE: Honestly, not really. The character is so specific that if I believe in his circumstances for even two seconds, I can’t help but be affected. There’s so much family history and cultural weight there – especially in episodes five and six – that it just [immediately] hits you.
BTB: Your accent in the show genuinely blew my mind. I’m Polish, and I was completely convinced you were Russian before I learnt more about you. I know that you had a very intensive language course as you were filming, but were there any “tricks” – words, sentences – that you found particularly helpful to tap into the accent and the language on set?
CONNOR STORRIE: No, not really. For me, it was about time and consistency. The moment I got out of the car on set, I started speaking with the accent to all the PAs, all the ADs, hair, makeup, and wardrobe people. I stayed in it until the last cut of the day. Not because I was “in character,” but because it gave me an hour and a half to warm up. Accents feel ridiculous at first. You think, “I don’t sound like that.” Of course you don’t. But if you normalise it – both for yourself and for the people around you – it starts to feel real. I think that’s why people convince themselves they’re bad at accents. They don’t give themselves permission to sound wrong at first.

Conservatives are perpetual victims. They refuse to have empathy for strangers yet demand unconditional empathy from everyone else.

The media has successfully divided families. Shame on all of you. This woman voted for Trump, and her family won't even talk to her. How are we here?
