    “Is God is” (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    Hi Pumpkin.I was writing a review on Letterboxd of Is God is and I knew I needed to come and talk about it here because I unfortunately cannot add pictures to my review on Letterboxd. Anywho, I knew I was going to love Is God Is almost immediately.The opening is beautiful. Not just “pretty” but the kind of beautiful that makes you start thinking about screenshots before the film has even properly begun. I kept thinking that this opening could belong to a murder mystery. Black women, their hair,

    Hi Pumpkin.I have been trying very hard not to talk about the Chimamanda and Colleen Hoover discourse because, honestly, what exactly am I supposed to say?What exactly is there to discuss sef?At some point, you people have to leave Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie alone.Please.I am begging.In this life and the next, we do not get to disrespect Chimamanda like that!And before anybody starts shouting, “But art is subjective!” I know.I KNOW.Art is subjective.

    “Your Honor, we were never dating.” (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    Hi Pumpkin.This whole situationship discourse on Twitter has been very interesting. I think as a people, we’ve completely bastardized the meaning of the word dating.Somehow, over the last few years, we’ve managed to lump dating, situationships, relationships, and friends with benefitsinto one giant, confusing category until nobody seems to know what any of them actually mean anymore. People use the words interchangeably, then get surprised when everyone involved has completely different expectat
