"There's no debating whether a woman can do the job. Many women have proven that they can. So why haven't they been publicly considered for any of the prominent network late-night flagship shows until recently? Closely considering the answer to that question reveals more than the obvious conclusion. It's not merely that women have been shut out of these influential positions both casually and intentionally, but that this has been their space from the beginning of the genre."

Just finished The World Record Book of Racist Stories by #AmberRuffin and #LaceyLamar and I cannot recommend it highly enough. #bookstodon

I honestly was NOT expecting to get #OrangePilled by John Oliver and Amber Ruffin, but here they are with the truth about those holiday car commercials:

"I will physically attack you if you try to make the case that bows on expensive items that depreciate the moment that they are driven off the lot. You're giving someone the gift of debt! A new car is never a good idea, a bow is not going to get you back up to level."

@Agora @KraftTea I’m hoping they ask #AmberRuffin to take over the #DailyShow I think her reach could be amazing.

#introduction Gen-X coder grrrrl who still uses an old school rotary dial telephone for the simple pleasure it gives me to hear the bell ring when I slam the receiver down on robocallers. Avid supporter of Civil Rights. Enjoy music, cooking, tennis, dogs, and two spaces at the end of a sentence. I stan Amber M. Ruffin, and if I accidentally TOOT IN ALLCAPS, please wake me from a COBOL nightmare. ☮️ #amberruffin

I've learned so much from these (yes, including corroborating it) and I haven't even finished watching them yet!
