Cracker is a racial slur.

Hey drop your agency name, they need to implement some anti-racism training asap 👌🏼

Don’t just blame the agency and brand. If you know licensing, the record label had to sign off on it (got paid) and if janelle owns the rights, she got paid as well.

Janelle fine as hell don’t tell her what to do

So it’s helping to normalize talking about being queer?

Wait. Why is this a problem?

i hope janelle uses all the money they had to pay her for the song to help the lives of members of the lgbtq community

Successful ad — I didn’t feel things about Ritz, I do feel things about Janelle, and I now feel things about Ritz ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

As if music isn't literally made for profit. Settle down, no one gaf once that check is cashed.

Colleague has put in his resignation. They are offering him whatever he wants to stay including 4days a week work from home. He’s not bluffing and plans to leave. However, at this same time I was asked to begin working as a supervisor for the engineering team and I would get a promotion at the beginning of the year. I have been supervising and managing our team of 6 for months with no extra pay or bonuses. I was told yesterday that raises will be light this year. Yet today they spare nothing.
