Maya Angelou and Sally Ride to be honored on quarters

Where the FUCK is the Helen Lawson silver dollar?

Go, Sally!

Lesbians represent!

Ride Sally mere second woman in space.

She never ate MY snatch!

Is she working a mullet?

Toni’s too difficult a writer for mass appeal.

R5 I agree. Angelou is the Robert Frost of her time- not a great poet but a well-known one.

^ huh?

Frost is a great poet btw.

My visage

Not even enough for a butter finger

Perhaps eight of me for thee

No, I don’t need a goddamn bag

Maya Angelou plagarized. Bill Clinton gave her an audience she never would have had on her own. Sally Ride? Yes!

Will the other side of Maya's quarter have Froot Loops, Butterfinger or Pennzoil?

Appropriate, since that's how much she charged for a blowjob.

I demand at least one disabled trans person of color on a silver dollar.. Otherwise, this is LITERAL VIOLENCE.

Totally agree. Morrison, along with Cormac McCarthy, is the best novelist who wrote during the past 40 years.

The artistic value of both designs isn't worth a plug nickel.

Sally Ride - absolutely.

If the choice is Angelou or Morrison, I have to give the edge to Morrrison, as well.

Too bad that Octavia Butler is considered a "genre" author in science fiction, rather than simply an author.

Ms. Morrison has only been dead since 2019. Pushing people through the bureaucracy takes time. Shit, Maya’s been dead since 2014.

All these people will get cancelled by our grandchildren.

R18, if they're Democrats you'll cancel them ASAP like you did with the Dixie Chicks

That tedious blowhard ? Why not the young chick with the flower pot on her head ?

I'm very proud to see the first lesbian to adorn US currency. Love you, Sally!

I have read about Angelou being plagiarized, but not the other way around. Not sure what R10 is referring to. I love Angelou.

Angelou was an asshole. She treated everyone around her like garbage. A pompous phony.

Yeah wasn't Maya a madam? They out here putting madams on coins now gurl?

I’m airbrushing my official picture for the coin even as we speak!

Why is Maya dressed like a maid and cleaning out a birdcage?

Well, I just learned something today. Sally Ride is NOT the broad who blew up in the Challenger explosion.

I blame Billy Joel and that dumb song of his.

I love that Sally's sister's nickname was Bear. I believe it was Bear who announced Sally's passing.

Is being big embarrassment for whole of country! Imagine!

What's the birdcage for?

If people here have to ask what the birdcage is for I guess Maya is not popular enough to be a on quarter? Or more people need to pick up a book?

Books collect dust.

Hardback books are like gravestones.

j just wonder when Claude Shannon and Richard Feynman will be put on quarters.

I Know Why the Caged Meat Pings

The Sally Ride quarter did a good job of capturing her noble desire to increase humankind’s understanding of space. Maya’s expression is the perfect amount of sassiness.

I'm waiting for the Julia Roberts/Harriet Tubman quarter.

A problem is that Angelou doesn’t look right depicted on silverish metal. She’s end up with the same skin color and lightness as Ride.

r11, those skits were great send-ups of Dr Angelou. David Alan Grier is hilarious in them. “Frooty loops. LOOPS OF FRUIT... the kum-QUAT... the ki-WI... the plan-TAIN”
