“It was his frustrated sigh and, “Ugh, this thing,” a whine about it not feeling good. If sex is about pleasing your partner, it was seeing a partner unpleased. It was another page in a history of people-pleasing, of stepping over myself to give others what I think they want from me. It was an excuse to do the thing I…

The world-building montage (haberdasher, armory, map expert) was literally my favorite part of the second one, LOL.
The scene with Viggo and his son, and the lead up to it (“oh”), is also my favorite part of the movie. Usually the rule is “show don’t tell”, but they do such a masterful, fun job of building up the legend of John Wick that you know everything you need to about this world when all hell breaks loose. The structure of…
When someone feels the need to point out that their apology is “unresevered” it’s pretty much a given that they have reservations about it.
Oh Piven, it’s very productive to call you assholes out. You probably just can’t see it from your angle considering you’ve been accused of being a creepy shit on repeat.
I’ve come to a point where I have decided to believe ALL rumors of sexual assault and harassment. I’d rather side with a victim and be proved wrong than leap to the defense of a predator in the name of lofty ideals like “fairness”, thereby making it more difficult for women to come forward. There is nothing fair about…
≥≥Megyn Kelly joked that she could have just given the motorcade a thumbs-down and avoided this whole mess.≤≤
To quote the great and wise Aja, “I don’t want to be the one, but I’m gonna be the one”: I’m finding it difficult to muster sympathy for the man that screamed about “his freedoms” at the TSA while being detained on his way to an antiabortion rally, who only opposed GOP ACA repeals because they weren’t cruel enough.
And, if my anecdata from college can be trusted, approach every self-proclaimed male feminist with a healthy dose of skepticism, as they have a nasty habit of mansplaining feminism to you and/or using it as a buzzword to try to wheedle you into casual sex with them. (Because if you were a good feminist, you’d be…
men can be feminists, but don’t trust a single fucking one who makes a living off feminism.
Preach (heh)! I’ve never met a group of people as uncomfortable with their faith as “progressive” Catholics. Not a one of them has a good reason for why they stick with it, but damn, do they become defensive and mean when you call them on their bullshit. To a certain extent I feel bad for them because Protestant…
I just finished the 1st season and couldn’t believe how hilarious it turned it out to be.
Now that I’ve had a chance to thoroughly read the article, which is very, very good: even though this all fascinates me to death (murr hurr), I’ve found myself recently feeling very vulnerable around the idea of dying. I don’t know if it’s a “state of the world” thing or what, but when I engage in this kind of content…
Whenever someone talks to me, whatever they ask, like “how was your weekend” I always reply, it was good but what would really make it better is if you told me about yours.
OMG. The sheer number of people that go off like an NSA leak are astronomical.
Take comfort: the Japanese are unrepentant racists
Rosanne Cash wrote a great essay about trying to mourn her father while everyone else was mourning a legend, but I cannot find it.
I saw the horrible corollary to this. I volunteered at a center that provided free family law services to women. On the intake questionnaire we had the following questions: 1) Has your partner ever raped or sexually assaulted you? 2) Has your partner ever touched you or had sex with you without your consent?
