I did. Lets do a show about a young black woman but put a white guy in charge of the whole thing.

- Get better, Gaga!

The Xenogenesis series was just announced as optioned. AVC wrote a piece about it recently, I think

I wonder how much of this “Executive producer” credit is being actively involved in the show and how much is “The guy who created our cash cow has turned us on to another property and we’re attaching his name to it for visibility reasons.”

Since Martin didn’t write this story, he doesn’t have to do much—but he will add in some really elaborate West African feasts—oh they had giant plates of spicy suya kebabs, bowls of savory goat pepper soup, and mounds of rich jollof rice and pounded cassava.

Speaking of which, why aren’t there any Octavia Butler adaptations yet? A “Wild Seed” series would be amazing, and there is plenty of room to expand the story even without continuing to “Mind of My Mind” (but that would be terrific too).

“What you are experiencing is called a teachable moment. It is called a gift. It is called a humbling. It is called Jesus, I come to thee. It is called an awakening. It is called a growth edge. It is called hope.

James Woods doesn’t think a 24 year old dating a 17 year old is bad. He thinks a 24 year old guy dating a 17 year old guy is bad.

So not only does Tamblyn’s description of the encounter ring true, she follows/juxtaposes it with this;

I love Serena Williams so much. I love that she is just doing her thing totally unbothered while Shriekadopa tries to steal the headlines with something that happened over a decade ago. I hope Serena keeps putting out baby pics and training videos whenever Maria opens her yap.

ONE MORE TIME PEOPLE

It depends on their order. There are still cloisters, but more women are being called to serve than to retreat. My great gramma’s youngest sister lived to 96 and worked as a nurse every day for 70 years. She ‘retired’ to a closed order for about 3 years and wrote us that it was harder on her than everything that…

I worked for a catholic hospital when I was younger and while I have issues with the availability of various services being filtered through a religious lens, the nuns who ran the administration were, without a doubt, committed to a mission of social justice. Of the ones I spent time with personally, most were …

The nuns in MY high school wouldn’t have bothered with the chainsaw. They would just have chewed up those trunks and spit them out. Shout-out to Sister Janet and Sister Christopher!

Slight correction: Nuns have always been the *most* badass badasses. I’ve seen some documentaries about nuns involved in liberation theology, and, wow, they are absolutely heroic.

Not sure why this is news? Nuns have been badasses since time immemorial.

But when she ripped up that photo, Sinead was protesting and trying to get public attention on the Magdalene laundries that were yet another Catholic Church horror show. (And more to come!) The only reason the Magdalene laundries were discovered is because a developer, who had just bought land from some nuns, found a…

See, I think the typical GOP’er should spend a little less time policing our language and a little more time distancing themselves from fucking nazis.

Or...and I’m just spitballing here and I base this on absolutely nothing, just to be clear...maybe she died of a massive heart attack that was caused by the massive trauma she endured from being run over by your typical GOPer.
