As I read this all that I could think of the Midwest is not wonderful place that it makes itself out to be, it is a powder keg of racial tension that is about to explode and when it does it will be hell hole of disbelief and denial.
Oh my god.
The idea that child molesters were all molested themselves is a corrosive and false idea that discourages victims from telling anyone what happened to them, lest they be branded a future pedophile for life.
To the author: Sharing this story will save children from abusive situations and will stop abusers. I am so sorry for the pain you’ve experienced, thank you for pushing through that to help others.
I am always very pro- demonstrations like this one and the woman who cut down the confederate flag a few years ago in S.C. - I think it’s the perfect amount of symbolic, disruptive, non-violent* and attention-getting. I like it. But her response to that question just makes me want to buy her a beer and hang out…
Hopefully cancer has left the Elvis.
That is rough. I’m not sure I could keep my dad from going all ballistic every day. We have physical space, which helps.
My Trump-loving Father and I got into our monthly blow up yesterday about this very thing. He had the nerve to call me delusional for saying that R v. W is gonna be one of the first things our new republican overlords will go after. He told me to “get off the script” for saying this administration is coming for us…
Wow, I’m surprised by the negative reactions to this episode. For me it was an A and a highlight of the series. I’m not sure why we’re supposed to be annoyed by the three wolf scenes, they made me feel some type of way. I didn’t read them as her being a badass/staring the wolf down. To me they were more suggestive of…
My God can the show-runners/writers just let June go?! Let her escape to Canada, please... As Allison stated, this was literally a retread of the Boston Globe episodes. I don’t care if all the show becomes is June adjusting to Canada and fighting to get her daughter back, move the damn story forward. As already stated…
A federal judge in San Diego has barred immigration enforcement agents from separating migrant children from their…
And yet you have no problem working for a man who signed an executive order to protect “religious liberties” to allow so-called “Christians” to deny service to anyone they don’t like (also known as people of color and those who are LGBTQIA). Of all the lies that have spewed forth from your vile mouth, “I always do my…
Last night I was told by the owner of Red Hen in Lexington, VA to leave because I work for @POTUS and I politely left. Her actions say far more about her than about me
No. Just a big old no to all of this. Rape is rape, forced separation of families is barbaric, Trump is bad.
I wonder if any of the writers are parents. I wonder if they understand they’ve created deliberately helpless characters.
I made a comment earlier that I’m not invested in the show for the torture. I’m in it to win it. I want to see resistance, violent resistance.
I started sobbing as the second Hannah came on screen, I’ve never cried like that over a television show. What spooky relevance. What horror. I can’t wait for season 3 – hopefully by then this will seem like a much more outlandish science fiction piece.
I read that the producers have plans for up to 10 seasons ending up after the fall of Gilead and showing Nuremberg-like trials. I want to see Gilead come crashing down, but I don’t know if I can handle 10 misery-filled seasons (even though I love the show and the performances).
I would love to get an episode that focuses on Rita and the lives of the Marthas. How that part of the system came into being. I mean, it seems rooted in racism, of course, but is it a sort of punishment, or is it a job? What separates the Marthas from, say, the family June met earlier in the season? We know that they…
