smoking is terrible :(

I’m pleasantly surprised by the baby’s comments on feminism. Good baby.

AGREEEEED!!!

You know, I kind of blame Britton for that. She was an EP on the show, which means she had plenty of say in the character arc, and she chose to have Rayna be obnoxiously perfect. Character flaws and vulnerability are what make people interested and invested in a story, and Rayna was flawless. As Hugh Grant said in Two…

For reals. Not to make it about Connie versus Hayden but Hayden can SING (I never, ever bought Connie as a country legend; her singing improved over time but it was never great). And she’s an amazing actor. I hope she gets all kinds of good work after this.

Was it consensual? Yes. Did it involve children or animals? No. THEN IT’S OK, KENDRA. What a jerk.

OK, it took me a long time to get it, but I see it now that they really are cute together. I’m happy for her, she got away from that creep Tom Cruise and found happiness. You just never know who will end up being your lobster. You go, crazy kids.

I’m not pro-fighting but I acknowledge that kids do fight and always have. The victim’s death is a horrible tragedy, but also an accident. A preventable accident for sure—which makes it worse—but still an accident.

My mother has worked in the film industry a long time. And, I sent her a link to the Kristen Stewart piece from Jez last night. And, this was her response:

Man, I’ve been waiting for Azealia to be better for way too long. I get that she confronts a lot of bullshit as a black lady in the music industry, and she has legit talent, but racially abusing other artists for the fuck of it is just bonkers. Does she have any friends? Anyone being like, “Hey Azealia, maybe don’t.”?

You know what? I’m 43, and I’ve been having a hard time...uh...transitioning from beautiful young thing to Haggard Aging Thing That Has No Value. I’ve been struggling with the idea of maybe getting fillers, but also hating myself for thinking that I’m not good enough as I am. But this, that you wrote:

I get that she got into the business because of her parents but if she didn’t have any talent she wouldn’t have succeeded.

It’s like she parrots language she assumes makes her untouchable, except all of it is a lie. She’s obsessed with men in their early twenties, she’s surgeried into being terrifying, and she’s the least sexy person I’ve ever seen. Okay, she’s a little sexier than that Kim Davis person in Kentucky.

I will only listen if the track list is something like this:

Had to dive a ways down but finally, someone else here who likes Taylor’s outfit *fistbump*

Well fuck me because I MUCH prefer this look on Taylor than her normal bland crop tops and strapless satin bullshit. She looks like a different person. I am HERE FOR THIS NEW YOU, TAYLOR.

Not going to lie though if Bey asked me to see her collection of vintage back braces I would in a goddamn second.

Hillary has been my senator twice. I’ve seen her in debates for a good many years now. It’s her best skill, in terms of campaigning. No way at all that grade-school taunts and frat-boy nicknames are going to muss one hair on her head. She’s been dealing with bullies and smears, been called a murderer and a crook by…

This whole thing, especially the way it’s being written about in the media, is leaving some serious distaste in my mouth.

I feel like Beyonce is being quite direct, not really anything passive about it. She’s putting a personal experience, one that unfortunately is shared by many, in a political context. If that’s over your head it’s one thing, but it seems like if you’re reading a post about it and commenting on it, you give more than a…
