Oh, I’m familiar with that scene. I don’t know, maybe it makes me a soppy Old, but Girli’s complete lack of posturing about being anything but a seventeen year-old girl, and her willingness to pen a queer love song, is refreshing to me.
Ohhhh my god. Look, I don’t know how I can possibly explain it better than Clover has, but I’ll try to be succinct:
Final thought!
All through this article producers and directors are trying to get her to go pop instead of hip-hop, and when she finally does try to do hip-hop everyone holds it against her that she is white.
...Man, I think I’m going to keep coming back to this piece all day, thinking about it more. Upon reflection, this bit is really sticking with me:
This is amazing — thoroughly researched, relentlessly argued and really compellingly written. Thank you for making my morning with it!
Yeah - which means there’s double the amount of historical content being produced. Which is a good thing!
In the way where it only does US history? I mean, I understand its purview, but it’s still limited.
Oh it’s on a pretty obscure channel called “sketchy Eastern European streaming domains that are probably rotting my computer from the inside.”
I LOVE British Drunk History! Not only does it solve the US version’s parochialism (there’s so much more amazing history out there, guys!), it’s a chance to see some of my favorite British panel show guests like Romesh Ranganathan in the clip above and Jack Whitehall as Sir Walter Releigh!
She’s not “oddly prepared” — asking complicated policy questions is one of the ways beauty pageants try to seem legit.
Anyone else think that’s definitely a woman’s handwriting? (As a woman, it immediately stood out to me.)

That’s how the framework was set up, and it works for asexuals — they are attracted to no one, ie, no genders. But telling me you’re demisexual tells me absolutely zilch about the people you’re sexually attracted to. It just…
There are plenty of people who don’t experience sexual arousal outside of their fetish interests, though. And fetishists also tend to pair their fetish with a gender-based orientation — e.g., gay sadomasochists or straight foot-fetishists. I really don’t see how demisexuality is different.
I think demisexuality is real, but I don’t think that makes it a sexuality? To me, sexuality describes who you’re attracted to — and more specifically, their gender — but not the conditions by which you become attracted to someone. Demisexuality is basically a fetish for interpersonal intimacy. Just like people who…
The wall seems to be stymied politically in the states, whereas settlement in Israel is constantly increasing in the last decade — nearly 800,000 Israeli citizens live in either the West Bank or East Jerusalem. And whereas the wall is still hugely controversial in the US, and quite likely to never be built,…
When I went to Mississippi this spring, I wound up staying a few blocks away from the Jefferson Davis Presidential Library and Museum.
Building settlements on land that no fair-minded arbiter has ever suggested would be part of an independent Palestinian state suggests otherwise.
