Ugh. Did he feel good about what he was doing for those kids? I don’t know if I could. I’m not sure the compensation would be enough for me to not feel slimy.

Hahaha, this is so appropriate to me right now. I’m an MFA film student prepping my thesis that I will shoot this summer. Today, I’m having a text conversation with a guy who I don’t know about it. It went something like this:

I think my biggest problem with her character is the actress playing her - I think she’s too young. She looks like a lil baby, and I have a hard time taking seriously the overwrought actions of someone who doesn’t seem like they’ve lived through some serious shit in life.

On the people who won’t talk about money with you - that’s bullshit. I’m not saying they’re a bad person, but you should seek out someone who feels secure enough to be honest with you. When I encounter people like this, it’s usually because they worry I’m going to copy their business practice or steal clients. That’s…

Or even a few shares of company stock? How is that so hard.

I know that - that’s what I’m saying. In my comment, I was observing that her statements about giving money directly to women mirror what many anti-tax republicans and libertarians say about corporations and big business and rich individuals not having to pay taxes, because supposedly they are putting their wealth…

Can I ask a question? I’m reading this, which I wholly agree with by the way, but I’m noticing that what she’s saying has some similarity to the arguments of political factions in our country that mostly work against paying money into communal and social services.

You mention adoration, and I think that’s such an interesting idea when someone is attracted to someone who is an artist. I feel like I see this all the time among men who are attracted to artistic women - he loves her because she represents this dream of the feminine ideal, and he wants to possess her in a way, and…

I didn’t realize there was a “Band Wife” blog. I’m going to check it out, but I know it’s absolutely going to enrage me. I never dated a musician, I think because from the people I observed, it was obvious that their girlfriends always take a back seat to their “Careers” and their “Art.” (I put these in quotation…

Maybe it’s because of the insanity that Keith knows he wrought on her life? Maybe it’s because he’s protective of her, and doesn’t want her getting sucked back into to Tom’s batshit crazy world? He may not necessarily be bad and controlling - maybe he’s actually looking out for the emotional health of his wife.

There’s also the strategy, when dealing with someone who is an obvious, controlling narcissist / sociopath, of stepping back and letting other people eventually see the reality of who that person is, when the facade eventually crumbles. Having experienced things like this myself, when you have no power in a situation…

Regarding some religious things though, it kind of makes sense. As we know, some forms of Islam can be pretty conservative - for instance, beliefs barring homosexuality align pretty closely with typical Republican policy. And I can see certain Muslims appreciating the centrality of religion to the Republican platform,…

“The Claw” - What a terrible and yet appropriate nickname for a rapist. And I can’t believe his sister was so stupid to put that on a fucking t-shirt.

I meant to write *supplementing*

I’m currently working on a graduate degree, hoping to teach, and I’ve been thinking a lot about this stuff lately, and how it relates to the current economic bubble with regard to higher education and student loans. I think there’s an interesting consequence to receiving this sort of help that makes a lot of people -…

I’m not criticising, just pointing out the irony :)

The CSM article said that the average stay for people in refugee camps is 17 yrs....holy shit.

This is the OTHER tiny house movement. You know, the one about avoiding being killed by extremists, rather supplenting your bourgeois rustic lifestyle.
