I didn’t chew out “the kid,” who was probably in his mid-20s, not much younger than me at the time. I was friendly about it, but insistent. I had a dog up there in a hot, stuffy apartment, and a couple of elderly neighbors who’d been standing around on the sidewalk with their own dog that they couldn’t get to.

As someone who recently nearly died likely because of my birth control pill at the ripe old age of 29 (hello, pulmonary embolism), I find the woo-woo concerns about hormonal birth control really frustrating. I had originally gone on birth control to modulate my extreme depressive swings around my period (in addition…

But the thing is what was so strange about the story I told (“horror story” was a little much) is that there was absolutely no warning. No signs, no nothing. Had there been I would have kenneled my dog and waited it all out at a nearby bar or a friend’s apartment or something. As it was they were down there until well…

Your film shoot horror story is that you were a jerk to a group of PAs who were just doing their jobs?

Whatever disgusting juice inhabits his vape?

I will eat my fucking hat if the number of people owning Airpods and fucking in them is actually 17%.  That’s definitely a fake fucking study.

But have you heard about rolling your clothes when you pack? I totally invented that.

Has Kondo even said she created this method. If you think about it’s folding fucking cloth. I bet tons of people have invented this method all over the world and thought they were the first to make it. So what.

I’m actually fine with Jon killing Daeny—I feel like there are plenty of strong narrative reasons why this makes sense and could be satisfying end—but I’m not okay with how they had it play out.

Thing is, we all knew that. The show was just kind of not good for the last few seasons.

For anyone who wants to read more about the human side of the disaster, definitely pick up Voices from Chernobyl by Svetlana Alexievich. The writer of the tv show based parts of the miniseries on her work (Lyudmilla Ignatenko is someone she originally interviewed).

Later on, after Torres delivered her burn, New Jersey Rep. Christopher Smith called the reproductive rights movement a “modern-day flat earth society.”

How about “Rape isn’t exclusive to penises.” You can still force all kinds of sexual acts on someone without the involvement of a penis. I understand chemical castration is also intended to lower libido and desire, and that is where the “Rape isn’t (just) about sex” part comes in. It could be about power, control,…

I will probably get chewed out for this, so let me preface this with a couple things:

Except you can rape someone without a penis. 

No. This is just a kneejerk reaction by people who don’t understand sexual abuse and sexuality. The shots will make these men impotent and maybe decrease their sex drive, but you don’t need an erection to sexually abuse someone, and not all abuse is about getting off. Some sick bastards are sadists and if their…

Okay... but how often do you see articles on Whoopi Goldberg that refer to her as Caryn Johnson? We should respect the name he’s chosen to go by.

Yeah, they do have private jet access and a whole lot of bribe money, so best case scenario, they’re instagramming from Canada.

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking.

Oh man. Yogurts are a mine field.
