This was an Australian man following American and European far right media.

Former first-year composition teacher here. The surprising part of this story is not that rich people find ridiculous ways of getting their know-nothing children into fancy schools. It is that all the socially acceptable methods were apparently not enough: expensive tutors, ghost writers for important essays, legacy…

I read an interesting take on this somewhere in the Twitterverse: namely, that although broke schmoes like me are horrified by this whole situation on a million levels, there’s another part of this story that is additionally awful and being overlooked: the people in trouble right now were not even the RIGHT kind of…

I worked on a film in 2008 as a cameraman. The DP was shit, but he was the childhood friend of the director. Anyway, when we fell behind schedule because the DP lost a production day not accounting for the weather for the outdoor shot, and I got the day back by telling the producers how we could should an interior…

Being fired can feel extremely lonely and scary. It’s probably different when you’re not sure how you’re going to pay your bills, but I’m sure it still sucked for Moore. I was fired and I feel like it was the end for me, I had no options, and I considered suicide. The only thing that helped (aside from getting another…

I don’t think it’s the things that shock us that are the most worrying, it’s really the things that don’t even shock us any more.

I actually really love that she’s talking about this. I had a shitty review at work this week, and feel like a total failure at life. To think that someone as respected and established as Juianne Moore could be fired kinda makes me think “you know what, no one is immune from this shit.” I know the shame she’s probably…

I loved being in a union because I knew exactly how much money I was owed and when my raises were coming. Because it was a government job I could look up everyone’s pay in a public database. Now I’m job hunting and the wage disparity is disgusting. Wage transparency should be a law. You shouldn’t have to ask what a…

And she sure can wear bright jewel tones! 

I friggin’ love Lizzo. I love that writes lyrics, according to her, in the voice of a BFF giving her friend a badass pep talk after a breakup. It works like gangbusters, all her songs are music to strut by. The world needs more Lizzo.

Winfrey said, “I have said for years that if the abuser is any good, you won’t know it’s happened... If the abuser is any good, he or she is going to make you feel like you’re part of it.”

I cannot imagine anyone I want to hear from less in this moment in history than R. Kelly. 

It’s terrible. I don’t have enough to do at my current job, and I’m constantly trying to find work or finding things to read. But I’ve noticed that when I don’t have enough work to do the office politics is unbearable. You become keenly aware of how much people are assholes, and assholes to you specifically.

Why is it always the good ones? I can think of plenty of others I’d like to see struck dead on the spot.

So sad. I will be watching my Buffy the Vampire Slayer Blu-Ray (original movie) in his honor.

It’s confusing because her severe dress and cartoonish makeup look more biddy-like than harpy-like. But I agree she is still safely within harpy range.

Meghan isn’t a biddy yet. She’s a harpy. (These are age-sensitive aspersions)

Also a whale theme sounds super adorable. 

I audibly gagged at the thought of getting ready to go down on a sexy dude, only to be punched in the face nose by some stank hot dog dick.

You can pry my bread and tortillas from my cold dead hands. Bury me in burritos.
