So Seattle progressives are spineless, too? Good to know.

Love Groff and have read all of her works. Monsters of Templeton has so far been my favorite, but I LOVE a good collection of short stories. Groff, Karen Russell and Jennifer Egan make for such delicious fantastical reads. Some of my favorite contemporary female writers.

I know that many aren’t really fans here, but I loved Anthony Bourdain. I read his book many years ago and related to him so deeply. A person that also struggled with drugs and depression. This makes me really sad.

I’d like to make a request. Although I agree this show is behind the times in terms of progressive feminist thought, this is the only place I’ve found where watchers can talk about the show without being bombarded with comments about how fat acceptance is wrong or bad. So could we have at least small weekly posts so…

You mean ****ercream birthday cakes.

But... but... what about The Last Man On Earth????? :’-(

I’m liking Kathryn this season as well. I wish Naomi could put a chokehold on her popping off. It makes for good TV, but man she looks like an ass when she goes too far. Plus what she’s saying is not wrong, but angrily yelling it at people does you no good. And I don’t even mind Craig this season with his sad sewing…

I am an unabashed reality TV addict, but I might have to break up with Southern Charm. Every single person in the cast (especially T Rav and his new gold digger girlfriend) absolutely sucks.

that the critics don’t see this men’s issue as toxic is actually a shock to me.

I need to know if he’s IN THAT TOWN HALL PHOTO...you know the one...People have scrutinized over it so long...was he there?

The only photos of Michelle we have rights to are of her alongside Patton. So it was either a close, awkward crop, or something resembling the one I used, which I think is actually sort of sweet—especially because he has continued her work.

You used to be able to fire cops for shoplifting? You can’t even fire them today for murder.

Yes. And a lot of it looks like a knock-off of those gaudy Pnina gowns.

Thank you for this well-written and gut-wrenching article. Having recently gone through one of those “life-upending” tragedies - my father, a historically non-violent person, killed my mother and then himself, completely out of the blue - I find myself thinking about mental illness and where accountability…

It’s different because Hillary was a threat.

Rick “Jazz Hands” Santorum and anyone else spewing this level of stupid should have to tour a morgue after a shooting and see what exactly they are dealing with. How you going to do CPR when there is no chest left, Rick? Where do you do compressions if the heart is pretty much gloppy soup?

Hi everyone! It’s been a while since I updated everyone. Several months ago I started posting about my abusive marriage and really appreciated everyone’s support as I prepared to leave. Now I am here to update everyone that I have been gone a little over 3 months. I am in my dream apartment. It might not be much to…
