When my sister was in her late 30s, she wanted to go egg my high school when we were home for the holidays. I told her that I’d already done that 20 years ago and didn’t care anymore, but she was really insistent on doing something like that and she knew I had “ideas.” I told her I had a government job that I didn’t…

This is a combination that doesn’t really exist in other states at the level that exists here in Georgia.

My thoughts exactly.

I know, and beloved is almost understating it. It was repeated for ever during the 70s and 80s, then lots of merch in I want to say in the noughties for the twenty and thirty somethings in the first retro wave.

Shout out to all the other Gen Xers feeling ancient after reading this article’s anthropological tone about weird stuff 70s and 80s kids liked. LOL. Reminds me of the time we had to explain to a certain other ex-Jezebel writer that “Baby Got Back” was a popular 80s song people enjoy quoting.

It’s understandable to be disappointed and angry at having to cancel a big, expensive event, but honestly, it’s not February. COVID has been in the headlines for effin’ months, and there is nothing short of actual life and death situations that has to be done right now.

Thank you! I thought I was taking crazy pills when I saw all the upvotes on this comment. COVID deaths in the US just surpassed 250k and millions of people and small businesses are on the brink of utter financial ruin. I am trying to imagine the type of person who considers being asked for gift ideas in 2020 as such…

Your story for “Jax Shepard” should read “Jax Taylor.” Dax Shepard is the male betrothed of Kristen Bell.

Looking forward to checking this out! I briefly worked in special education and with the right evironment and director, plenty of my students would have been perfectly capable of acting in a film AND giving honest input on whether the story represents their experiences. Sure, some things might need to be adjusted, but…

“Anything handcrafted, made with your own hands.” One year a niece made the suggestion that we exchange handmade gifts. Some people may be into this but holy hell, it was a shit show. I’m not a crafty person and the dread hanging over my head for this event was numbing. So if I asked my in-laws what they wanted for…

Synesthesia isn’t classified as a disability so no, I wouldn’t call it “having an abled person play a differently abled person’.

Ok. This is a bridge too far. What is this Gilbert Grape bullshit? I know this probably will get lost in the grays, but my brother has autism, and I made a short film with an autistic character in it so that we could increase representation. I went to great lengths to find an actor ACTUALLY ON THE SPECTRUM to play…

God - this stinks of trying to personally capitalize on increased awareness of disability with a vague nod to decreasing stigma without actually doing any of the work.

Are we really going to believe there were no disabled actors that could have done this justice? Really?

This is a truly terrible idea. Truly. If they wanted a person who sees the world differently so they could do whimsical musical sequences, they could have made the story about someone who has synesthesia, where you see music as colors or something like that.

I would have maybe started by.... meeting some folks with autism? 

“Coming out of the election right now, we’ve got to stabilize. This country’s got to stabilize first before we start to say okay, here’s how we’re marching out of this together forward,” he said.

Texas is going to be soooo high.

Drunk and ready to piss on his grave?...oh wait, that’s me.

Michael B. Jordan can, in my honest opinion, GET IT. Damn the man is hot. It’s a meaningless award blah blah blah HOT. His voting thirst trap should be framed.
