this. i was going to, i was, and then i realized it would require a tiny bit of effort and i changed my mind.

I pretty much didn’t change my name after my marriage out of laziness, but I lied to my husband and said I Felt Strongly About The Patriarchy And My Name is My Name.

Yeah. I read “decreases brain stuff” and I thought, THAT’S THE WHOLE DAMNED POINT.

25% of all profits from her fragrances, jewelry collection (QVC), and image go to her AIDS foundation. She also left it a good chunk of her estate as well as endowing it in her lifetime.

When other actors were distancing themselves, Elizabeth was out in front of the AIDS epidemic. She stood up for the victims of AIDS and helped de-stigmatize them. She was the face of compassion for AIDS victims. I’m absolutely positive that without her many more AIDS victims would have died, many of them alone,…

She was a great actress. Even in her early stuff, she knew how to turn a glance into a paragraph. And her turn as Martha in ‘Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?’ was brillaint. She did become a bit of a parody in her later years, but she’d done it all in her life and I suppose got a little bored.

i would be suspicious of any guy that wanted to simulate rape. i make no apologies for that and if it makes me judgmental or a bad feminist or whatever then i can totally live with that.

Please remember that kink shaming is not okay

Having a problem with porn that exists to satisfy men’s rape fantasies doesn’t make you sex negative, any more than you being okay with it makes you the enlightened feminist scholar you think it does.

Hey, how about not trotting out “sex-negative” in a post where someone in BDSM raped a woman despite her use of safewords, huh? Maybe realize that “sex-negative” is the new way to say “frigid” and stop using it, because the idea that we can’t discuss how damaging certain aspects of sex can be to women is horseshit.

There’s nothing un-feminist about rape fantasies and I’m totally pro-kink, but I have trouble endorsing them as positive sexual outlets when they’re from the point of view of the rapist. Most porn is shot for men, marketed to men, including the videos to which I’m referring.

Going on a film’s grosses is an idiotic means to measure a film’s worth: The Hurt Locker earned only $15 million in total...and this was after the boost that winning an Oscar normally gives. By your money standards, Selma is more than three times a better film than The Hurt Locker. (Selma earned more without having…

This is sort of a growing pain, don’t you think? An over correction, I think we’ll work this stuff out as we continue to work out the effects of colonialism. I hope.

It’s weird. I know that as a child of the 80s, I am the product of years of THE WORLD’S MOST TERRIFYING ADVERTISING about HIV/AIDS. Those TV ads here in the UK were honestly trouser-wettingly scary for a young brain, and the fear they inculcated in my generation was real, man. It went deep. Still does. And even though…

I don’t know if they changed dates but Justin was not on Today this morning—just Charlie. They showed a taped piece on him skateboarding with Tamron Hall, but I think they said his live concert where he’d be in the studio is actually tomorrow.

Gossip Cop says it’s fake and that Justin’s interview was pre-taped (it was supposed to air earlier but got pushed back because of the Paris attacks) so he isn’t even there. http://www.gossipcop.com/justin-bieber-…

Nope. This guy doesn’t get a pass based on the number of human beings you step over on a regular basis.

On a related note: I know it sounds grim, but folks, put your name down on your driver’s license as a donor. Speaking as the child of someone who got an extra five years of life due to generous strangers, you can’t imagine how treasured and valuable these donations are.

Excuse me while I miss the point, but that is a lovely baby name though. Carolyn Rose Brown sounds like fucking poet.

see this kind of story is why I lose my mind if my period’s two weeks late even though I haven’t seen a dick in a year
