Into Thin Air, is great. Can you imagine if it had been marketed as journey of self-discovery? Her experience involved at least as much peril. Her story exposes, from her point of view, how a part of a deeply shrouded country operates. How is this different from Krakauer? He was in constant danger and he exposed a lot…

You do realize that investigative journalism has a long history and tradition of first-hand narrative-style writings, right? Nellie Bly was doing it a century ago?

I would like to point you to Ted Conover. For his book Newjack, he took a job as a prison guard for a year and wrote about his experiences there. Much like Kim, he immersed himself in a dangerous situation and then wrote a first-person book. But Conover's work is considered literary journalism. He is well-respected as…

I’ve had to argue with people to say that it was legitimate sci-fi (it’s set in an alternate future with multiple invented technologies). Funny how male geeks tend to omit female written novels when it comes to “true” sci-fi.

This is exactly how men writing novels is “literary fiction” but the same book written by a woman is categorized as “romance.”

It wasn’t supposed to be an academic study. It was supposed to be journalism.

And how many writers really have enough clout to choose their publisher? You want to get published, you take what you can get. (And which major publisher that takes women as seriously as men should she have picked? This is an industry-wide…

You know how women are; doing years of preparation, risking their lives, living in a country where they might be killed if they are found out, trying to tell the world about conditions that are deliberately hidden from us- you know, girl stuff. You can’t take it too seriously, you know how emotional they get about…

Seriously, I just want Arya and Nymeria to reuinite. In slo mo. Across a dappled meadow.

This is insulting to her journalistic integrity and how much risk she took, but not surprising. I have noticed that a lot of books authored by women are marketed to fail. A few years ago, I decided to make an effort to read more female authors (and have read some amazing books as a result), but I can't get past the…

This is exactly how men writing novels is “literary fiction” but the same book written by a woman is categorized as “romance.”

Depressing, but not surprising.

Nah, I think she’s drawing “Queen Lyanna Mormont, First of Her Name” in between doodles of herself on the Iron Throne.

I just want to know if Tommen’s cat, Ser Pounce, is still alive. If so, who will take care of him?

I’m sorry is he... is he implying that maybe Lolita is the “demon” in that story because men = dumb and women = sophisticated? What the actual fuck.

I love how this dude keeps yammering on and on about how authentic to the real fashion industry his film is, and then he sets it in Los Angeles.

Jesus, please don't do that.

Yup. Woman are always made to feel like they are overreacting if they find a man creepy. We’re supposed to be understanding of gross behavior and write it off as “social awkwardness.” Fuck that noise. Trust your gut ladies.

part of me is like ‘yay gun control!’ and then the other part of me is like ‘lol terror lists with no due process! noooooo’

If this goes through it won’t keep anybody safer, none of the mass shooters we’ve seen in the news were on the watchlist, this legislation wouldn’t have stopped the legal purchase of the weapons used at Pulse or at Sandy Hook.
