Dylan said he molested her. Mariel Hemingway said he sexually harassed her. I feel pretty okay in saying that their testimonials matter enough to comment on.

I have heard it a lot in recovery circles, specifically along the lines of reclaiming sexuality post-violence. But even then, it always felt like an incomplete thought. It’s not meant to be an all encompassing expression of anything. Like there should some discussion of what it means to be empowered—if you’re

Bobby Finger is apparently a big fan. He posted about her “LA Face with an Oakland Booty” line and how she considers that empowering, and the amount of love for her in the comments was gross.

This. His films are garbage.

This. Out of the entire roster, I think it’s actually worse for Carell to be on board. He has the clout and capital to literally do whatever the fuck he wants, he’s not in danger of losing his career due to age any time soon (especially because, unlike his Bill Murray and Jim Carrey forefathers, society has accepted

I just can’t with Blake’s particular breed of bullshit.

Thank you for pointing that out. I know that there was some swirl about her a few years ago (might have been here, might have been XO, I can’t honestly remember) and I argued that she had embellished her back story to be the perfect talking head for a phenomenon she had not actually witnessed/experienced. It was the

The cases that stay with me:

OMG, the Hossencofft episode gave me nightmares because Diezen was so goddamn evil and his girlfriend, the one scared to death about Reptilian invasion or what have you was so obviously crackers.

Goddamn it I fucking hate Nancy Grace.

A thought occurred to me while reading your comment: DrWhoSoccerStar obviously doesn’t understand how words are capable of communicating violence. I have a friend who was recently slurred in a bizarre, run-by-biking incident, and she said despite knowing she was safe, could get away into the privacy of her home, and

My parents lost two children, several years apart. The second was a freak medical thing that lead many to accuse them of murdering the second. Even after they were cleared, the local media that wrote about the deaths were not kind. Somehow, though, my parents managed to avoid expressing their grief with racist

I think so. He lives with the father, who is no prince either, but at least he isn’t a junkie.

This. I have endo and IBS. I have two close friends with very active struggles with fibro. I just bailed on helping a good friend move yesterday because I spent 10 hours, curled on a bathroom floor.

Also, glorious for her to say she’s been behaving childishly when she’s issued a tell-all book that reads like a blog roll of bashing her ex and his current wife. Maybe she should have thought about the kids when she was writing about needing to get checked out for VD because her ex “banged anything in a skirt” found

Fuck, I now have more in common with Iggy and Brandi Glanville than I ever wanted to.

You didn’t display sympathy for a grieving mother. You expressed empathy for a racist and proceeded to hide behind the “grief” smokescreen.

I was raped more than a decade ago, but a few years back, I ran into him unexpectedly while at a restaurant with some family and friends. No one realized who he was, save for me; I was so traumatized that I fled into the night. One of my people followed me into the parking lot and I blurted out, “That’s the asshole

Meth is awful. I have a friend whose nephew’s hand was literally chopped off by his mother while she was strung out on meth. The nephew was a toddler and had to have the limb amputated up to his elbow.

Basically. The media is a popular target of both the left and the right, and what’s the media made up of? Reporters. That the reporter was a black woman made her that much more convenient as a target.
