Good for you. I think the problem with creative professions is that everyone who starts a blog, buys a digital camera, or a Mac with Adobe software, or an instrument thinks they can do what we do, and therefore we don't deserve to be paid. The study and practice and raw talent that must come before you can call…

Yeah, the way to do it as an indie filmmaker is to hire the folks on paid work, then have them be psyched to work with you and offer to work on yours for free.

Psh! Are you kidding? I can't believe that's the way a media relations employee responded! Talk about childish. As someone who works in PR, I'm appalled and wonder how on earth this person even has a job. Expecting someone to work for free, getting called out on it and responding like this? If this is how McDonald's…

Yeah Kandy Ho isn't as fierce as she thinks she is, and honestly her lipsynch for her life was only barely better than Tempest's.

Kandy Ho's makeup game is raggedy.

Of course Jez skews young, and that's awesome! It's a big reason why I love it.

Consent is a simple word that overlooks so much. When a parent asks their kid whether they want to have sex, does the answer matter? Isn't the question wherein the wrong lies?

What is also fucked up about that picture is that Amber started stripping so that she could support her family and she did it at a very young age (15), she wasn't privileged like the Kardashians were and maybe due to the fact she had to deal with being sexualized at such a young age she sees how fucked up this…

Privileged grown ass adults giving the middle finger in pictures look so fucking ridiculous. Oh, yeah, you're such a hard ass at your red carpet premiere. You're so badass with your margaritas at Chili's flipping the camera off. You're such a rebel at your friend's bachelor party, cigar in mouth, flipping everyone off…

Oh, I agree with you on that.

Where is her long essay about this, where she really makes a case? She has no case. So she tweets. (...) No case for why formulaic fiction ought to be reviewed in the New York Times.

I can't speak to Weiner, but I don't find Picoult at all literary even though her books are about Serious Issues. Picoult isn't interested in getting to the "truth" of the human condition, she just wants to write a sensational story.

It was my 48th birthday yesterday. THISSSSSSS.

THIS. A thousand times!

holy fk - best thing that happened to me today - those two!

I'm kind of surprised she hasn't tried to move into producing, or even some kind of Simon Cowell type role, putting pop bands together.

I am SO impressed by the fact that the CEO is taking full responsibility & is leading a charge on ending this harassment. Obviously I am slightly skeptical that this is only lip service but he seems genuine in the memos. I hope that other social media networks will follow Twitters lead and tell the trolls to GTFO &…

Now THAT is a response. I hope he follows through and makes Twitter a safer place because it is such an amazing tool. I love Twitter and it has the potential to really be an interesting force in the world. Let's hope this isn't just lip service.

That is a really interesting take, the idea that they think their healthy habits will keep them from getting sick. This is something we're sold by both mainstream and alternative society all the time— that getting sick is your fault and you can prevent it by just being healthy enough (this is also why we love to hate…

I know this makes me sound like such a pedant but I think this demonstrates that American schools need to do a better job of teaching research skills. We're just swimming in a sea of garbage misinformation all day every day, and people just aren't getting the tools to sort through all their various sources.
