Nah, I can’t leave this alone — as someone who’s also bi and married to a straight man (but has never come out, except to my spouse), I can tell you that it’s not the fear of my Mormon relatives’ response that keeps me in the closet. They’re bigots and I know it and it is what it is. It’s people like you, who are…

Also these magazine appearances almost always coincide with promoting something or other, just like late show tv appearances or rounds on morning shows. They’re hired to talk about the product. She didn’t have to come out here but she did. Yes shilling her silly workout in connection to something serious like her…

So snark on Kinrgy, not her coming out.

It's not unclear that you're bi and I'm glad you get to speak on it.  I'm unmarried but bi.  But this came off...overly snarky.  I'm no fan of hers but isn't she from a super religious background and kind of held up as that sort of paragon? Sounds like a hard situation to come out in.  Let's embrace her, not snark on…

That being said, they still need to be held to account, to some extent

Having your child die a gruesome death from a horrible mistake seems like punishment enough.

I mean, the men weren’t much to write home about either. Every single prince is a straight up dope. I always read it more as having higher expectations of yourself, regardless of gender, than trying to be something other than a princess, and striving towards manly pursuits. Cimorene thinks that most of the men are…

Cimorene doesn’t ever really meet a lot of girls outside of high society (or in general), so I didn’t really feel that way. In general, there are significantly more male characters in the entire series. I definitely felt that Cimorene was defying expectations of her role as a princess, rather than as a woman. She…

Respectfully, I think this essay might be stronger if, instead of trying to contrast the McKinley book, you tried to compare how each work tries to tell a feminist tale, and whether or not each does or does not fall short on the merits, or is Of Its Time. Because while I don’t know McKinley’s book, I do know there’s…

I really loved Patricia C Wrede’s Enchanted Forest Chronicles. I’ve reread them several times as an adult, and I am so glad someone got them in my hands as a young teen. I definitely understood from reading those books, and from Ella Enchanted, that the overarching theme in Improper Princess books was that being…

Assholes tend to find more success than they deserve. 

Ugh  Also don’t let your Cat sit on your computer

Pro-tip, don’t let your car sit on your computer.   Even if he isn’t puking, his hair is getting pulled into the damn thing

The lesson here is clear:

Joule thief!

At the risk of outing myself as having terrible taste in film, does anyone else find most of his work unwatchable? I’ve just never understood the appeal of such a high violence to plot ratio and it’s really off-putting to me.

i never hated her before, and i have no intention of starting now.

Why should we hate Anne Hathaway again?? She is openly talking about infertility issues, which is still kind of a taboo to talk about, because it’s all woman’s fault. 

Arctic is burning. Amazon is being cut down at an incredible rate. Hurricanes are dropping more water as the climate changes. Unplanned Medical services can financial cripple a large chunk of Americans. Wages haven’t gone up in years. And I got an headache.

I have long detested Anna Wintour for a variety of reasons but she has deployed her snobbishness and pettiness in answering this question that has almost made me like her! BTW Michelle Obama is all the things Wintour says she is.....! There is no dispute here.
