It’s amazing how such an incredible and warm and heartfelt show has a fandom that is such a trashfire.

Jodie is a super interesting character in her own right. But her and Daria were never close friends and my eyes will bug out like Mr. DeMartino’s if they shortchange Jane.

I’m still waiting for someone to do Kathy Griffin.

I am so sorry about what happened to you, and I am sorry that other people using similar language for physical sexual harassment causes you further pain.

We don’t have words for explaining the complete and utter devastation after a certain threshold. Some of those people haven’t experienced anything worse, so they…

That was my reaction to the piece as well. I wasn’t sexually abused as a child, but I was emotionally and physically abused by my alcoholic father, severely bullied for my entire public school career, and raped in university. I’ve done a lot of work on it through therapy over the years, but it never quite goes away.…

This! The whole Jesus thing in King of Carrot flowers parts 2&3 ruins it for me. But that run (Two-Headed Boy,” “The Fool,” and “Holland 1945") is absolutely breathtaking.

I don’t think it’s going to be as tied to the show when she grows up, and it’s not a bad character to be tied to! I don’t think it’s going to be relevant to non-millennials and non-gen xers.

I’d definitely consider naming a future kid Dana for Dana Scully, for example.

That was a beautiful eulogy. I’ll keep you in my thoughts.

Can confirm — my Italian-American dad’s side of the family is full of firemen and cops who are racist assholes. I’m not in contact with them, since they were so nasty to my Jewish mom.

This was my absolute FAVORITE thing to watch when I was home sick as a kid (Besides the Sonic The Hedgehog show that was in syndication) so I’m entirely too excited for this.

If you like that Antony and the Johnsons cover, you’ll probably like CEO’s (formerly of Swedish indie pop darlings’ The Tough Alliance) cover of Halo. A friend described it as “a dance party at the end of the world” and I think it’s pretty apt!

God, I miss fireflies. And katydids. And singing frogs. I grew up in the Poconos, in the middle of the woods. I hated it, at the time, but now that I’m approaching 30 I miss all of the nature I took for granted. Black bears and their cubs destroying my mom’s garden, finding red spotted newt efts after it rained, wild…

This is such a fantastic story and reading it made my day!

Oh man I came to post this. She kicked so much ass in that film, I don’t understand why it got such mixed reviews when most Bond films have even dumber plots.

This is what happened to break up my 8 year relationship. It was all about how my behavior hurt him, not how the relationship changed because he changed...

Jorge, how can I get in touch with you and Maria? I live in Stockholm and have connections to activist groups here (and also have connections in Södermanland, in the Eskilstuna/Västerås area, which if she’s 2 hours out of Stockholm she might be near to).

If I don’t know someone who can help (I’m an immigrant myself) I…

Lots of them in Karelia - ethnic Finns and Sami still live there.

This might be a little odd, but this post + your username made me smile. Keep fighting the good fight!

I’ve lost a local accent (brooklynese) due to globalization and an ancestral language (yiddish) due to forced assimilation. And none of that compares to what has happened to native peoples around the world. I’m mortified.
