Back in the day, when Kanye spoke about possibly aborting their eldest child on stage, I figured that would be the end of their relationship. Talk about a huge boundary violation, particularly involving a small child. So, when Kanye, started to get up in Kim’s business about North being on TikTok, it really gave me…

I occasionally talk with cis women whose partners are transitioning and one thing that always interests me is how gender/sexual identity is a social endeavor. And not necessarily in a social construct sort of way, but in a “I want people walking down the street see me as gay/straight.” It seems like a very small point…

I’m surprised you didn’t mention Elizabeth Ragsdale’s interview which I thought was really illuminating about how abusive Simon Monjack was and how that lead to Brittney’s death. I think if anything, they really didn’t lean into how abusive relationships work and how disordered eating can kill. 

Marriages are often over years before the divorce announcement, so if John Mulaney was cheating, it’s probably the least surprising thing about this.

Rob, the last thing I expected when I decided to login was an article about this obscure French film! I totally agree with your review. Is it the best movie ever? Nope. Is it enjoyable and sticks with you 20 years later? Absolument! Definitely a must-watch if you are a fan of werewolves!

Still mad that they turned Anya into a bitter old woman in that fantasy dream sequence where she accused Xander of eternally loving Buffy instead of her.

Yeah, and technically they are a *park*, so as long as they keep the crowds down and people wear masks and social distance, it’s probably not any more dangerous than going to any other regular park. 

I’ve been struggling with a traumatic experience in my life and I think the 5 stages are helpful to understand what you might be feeling. However, I think even if you arrive at the “acceptance” stage, many of the affects are still with you and will probably be with you for a very long time: PTSD, anxiety, depression,…

I was at the screening at Sundance and I’m so glad more people will get to see this film! It was fantastic and it was great to see these 60+ ladies still eager to rock out! 

“When we do see each other in person, she’s on her phone and tweets multiple times.”

I don’t know, I found J. Lo’s act so much more age appropriate than Madonna’s cheerleading antics. You’re a cheerleader? What are we? In high school?

I’m not sure what those women are thinking, but I actually went to one fertility clinic that asks people not to bring their babies/kids to their appointments. And in that case, if you are someone who is struggling with infertility, I can totally understand how having kids sitting next to you before/after you hear bad…

Yay! Glad to hear it!

I’m guessing that what happens is that many women go on to have kids normally and don’t use the eggs or they simply decide they don’t want kids. 

The place where my eggs are on ice has been in business for over 40 years and they store other tissue too. 

So, I did egg freezing at Extend Fertility at the age of 35. I had a great experience with them—in fact, I learned a whole lot about fertility and reproductive stuff that I didn’t learn in school. I was kinda really thankful for the whole experience. Like, I wish instead of reproduction being this mystical experience…

I think where Hochschild is saying “thinking of a gift and buying it” is mental and physical work, we are thinking, but if that kid enjoys/hates”the gift, you are going to have to deal with their emotional reaction to the gift and therefore you are managing their emotions. So I would agree with you--I think the whole…

I appreciate Hochschild’s precise definition of the word emotional labor—the labor of managing one’s emotions as well as others. But it seems like people are trying to make a problem when there isn’t one necessarily.

I don’t care that AOC is endorsing Bernie over Warren at this point, and I understand going for the gold on this, but lord, it really freakin’ annoys me when people bemoan “small changes.” Hilary was getting crap done while Bernie wasn’t and you know what the “small change” did? It allowed AOC to benefit from it.

A+ statement. Matt Lauer should take notes on that.
