I mean, I eventually watched and enjoyed The Wire. But could they have at least asked me what my name was before lecturing me about how much I would relate to a show about drug dealers? At least?

I saw the 2009 White House performance Miranda did, where he does an early version of the musical’s opening number. When the musical finally came out, it took me months to realize that was the same guy doing the same thing. I thought it was funny - I didn’t take him seriously when he said he was writing a musical. The…

I agree, but I think it cuts both ways. I just read this interview with the awesome and talented June Diane Raphael, and she talks about writing women characters:

So true! This is that guy who does a paper on rationalization in moral equivalency, then goes around for a week seriously proposing that we eat unwanted babies. He nurses one beer all night and he has a whole philosophy about that too. He doesn’t tip because it’s extortion. Extremely insecure freshman girls dig his…

Nailed it

YES. Obvious Child. It’s actually one of my favorite movies, and I got to see an interview with Gillian Robespierre (director and screenwriter) and Jenny Slate, which was pretty rad.

Oh. My. God.

SPOILER ALERT: just finished reading “Me After You” and....yep.

It’s an extremely tired trope. I’m also so sick of seeing it everywhere. Also included in tired female tropes ‘not being able to have babies'

In fairness boys are very clever and have big boy brains so they can have many talents. Whereas girls can really only focus on one so its best to keep them out of harms way and just let them play make believe with dolls so their tiny girl brains don’t explode.

My neighbor. I was at a town council meeting last night where she respectfully pressed the mayor for an update on when a new police officer will be hired. She's a phenomenon.

Holy heck she’s actually a crime reporter. Like that isn’t a joke title she’s really doing responsible proper journalism any adult journalist would have to recognise as journalism!

“Hilde, I think this is appalling that u would do a story like this when all the facts are not in yet,”

You go, girls! The Lysiak girls sound like great kids. Hilde, the next time someone gives you grief and says you should be playing with dolls, ask them if they would say that if you were a boy. I bet they wouldn’t.

All of the comments she reads in the video are dumb and bad, but “sensationalist trash” doesn’t even make sense. Her original article was pretty short and matter-of-fact.

This kid is a badass. I’m thinking about subscribing just so I can support her.

Not JUST because you’re 9 Hilde, but because you’re a “cute nine year-old girl.” And fuck them so hard. Anna, can we get her a paying gig?

I love that she giggled because she was saying a word that her parents wouldn’t let her say normally. But, damn going after a kid for being too ‘sensationalized’ is insane. She’s protected the identities of the people involved. Unlike some new agencies who accidentally (or not) doxx reporters who’ve been assaulted at…

Hilde is a badass name for this young wordsmith.
