I just re-read the whole piece and I am scratching my head even more as to why she felt compelled to waste everyone’s time when the gist of this piece is simply humblebrag about her dad and her family without even realizing the savior element tied to it. Her dad barely even talks about his work that saved, in part,…

It takes me weeks back in Brooklyn to recover.

People in the trans community are not getting more vocal, we’ve been pointing out what a shitty casting decision it was since before the show started. Just because you’re listening more, doesn’t mean we’re getting louder.

I saw an early release of it (which holy shit — I have never been in a test audience and that is sooooo cool!) and I was so moved! I also like how del Toro picks a color to be the cinematic theme of the story. The green hues were so beautiful. Cinematically, this film is a love letter for your eyes

I’ll just say I saw this movie yesterday and cried like a baby and everyone should see it. It’s beautiful and strange and satisfying and not your typical Oscar bait yawn fest.

Also, the heroes are a woman with a disability, a black woman, and a gay man and the villain is basically a stand-in for toxic white…

This is also bullshit

Also, witch hunts pretty much tend to target women, not men.

I know a few witches who would disagree with you.

Well, to be fair witches are real (I’ve met them, they’re cool and they’ve led our Wiccan ceremonies) but when they were hunted i dare say the reason and consequence could not have been more different than now. Did I mention my favorite Wiccan priestess was threatened (and her newborn baby’s life was threatened) by…

Dancers, who clubs classify as independent contractors, have to pay a house fee to work every night, in addition to tipping out other staff members.

And it’s this devaluation of sex workers that makes conditions like these possible in the first place!

We can ban them from USA too, it’s ok.

This is what I don’t get. You can’t just lose your bodily autonomy because you crossed over a border into a different country. To me, that’s like saying because she came to the USA without permission, crimes can legally be committed against here (rape, for instance). Like, ‘undocumented’ doesn’t mean ‘invisible’ or…

Yes. This is fucking terrifying. For one, using a completely vulnerable immigrant minor to test their legal authority. Trying to run out the clock for the 20 week ban to apply. Then of course the insane logical conflict of railing against so-called anchor babies, then essentially trying to force on into existence? I…

I’m blown away by this young woman. I really doubt I would have been so eloquent and steadfast in defending my rights (and by extension all womens’ rights) at her age. Thank you, Jane Doe!

Benny was a great guy. Went from “You crazy kids, stop stealing my fries!” to “Holy shit, this child needs help.” in two seconds flat.

Yesssssssss. I loved him in The Knick!! He was great in this too.

Benny deserved all the love Barb the wet blanket got.

Are you young? I think those of us who really love the show grew up on 80's films just like this. The nostalgia is great.
