I think the two biggest problems are momentum/pacing and the interpersonal dynamics between the kids (what the review is talking about). The 1st half of the season was actually pretty good because it felt like we were building up to something. In reality though, all this season has been doing is building up with…

Given that it’s not italicized, I’m thinking they’re referring to their school A.V. Club?

Over 40? That ish would be out of touch if he was 20.

‘Word!’ It’s terrible, I’m sorry ladies, you’re right. At the same time, Jesus Christ, they took everything from Louis. It might be disproportionate, I can’t tell. This is like where it’s hard to be a man.” 

DISCLAIMER: I couldn’t give less of a shit regarding what comedians do/don’t joke about. If I don’t find it funny, I’ll turn off the TV/walk out of the club.

The literal abortion pill is not available without a prescription. It is different than the morning after pill, which blocks conception. The conflation of the two is dangerous and irresponsible writing.

No. It becomes problematic when you combine all this and try to appear to be, or even claim to be, Native. We encourage people to buy from Native artists, not non-Natives making Native-style arts and crafts. There is also the Indian Arts and Crafts Act, which makes it illegal to sell Native-style crafts and claim it’s…

Soooo...presumably they ran her tags to know it was her car.

Natives have always protested this. It’s just that the mainstream wasn’t listening. And if you look at the twitter debacle... most of the mainstream still doesn’t listen.

“What I’ve actually learned is that the work of keeping your path clear is a continual process, one so all-consuming that you may not ever have the time to look up and see where you’re going”

Here’s a Storify with a better accounting of how the situation unfolded. I’ll be doing a Medium piece about it:

Adding on that those who don’t understand why this is offensive and why Cher was called out should check out the twitter feeds of the native women quoted in this article. They really should have been asked for comment on this story to begin with, but since that ship has sailed it would be a good idea to take time to…

Either kinja is glitching on me or someone dismissed my comment, but either way here it is again:

It’s not wanting to sing about otherness that irks people, since there is no a rule for artists to solely express themselves through their own experience, but the criticism is about Cher using the most obvious steretopyes to do so.

That song is weird and appropriative, and so is Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves. Do they really need to be defended? I think a, “Yeah, I’ve learned a few things in the last 45 years. I wanted to sing about otherness, but picked someone else’s experience instead of my own, and realize that wasn’t a good choice now,” or…

The lipstick drawing is bizarre. Like wtf was that supposed to do?

Well, gosh. He couldn’t have just injured his wife. He could’ve also injured someone like a cop that would have actually gotten him sent to prison for life. I am at the end of my rope with DV cases. If men did what they did to their intimate female partners to strangers, they would face serious penalties- no question,…

When it comes to your baby, you gotta be willing to be crazier than your own mother. Tell her if she says shit about your kid’s weight again, she won’t be seeing her. Her obsession with girls weight is really fucking screwed up and she’s not putting that on your kid.

THIS ALL DAY. I was a dancer for a long time. I never had to wear revealing or sexy costumes. Now I see my friends with toddler daughters allowing their dance studios to dress their babies in ridiculous grown up shit. And that’s not even the part that makes me rage. It’s that they have them posing with “sexy” faces…

I can remember the first time I got self-conscious about my weight. I was six or seven. I was in dance class. I was taking jazz. We were dancing to Zippity Do Da and had costumes that showed our midriff. The mothers started making comments about our cookie tummies and cutting down before the big recital. It was like…
