Intentions =/= effects

Was glad that your article said “Arizona woman Hilde Hall” and not “Arizona Trans-woman Hilde Hall”

You know what would be more satisfying?  Not giving these people a platform in the first place. 

No one is trying to deny access to formula.

Other articles make it more clear that this resolution was targeted at stopping formula companies from misinforming parents, mostly in developing countries, that formula is better than or equal to breastfeeding. 

Well, why is that mother malnourished? Could “protecting, promoting, and supporting” breastfeeding include improving her health? If she’s malnourished because she’s incredibly poor, how is she paying for formula.  If she’s in an impoverished area (especially outside the US, but let’s not exclude Flint, Michigan…

Methinks Dolt 45 may have a slight problem with breastfeeding.

Univision massively fucked up GMG (websites sharing the same beat (e.g. They have A.V. Club but still also have generalist TV/Movie coverage on both Jez and io9 which is stupid), pointless acquisitions, refusing to specialise sites) so to “balance the books” decided to sack 30% of the staff. Instead, according to the…

“There will be no funeral, no repast, everyone get the hell out of my church” MY. CHURCH. This strike anyone else as hugely fucked up? 

Personally, I think it is VERY important that kids see racism, sexism etc in action so they can understand what it looks like and why it’s wrong. I wouldn’t let a kid read these books totally unsupervised, but I wouldn’t rule them out entirely. I got a lot of my love of the outdoors and desire to do things like cook,…

In general, I often change the things I find offensive in books when I read to my kids. But, it is typically in picture books. I love Monsters Eat Whiny Children, but there’s one line when they are discussing making a whiny-child cake and the monster’s wife says she can’t eat sweets because her bottom is too big, and…

Now that Netflix has officially acknowledged that the kid from Stranger Things is black, maybe his storyline can reflect that. Let that boy have some Prince, Michael Jackson, New Edition, Whodini, Jonzon Crew (Space Cowboy was the ish) Twilight 22 (so was Electric Kingdom) etc on his boombox cassette playlist, damn. 

Yes, because they need to answer as to what his fucking deal is that he keeps writing the same terrible article and it keeps getting published.

Thank you for following the guidelines for reporting on suicides, specifically by not sharing the method. I really appreciate it, and I know others do too.

as a PR professional, I am FLABBERGASTED that he is a on book tour right now. Like, beyond surprised. AND beyond surprised he didn’t have a very, very, very much better answer to this line of questioning. It’s literally the only thing I would have prepped for him, and it would have been “I was wrong to abuse my…

John Goodman marries Phylicia Rashad after both of their spouses die in explosions. The Conner and Huxtable families merge Brady Bunch style.

If there is a way to reboot it without paying her (I’m not a lawyer, but the article suggests she’s only credited for the character Roseanne) isn’t that the opposite of potentially bringing Lasseter back? Honor the contracts, keep the crew employed, cut the cancer out, and soldier onwards?

They may well try ... but given the fact that a) this feels way too much like the slop the Duchess of Sussex had to endure, b) the man was innocent, and c) future Governor Abrams (yes I said it) is an attorney who seems to have prepared really well for this challenge ... I have a feeling they may have anticipated this…

Wickstead is delusional if she thinks Markle’s dress was a knock-off of her design because she’d have to have been the first to design that style of dress in the first place. Also, Wickstead’s dress sucks and makes the model’s boobs look long and droopy. But on the matter of the accusation at hand, Wickstead didn’t…

I grew up reading them, too. I was obsessed with Claudia. Some of my very favorites...
