Had a twitter conversation with Margaret Atwood! I wrote a choose-your-own-adventure fanfic for a class on the MaddAddam books, and tweeted the result at her! She actually responded! I nearly died.

When you see footprints beside you? It was then that the metal carried you.

Was it about sourcing women in his book? Or overlooking women in general? I think she came at him once over the former and he pointed out that one of the only citations in the book referenced the work of a black female (I believe) historian.

Everybody should be.

Considering what they did with Wasp, I wouldn’t put it past them to fuck up Black Panther without the Russo brothers.

No, there is indeed something very wrong with the way that baby stuff is so aggressively gendered. It’s one of the many ways that we condition children literally form birth to participate in a harmful, limiting, regressive, oppressive gender dichotomy.

Chris Matthews is his stage name.

We aren’t talking about First Lady cred. Posing half nude or even being a fucking prostitute does not allow Chris Matthews’ leering at her on national television!

No.

I’m on the hunt for a good night cream for sensitive, oily skin with fine lines. Anyone have any suggestions? Right now, I’m using Origins Night-a-Mins which I got as a free full-size sample (so I feel like I have to use it), but it’s not that great.

you seem like a nice person and all but you took this ENTIRE thing to make it about you. the entire problem with #notallmen is the fact that men (and i say this as a man) take all of these opportunities to stand for others and instead make it about themselves

There is something wrong with your definition of activist then, and maybe something wrong with your expectation of parenting.

Disenfranchised, poor, and minority groups often have to grow up a little faster than the privileged. Instead of calling her parents crazy, I wonder why your reaction to this obviously intelligent child who is old enough to understand that her drinking water is poison isn’t one of pride and support?
