Although I loved ‘All the Birds in the Sky’, I am thrilled beyond belief that ‘Obelisk Gate’ won. I think Nora Jemisin is a tremendous writer, and ‘Obelisk Gate’ was the book that had to do all the heavy lifting for the trilogy—it had to do tons of exposition and world-building, even beyond what was done in ‘Fifth…

Oh please with your “not all men” bullshit. Chris Brown is a scumbag who beat the shit out of Rihanna, and is apparently still not leaving her alone. And don’t backtrack on your original comment, you said “why do you feel the need to take EVERY OPPORTUNITY to bash men in general?” I’d like to see all the dozens of…

Well you are the expert on predictable and mediocre.

That’s the same logic used to silence non-white women in feminism. That kind of thinking prioritizes white cis women over others and paints everyone else as selfish outliers for seeking equality.

They got into it on twitter.

Career military dude here.

I wish you the best with your sturggle, and wanted to share the following:

My big brother, my hero, the one who let me tag along on his dates and share his ice cream, died in 2000. A hole was left in my heart that will never be repaired. I still hear his laugh and I can still see his face.

I will send you good thoughts about staying sober/clean.

It is, and THANKS for the kind words and the encouragement. It sounds trite, but sometimes little things like this are so helpful. All my best to you and yours.

Thank you for your kind words. I wish you a happy week!

Thank you for the kind words. The problem is: I have moved away, and my addictions have followed me. And my friends that did do drugs are either dead or sober. I am definitely the type that likes to get high alone. But you are right - place certainly matters - I live in Chicago, where there are literally open air drug…

I’m so sorry for the loss of your brother, and that you are struggling. I hope you find a way back. Sending hugs and good thoughts, for whatever they might be worth. ❤

this must be so hard for you. please take care of yourself. I hope the suboxone keeps helping.

Oh, nice! A relapse doesn’t un-do all the time you have clean—like you said, you’ll get back on the proverbial wagon and your journey will continue. I can’t fathom lifelong sobriety (one of the things I like about SMART was it only asked for 3 months; doable). I used to think about it a lot, and it felt very…

Wishing you solace.

instead of leaving you should have gone around the building and came back in

Fuck you Josh.

To my eyes, if there is a binary around Beauty, its not Patriarchy vs Feminism but Puritanism vs Paganism. The Puritan ethos remains strong in many aspects of the American consciousness, including American feminism. The desire to be pure, to be free of effects and poses, to be authentic, to be holy. In the Puritan…

definitely sex robot.
