I never liked Lena Dunham, before her overt racism became obvious her narcissism and privilege turned me off. She’s horrible. I think decent human being should sever ties with her. She throws herself into the middle of social issues, pretending to be an ally, when in fact she does it for attention only. That’s clear

I think it’s powerful to communicate that this one writer she defended isn’t isolated; it’s endemic to her social and professional circles.

A lot of those women saw themselves in lena and can’t grasp that they might be racist as fuck as well.

I’ve read one of Dunham’s books and it’s just astonishing how she believes her main quality and talent is self-awareness and how that’s completely prevents her from having actual self-awareness. Women have color have been shouting about her bullshit for years... we should have listened.

I literally just wrote this in the Dirt Bag thread but I’ll say it again. Lena is a white feminist. Her goal is to be equal to white men. She only cares about feminist issues as they relate to her and people like her. She has no desire to understand intersectionality. I’ve always found it annoying that Lena is

Counterpoint: Every time Lena Dunham fucks up feminism ALL feminists pay a price. She opens us up to mockery, scorn, and younger women that have been indoctrinated to believe a feminist is some sort of bra burning heathen communist are less likely to stop and listen.

I appreciate this young woman taking a stance and possibly losing a paycheck in the process.

Good. I wish EVERYONE who claims to be feminist or progressive would sever ties. I’ll never forget the Jia Tolentino piece on Jezebel which in my very humble opinion did not go far enough at all, and the scores of commenters who were willing to give Lena pass after motherfucking pass despite example after

Is it wrong for me to wish this was a real song? We, The People, miss Barack Obama!

Lena is an asshole and it’s annoying that she’s made feminism a part of her brand. She’s the epitome of a white feminist. Lena doesn’t want to embrace women of color or understand intersectionality. Lena just wants to be equal to white men. The rest of us can kick rocks. I’m not surprised she chose not to stand in

“The vibe was very much like, ‘Do I want to f— it? Is it wearing a … yep, it’s wearing a tuxedo,” Dunham continued. “I’m going to go back to my cell phone.’” It was like we were forced to be together, and he literally was scrolling Instagram rather than have to look at a woman in a bow tie. I was like, ‘This

Trump absolutely does not know the word “apoplectic”....

My Twitter account was taken down for 11 minutes by a rogue employee. I guess the word must finally be getting out-and having an impact.

I’m so touched. And all love your way, my sweet.

“We had one male jezzie who used to troll the SNS threads and talk about how his daughter had “electra” syndrome and wanted to fuck him.”

I’m tired of the phony “allies” who just come here for attention and validation. They will learn the prevalent “mood” or opinion, and then just echo it back to us. They have to be part of nearly every discussion:”Oh yes, well we know why men do THAT, don’t we?” And “Yeah, that white guy needs to step off, shite!”

I would cut the bloom out at the base. Right down in the center of the plant. Don’t water by pouring over the top. It gets trapped in the leaves & that’s no good for an indoor plant. Soak it in the sink or a bowl until the soils saturated & spongy. If the leaves themselves start browning at the center of the plant it

Thank you, I know I should cut-off and re-root my aloe, but it just seems so violent.

All of my plants seem to love being re-potted. Depending on the species, they can also appreciate showers. Dust on their leaves can block a lot of light and make them sad.

You are being a great plant mom Jinni. Plants do not like to move. They are no migratory! They do like a bit of fertilizer in their water and maybe a blue LED light overhead as the days get shorter. Those work as good as a grow light!
