I mean I don’t like engaging with baseless rumors spread by someone with an obvious axe to grind.

Your mom is the ultimate mom. This is the best mom story.

lol no worries! Those horrifying ladies were my inspiration for this misguided installation of internet performance art.

So – I’m a little busy right now to do a truly comprehensive list without getting a check for it – especially since I’d essentially be doing the author’s work – but would it not have been useful to at least list *some* of the most prominent current women whose work has been co-opted and whitewashed and erased?

Yes, the “less dead”, and Last Podcast on The Left likes to talk about a lot. Law enforcement doesn’t give as much of a shit when it’s marginalized communities that are affected.

Well she’s also married to a rapist. So it’s not terribly surprising.

Thisss. The entertainment industry views being underpaid as a necessary badge of honor (ESPECIALLY for assistants. How dare an assistant, who is doing a lot of fucking work, expect to be paid fairly for it??!?) And you know that if you turn down a job that doesn’t pay well there are 500 more kids who will take those…

Freelance is feast or famine, it’s instilled in a lot of us to never turn down work, ever, because you don’t know when you’ll work next (especially if you’re just starting out). Doesn’t help that it’s an industry where people like to say, “you should be HAPPY to be doing this at all” and bosses reminding you how…

I’m side-eying the title of “wokest Globes in history” for a ceremony that almost completely excluded winners of color. Side-eying it hard.

Regarding Johnny Depp and Fantastic Beasts the main takeaway from that was how Rowling confirmed that her attempts to show how progressive she is (in reality she seems to have major blind spots all over the place) immediately screeched to a halt the moment it would hit her bottom line. It’s like she saw Lena Dunham…

So like ... can I have maternity leave? Affordable prenatal care? Any treatment for my battered lady-bits after birth? Help with childcare? (My parents live very, very far away and I really like what I do for a living.) Will my daughters be able to get jobs where they won’t be harassed by their employers, or is their…

This is an insult to pigs; they are extremely intelligent and delicious animals.

It’s because they are all about projection. They lie, therefore they are convinced we lie too.

You know, I asked my Jewish friends about this one once.. they laughed themselves silly at the thought that anyone would believe such things. Its kind of like the rumor people have that Catholics aren’t suppose to have sex unless it is to have children. In both cases, at best, it represents a fundamental…

I worked at LFP for years, too, in the ‘90s, as an editor of one of their magazines. Best gig I’ve ever had, to this day. Full of amazing, brilliant women in key positions who taught me a lot about on-the-job savvy and badassedness. Plus, Larry was ridiculously cool. Progressive as fuck. I’d go back in a heartbeat.

I don’t like eminem that much, but damn this was well-done, full of authentic rage and truth, and carthartic AF to watch.

A 6?

Bingo—80% good point, 20% really stupid undermining of classics. Yeah, this school library likely has copies of Seuss. And any library worth its walls has Shakespeare and Austen (The Taming of the Shrew and the Bertrams’ interest in an Antigua plantation notwithstanding)—but calling literature “antiquated” (or…
