with the number of personal accounts of people warning other people about Weinstien coming out, it seems to me like it’s not the fault of anyone not saying anything about him, it’s that nobody listened or took them seriously.

I love how Hollywood’s go-to move when they discover a powerful man who worked in Hollywood for decades is a serial sexual harasser/rapist is to be totally shocked at this completely isolated incident perpetrated by one bad apple.

“We’re just wondering why you stopped following us on Instagram.”

Apparently, some people are more equal than others.

We should be talking in terms of ratio on this. Imagine all the newbies who just came and went over the years who’ll never speak up because they have families now.

It’s almost as though the Christian Right made a deal with the... with someone. Someone bad? Darn it, this is right on the tip of my tongue.

They seem him as an instrument from God sent to destroy the heathen liberals destroying their country.

I’ve been assaulted by the toy aisle at Target. Long story, let’s just say not all Buzz Lightyears obey the “freeze when humans are around” rule.
