Oooo! Storytime!!!

That was my one thought when I saw this. That maybe lots of young people were googling Joan that night. It happened to me when I was about 15. Even though I knew her name and had some vague idea who she was, I watched that Bob Dylan documentary and...didn’t care one bit about him anymore because I realized he was a…

“Granddaughters”

I think she learned her lesson. She hated Madonna when she first came up and made the mistake of publicly saying so ;)

Joan in particular was there with her granddaughter whom I assume loves Taylor Swift. Same reason Joan was at Zendaya’s concert and met her. She is one cool grandmother. They also met Swift backstage which makes me terribly jealous because said granddaughteris going to meet everyone. Already met Michelle Obama.

It could give them an incentive to check out Joan though!

She did. He wanted to marry her. That is how I learned that he was an asshole who used to yell at his employees. Because whatever situation in history or music, Joan was there.

When I discovered Joan as a young girl, my life changed. I went down a rabbit hole of knowledge and I learned so much about EVERYTHING because whether it was music or politics: Joan was there. Encourage your kids to check her out.

My father, who is an old dried up man with no clue of what is going on in the world and getting more reactionary by the minute had the nerve to tell me “She should get out of the public eye. It’s embarrassing. She’s is too old”. Something he has NEVER said about all the old male rock stars he adores who have done shit…

I love you, because there is some Joan hatred up in this thread and it makes me fucking livid. She’s my hero.

She knows Joni Mitchell et al. Of course she knows Baez.

You really confuse me Jezebel. I mean you don’t because I know you are awful. But for my own sanity I choose to think it’s hilarious that you manage to talk about structural racism in the US and Monae and at the same time have some cutesy cutesy story about George W. Bush, war criminal, whose politics enforced said…

The weird thing is: I have never been pregnant. I doubt I ever will be. Somehow my imagination, ability for abstract thinking and empathy suffice to know that this is abuse. Clearly, I have super powers!!!!

Especially since to me, a birth mother is a mother who gave birth to a child that somebody else adopted. Used only in that context like “My mother encouraged me to meet my birth mother” not any other context. The English language is hard I understand.

Consider ending the relationship. Forcing yourself to “be ok with it” doesn’t sound healthy at all,

Support the Peshmerga fighters!

Given our historical experiences with them as a group, sadly, this does not seem like such a bad idea.

Go research it. ISIS are following the principles of 7th century Islam. The prophet Muhammed was a warlord who was conquering people, slaughtering them and taking the survivors as slaves. The whole justification how it is alright to rape “infidels” is right there.

You also love her racism I guess?

Be careful with your words. We abolished the monarchy a long time ago.
