I am reminded of a story I read about two women who had their own tech company and were working toward gaining customers to grow their business. As women, men wouldn’t give them the time a day. But when they started to pretend they were two men by sending email communications instead of calling, and signing their…

“ What I have to do — and I haven’t done this enough yet — is...”

It’s really, really hard to write a 10,000-word cover story. There are not a lot of journalists other than white men in America that we will give the opportunity to.

To be fair, if you have 5,000 words of material, but need to stretch it to 10,000, no skill is quite so valuable as mediocre-white-man confidence.

Arya is now the Day King, master of karate and friendship for everyone.

I honestly think his “secret power” he displayed in the brothel waaaayy back in season 2 was that he could sing so well. I can totally picture Pod, scared of the ladies, start to sing out of nervousness and they just melted for the clumsy kid. It makes more sense than Pod being some sexual dynamo...

I don’t know if that’s Podrick’s real voice, but it was excellent. Also, Gwendoline Christie is incredible, and finally seeing her smile was my favorite part of the whole series. That scene was so patient, I’m glad that she got to really put the character through the entirety of her emotions. God I hope that doesn’t…

This may sound lame, but I wonder what cringe-worthy things I may have missed, because I was too clueless to pick up on them. They may have flown right over my head.

What? Did you even read the books? The actual message is that the real dragons were the friends they made along the way!

My pet prediction is that Gendry and Sansa end up married. It would:

Men who think about going on a rampage when someone they care about is hurt are so SELFISH! Instead of being there for the person, all they care about is satisfying their own need for an emotional outlet. They feel impotent because someone got hurt on their watch, so they want to regain their power by beating someone…

Did you like Garbage’s self titled album? I heart Shirley Manson! That album is perfect 90s angst.

I believe that’s what he wants, but the studio says no. Here is the relevant article: https://www.thisisinsider.com/karamo-brown-queer-eye-culture-expert-therapy-2018-12

Antoni is eye candy let’s be real. I yelled at him last night for suggesting anyone would bring risotto to a pot luck. RISOTTO IS HARD TO MAKE, ANTONI.

Actually, it’s kind of the exact opposite--this shows how very difficult it is to convincingly fake an attack, and how easily the stories of people lying about being assaulted crumble under investigation. Nobody is sincerely equating “believe victims” with “don’t investigate crimes”; that’s a straw man used by rape…

“Believing the victim” means exactly what you just said: a crime has been reported, we will investigate it fully because we believe a crime has been committed, and we need to get to the bottom of it.” As facts emerge, sometimes, so does skepticism, but if you first reaction is to say, “well, he might have been making…

NYE used to be my favorite holiday - we spend it with friends doing a sort of small-dish cook-off, there is a lot of drinking, we go outside at midnight and druknenly sing - and it’s a beautiful way to ring in the new year. Someone always goes too wild, but whatever we’re among friends!

Last year was “sloppy” though -…

The wheelchair is in case anyone faints at the site of his hotness and he needs to set them down somewhere safe.

Every text I send is pretty damn regrettable because it means I’ve signaled to said person that I am assumed free to chat away then get stuck in a conversation I never wanted to have in the first place.

TBH that’s why I posted. To show it’s not always some shit-show of demanding toddlers and/or mothers with no control over their boobs. It’s a personal decision just like any other that works for some and not for others.
