Laci Green. Here is Kat Blaque (a person Green recently has called a sociopath for daring to criticize Green’s choices lately) video:

The question is, do people like Amanita actually exist in this reality?

I just don’t understand why any celebrity thinks it’s a good idea to discuss social politics. The overwhelming majority of the time they just get slammed for it—do they all think they’re so exception that they’re going to be the ones to thread the needle?

Was it a clumsy analogy, sure, but it’s like the Winter is Coming, some people hear it all the time, so they live with it and confront it on a daily basis, other peoples have never been exposed to it, because of their climate privilege, but then they are exposed to all these snowflakes and OH MY GOD WINTER IS COMING,…

YES!

You are correct in ever particular. And let’s not forget all of the fantastic-Africa tropes that have been suppressed or forgotten over even the past few decades. Prester John, Timbuktu, even the pretty-racist-juju-man of Robert E. Howard, they acknowledged the place Africa has with its own myths, imagination, and…

Actually, I’m going to give this a more serious answer. I don’t care if there are articles about Black Panther on The Root. But Marvel has made 15 of these damned things, and it will drive me insane if the overarching cultural take on Black Panther winds up being “Oh, that’s the black one, with the black people, for…

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo…

It also deconstructs the whole “chosen one” bit, and the hero’s journey in general. Peter is indeed the chosen one, but he’s also pretty disposable and his dad doesn’t really need him to be anything more than a battery. Ego is both the mentor and the evil bastard the hero has to fight against. There’s a lot of great…

like a said a couple weeks ago: the best way to get ACTUAL healthcare reform in this country is to determine the health insurance coverage of the average constituent in each congressman’s district, then assign that coverage to that particular congressman. or force them to buy insurance on the individual market place.…

Yep, yep, yep, and yep again. Clothes-as-status (as differentiated from “attractive and potentially expensive clothing that makes a person feel good and express him/herself”) are worn by three types of people: people who need to pretend that they’re important, people who are invested in tradition in some way, and…

Everyone has an asshole. It means everyone can be one, too. Some people blame you virulently for not being the person they thought you were - and spare no effort in telling you just how much you weren’t up to their expectations. And when you calculate in modern technology (such as cell phones 24/7 access) they can put…

I’d love for Kamala Harris to run.

Oh, Winter’s Bone is good.

Also, dating another person isn’t about “having” who you want, it’s about spending time with someone and building a relationship that satisfies you both.

that’s the thing, anyone who’s hot enough KNOWS they’re hot enough and doesn’t have to run around saying shit about how they could have anyone because they know that everyone else already knows they could have anyone.

also, i got into an argument with someone the other day about how ‘green’ it is to live in a city and they were stuck on the pollution and i was like, yeah but i don’t contribute to it any of it. my carbon footprint in a year is your like monthly drive to work in your suburban

It’s funny because the small apartment thing is what I love about living here-the city is your backyard and there’s so much less maintenance! If you need a big house fine but don’t get mad that I don’t like the idea of having to maintain that much space. If you’re not spending $$ you’re definitely sacrificing time I…

I don’t think New Yorkers realize the constant stream of “New York is THE ONLY PLACE TO BE! THE BEST PLACE TO BE! IF YOU CAN MAKE IT HERE YOU CAN MAKE IT ANYWHERE!” that everyone else in the country gets inundated with. I think that people living in NYC fall all over themselves to justify their choice as much as…

We are about to move into a house and, after living my entire adult life in apartments, I’m like, “Shit, we’re just going to have, like, a few empty rooms, I guess?”
