I think the only thing I can remember Gabourey saying was that it was sad that the movie was tainted because of selfishness and lies. As far as I know though she never clarified who she was talking about - Lee Daniels or Mo’Nique.

Reading her quote there did make me feel a swelling of pride at being nearly 1 year sober (2 weeks to go, suckaaas!)

My ultimate forever celebrity crush is Young Bill Pullman. It’s a problem.

There is no “it” needed. Mo’Nique’s reputation as a jerk has followed for years and years. While it surely includes exaggerations, every story about her is some variation on her being rude to people with less power than her. And it’s always something like her showing up and then holding up production until she got…

Not exactly. It’s a public university. Different rules apply.

I don’t think anyone would see her as “the most awful” and the abuse she suffered as a child almost certainly led to this and I do feel truly bad for her about that. That doesn’t change the fact that her behavior is just as equally influenced by white supremacy and white privilege. No one is saying that Dolezal is a…

Is she a White supremacist? Doubtful. (But if she is, she has done a remarkable job of keeping it hidden.)

Let aside Rachel, thanks for answering the question and providing links. I think one of the problems that I have with understanding the gender issue is the claim that transwomen are women and transmen are men which I understand as a social construct (of course) but not in the current form of “transwomen are women…

Now that President Obama has moved on, it’s actually nice to see the new leader of the free world sitting in the Oval Office, and also Donald Trump.

I’m conflicted. On the one hand, I’m 100% on her side and 100% opposed to the alt-right. On the other hand, her special was not good. I’m a fan of her show, and I liked her movie a lot, and I liked her previous special, but this one sucked, frankly.

I don’t think abortion is a right, but rather a choice you are able to make when you have rights. If others are able to dictate the relationship between a woman and her doctor, or what she does with her family, or what medications or birth control she can take based on their religion and beliefs, does she have rights?

I’m very much pro-choice, but I always feel weird calling abortion a “right”. Is it a right? What is a right? I think abortion makes sense because it allows women to lead a more optimal life and I think it makes sense economically for everyone, but I have a hard time calling it a right. Please feel free to educate me…

The wife in this case, according to the article, wanted to have custody of the dogs but for her ex to have visitation rights. The judge basically said that because dogs are property, it makes no sense to have a visitation schedule enforced by the courts, because that’s a waste of court resources. He’s not wrong.

Not to minimize what you’re trying to say here, but Naomi Judd didn’t make it in music until she was in her 40s. She has written about her days of struggling in many shit jobs as a single mom, struggling just to pay the rent and feed her children, and of living in a battered women’s shelter with the girls for a time.…

She wasn’t famous until she was like 40, though. Before that she was raising two daughters by herself on a shoestring, from what I understand. So it’s not that she has nothing to which she can compare her current circumstances. So she can talk about her present difficulties with the perspective of having had other…

She has the body of someone who has been borderline malnourished for decades.

I openly scoffed at the gymrat hashtag. Yeah, right. She has the body of a thin person, but not a gym rat, really. Even if she was a cardio-only gym rat, she would have some muscle mass and definition in her legs.

Yeah my take is that he likes #calorierestriction over #gymrat, but hey she’s young, I’m sure she has the energy to do both.

She just explained geometric proofs to him and is announcing her success to the people in streets below

You didn’t learn about the thigh gap formula in high school geometry?
