It seems as if Jez has a new full time troll here

no one asked you.

Seriously. Party Girl is in the top three (NATASHA!), but no mention of the other two in the triumverate: 24 Hour Party People (as you say) and Human Traffic, which isn’t a great movie, but is as quotable as Casablanca.

Logan forever.

My list would be:

Ugh, this is like the next logical progression of the small college department I was in for awhile. I completely quit because I got tired of seeing boys behaving badly and never being called to account for it. People who did call them out on their shit (me, one or two others) were bullied and constantly relegated to…

This sort of excuse-making is part of what’s wrong with our community. If someone has to throw chairs at people to do their job, fuck them. We deserve better.

Now I want Patrick Bateman to go into that guy’s store and give him the clear raincoat Huey Lewis monologue.

Meh...everything the ‘Important Literary Man’ ever wrote was boring as fuck. Good riddance, I say.

Hustling Monks would be an awesome band name.

Wait, you’d “instinctively consider” that anyone who sent a particularly cruel text was mentally ill?

You know that “neurotypical” and “not diagnosed with a mental illness” are not interchangeable terms, right? Neurotypical just means not dxed as being on the autism spectrum (or, sometimes more broadly, dyslexia or ADHD). You can be neurotypical and bipolar.

You leave abusive relationships. Period.

Fuck that. When someone with no stake to claim and nothing to lose tries to undermine your foundation - they’re trying to hurt YOU. And if their behavior is symptomatic of their mental disorder, and it’s damaging to your home and health, then it’s probably best if you stay far away.

It’s neurotypical privilege to think that some actions count as related to mental illness while others don’t.

You wrote, “They never ARE truly responsible ...”

It’s weird that in the US sports are the most important part of school culture. In the rest of the world they have teams and clubs that are separate from schools.
