Jesus this is depressing

I was at Penn at the same time as Melker. Donnie was indeed a sad sack of a human being who peed everywhere and assaulted everyone. He belonged to the most rape-y of rape-y fraternities and comfortably communicated with his asshat brothers in the misogynist language of his father and...he just sucked. He really did

To be fair, it was a different era. In 1998, urinating in other people’s beds wasn’t as big of a deal as it is today.

I am not a huge Bey fan (I always give her credit though, she is maybe the best performer of all time), but I LOVE that she did this. The Dixie Chicks have a very specific place in history, most notably in that “women not behaving how they should and getting backlash for it” space. So to bring them to the CMAs, a

They still hate Natalie that much, huh? Sad.

Natalie has been my #1 crush for decades now. Back when they were still a “thing”, there was a message board on the official Chicks site. I was “nataliesman” (I was 17 when it started, leave me alone). I made some lifelong friends, dated someone, and all along loved the Chicks, which has grown to defend them over

I love that Bey was like “I’m not just coming to your show and slaying that shit, but I’m also going to bring the women you basically crucified oh those years ago.”

Re: Dixie Chicks/Beyonce. I am totally not surprised. There was no way the CMAs/country music was ever going to forgive the Chicks for their unforgiveable sin of exercising there rights as Americans to criticize an unduly elected leader. Like her or lump, Bey was the unstoppable force to the CMAs immovable object.

Natalie Maines is the greatest. I would genuinely love to hang out with her. She seems super cool & fun, not to mention super talented. Anyone else share this opine, or is it just me?

Relevant meme:

Didn’t Demi say she wants to become an MMA fighter? That’s what she’s supposedly doing on her break from music.

i like beyonce (have forever, saw destiny’s child in concert three times as a kid) but is anyone else totally exhausted by stan culture? the internet acting like she is the greatest thing in the history of the world and completely above reproach tires me out(the amount of ‘woke’ people i saw defending her for that

I forgot what a big deal it was for the Chicks to slag W. back in the day, just how huge and hysterical the backlash was. Ironic, since this is the same crowd who currently lament how political correctness is ruining free speech and society.

Assuming the CMAs didn’t want the Dixie Chicks back until Queen B demanded it be so, I hope there was some of this aimed in the direction of one Toby Keith, asshole extraordinaire...

“It’s what we are conditioned to believe — that if we speak up, our livelihoods will be threatened; that standing our ground will lead to our demise,” she writes. “We don’t want to be kicked out of the sand box for being a “bitch.” So we compromise our integrity for the sake of maintaining status quo and hope that

“Boy, rarely have I recalled a story that is so wildly plausible and implausible simultaneously.”

I was riveted, horrified and confused in equal measure when jez posted the articles about this a few months ago.

Right. Who then gets imprisoned (or whatever) in the castle owned by the Beast. In the time between when she was first imprisoned and the time she actually fell for the Beast “sullen housemaid” would be a good description for her.
