As someone who hates most Christian schlock, A Wrinkle in Time was written before that shit became so obnoxious. I’m currently reading it aloud to my wife, and I find the version of Christianity she uses in the book to be explicitly inclusive. That Jesus is included along with artists like Da Vinci and activists like

Now I’ll have to check that one out. We don’t have cable either—we have the Comedy Central channel on our Roku, and it allows us to watch two or three Daily Show episodes before they become locked.

Two things.

1) I love your writing. Full stop.

2) I saw Yara on The Daily Show a few days ago, and she blew me the fuck away. Trevor Noah was rendered speechless. If anyone here hasn’t seen the interview yet, seek it out.

No, I agree. I have major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder. I am not a Nazi. See? It can be done! To say that it was mental illness that led to him killing his girlfriend’s parents is fucking irresponsible.

If you don’t already, you should follow her on Instagram. She often posts some bomb selfies and she lives in my dream house.

There is so much awful in this, but truly, the thing that will haunt me the most is that those little boys had to “sleep” next to their dead brother’s body all night. The terror and trauma of that is...well, it’s unfathomable.

That was depressing af.

I hadn’t had to look for a place to rent in seven years, so I was unaware that the Nigerian prince scam had moved to rentals. You go on Craigslist, see a listing, contact the lister, and then you get back an email with a background check application. Now, I’m not one to fall for that shit, because I want to look at a

Color me shocked.

I do think more attention should be paid to the fact that her parents absolutely called this kid out. The mom took screenshots of his posts on social media and took it to the school. She flat-out said, “...he is a monster, and I have no pity for people like that.” My next question is, then, did the

Oh, totally. Sheer terror! I was sure he was going to get blamed for everything that had happened, and I truly believed that might be how Peele ended it. And he could have! One of the greatest truths about horror is that it doesn’t have to have a happy ending. But Peele was smart not to do so, as it would have been

I agree—Allison was a terrific monster. That moment when her eyes change? God, I was so enraptured by it and truly scared. Prior to this film, I thought she was just another well-connected white girl who was allowed to be in films and TV because she has a famous dad, and probably didn’t have any real talent. I knew

First, “pubic eye” had me cackling. Second, I just recently started listening to Larry Wilmore’s podcast, which I really like, but when I went through the list of all episodes I was really, really disappointed to see that he interviewed Gretchen Carlson.

God, I can’t even fathom anyone walking away from Get Out and not understanding that not only was Rose evil, but she was the most evil one of all. To me, that was so fucking clear. She is the one who knows all the right words to say, lures innocent people into her lair, and treasures her prowess by having a goddamn

I think it’s necessary for queer people to see butch/stud identities that are complex and nuanced on the screen, people who are seen as attractive, sexy, smart, etc. I grew up pretty sheltered, and my perception of gay women was butches only, and butch=bad, like the author talked about with regards to Ms. J. Even when

I found myself nodding so much throughout this. I went through a dress-up phase as well—wearing clothes that I thought made me look a certain way, but weren’t quite the right style yet. While I don’t identify as butch, I do prefer a MOC style. If I were to pick a label, it would probably be tomboy femme. I have been

There are a lot of really disappointing comments on here today. Look, I’ve been a teacher for over a decade. I am a woman. I teach middle school, and have taught high school in the past. It is fundamentally wrong for a teacher to have sex with a student, no matter the teacher or student’s ages. Teachers are

I’m struggling with jawline and neck acne in my mid-thirties, and it sucks. I’ve always had acne issues, but this is a whole nother ball game. There is one pimple right underneath my chin that has been there for most of 2017. It’s no longer painful or active, I guess, but it’s still dark and raised. I got two new ones

I don’t even allow my co-workers to add me as friends on Facebook. There is no way in hell I’d date one.

Me neither.

That movie legitimately changed my life. My biggest fear was being abducted by aliens from age 11 to...well, now.
