There are some things I like about the show, like its acknowledging black people did, in fact, exist in Tudor England. And some things I dislike such as the wardrobe being perhaps the least enticing and cohesive of any Renaissance period production I’ve seen. But I’m finding myself most needled by the fact that the …

There are articles about Lena Dunham’s admission that she bald-faced lied to discredit a black rape victim all over my Facebook feed, yet nary a mention of it on Jezebel’s mainpage (unless I somehow missed it) and yet there have been at least three mentions of Cardi B’s divorce in the same time period and the lead…

This article is a nice supplement to the recent Times piece on polyamory. As always, I’m here for your AMA on ENM. Two drink minimum, tip your waitress.

Every now and then, you get a like on an old-ish article. Even more precious is the rare comment on a truly ancient article. But the height of Kinja is the screed reply on a five year old Hugo Schywzer article. Yes, THAT Hugo Schywzer article. Good grief.
