Combs, who played Piper Halliwell in the original, posted a screenshot of her full response on Twitter, writing that she appreciates “the jobs and opportunities the Charmed reboot has created,” adding “But I will never understand what is fierce, funny, or feminist in creating a show that basically says the original…

Okay, but if “I Believe I Can Fly” is the first of his songs to come to mind, then you were never even approximately a fan.

I usually love it when Asian women experiment with blond hair, but this photo has me rethinking that position. Also, what is that dress?

It’s like gun sales peaking after a mass shooting or terror attack. People stock up on that which they fear will be taken away. R Kelly’s music has a nostalgic quality for many, so they’re hoarding his songs before the feminists try to steal their childhood memories or something.

She also mentioned hard work and an active lifestyle. It seems silly to misrepresent what’s actually said just so you can hold someone up for mockery and hatred.

You’re correct about the lower standard of civil rights protections for private school students. As a private school alum, I’ll attest that the school’s often hinges almost entirely on whether the child in question is a recipient of a financial scholarship or not, which is often the case for students of color.

Omigosh, have you been to my friend’s church/house? Because you’ve described the situation exactly.

I mean, even home ownership is beyond a lot of people’s means these days. Plus, church sales aren’t particularly easy to come by, and rezoning laws can sometimes be a prohibitive hurdle. But if you’re among the fortunate group for whom none of things apply, get yourself a church.

I think the key difference with Bryan Singer is that his victims are young boys, traditionally a demographic that has the hardest time both processing and speaking out about sexual abuse. Instead the shame and anger causes them to fall into to drug addiction, alcoholism, and eventual general disgrace, thereby making…

A good friend of mine lives in a renovated church, and the house has such a magical energy about it that, whenever I visit, I almost never want to leave. I highly recommend buying a church to anyone who has the means.

I’m a crazy dog lover, and I want to pet and snuggle every pupper I see, and even I know the idea of petting any dog without the owner’s permission and supervision is dumb AF. The act of doing so against the owner’s clearly indicated wishes just speaks to a level of stupidity and entitlement I can’t even fathom.…

I’ve never read the tampon convo in full until just now! Not only is it hilarious, but it doesn’t sound all that different from the kind of silly, absurdist jokes I’ve shared with my partners about sex and genitalia. It’s very clear from context that it was said in idle humor, and yet it was totally misquoted and…

I hadn’t thought of that before, but it makes sense that they would choose that cause to honor their mother, particularly since their work focuses so heavily on destigmatization.  

If you’ve watched the Crown at all, you’d have an idea of the extent to which Edward’s abdication in the name of true love loomed overhead as a great mark of shame and cautionary tale of familial treason. There was simply no way Charles was going follow in those footsteps. He’d be exiled from his entire family, never…

Sally Bedell Smith’s 1999 biography is widely regarded as the most authoritative, unbiased, nuanced, and balanced portrait of Diana. Here’s an excerpt:

I imagine Meghan’s family will probably do the same and rachet up the victimization to 11.

By her own account she flung herself down a flight of stairs in a jealous rage while pregnant, which sounds like a scene from Gone with the Wind.

Thank you. Once upon a time, the King or Crown Prince’s mistress was an official position at court for which you could often expect more vicious whispers if the role wasn’t filled. Attitudes toward love marriage and infidelity evolved far more quickly for the common people than they did for the royal family. Charles…

And “Diana was bad too!!” is not an argument. Like what even is your point with that?

Yes, I agree. I do believe that, objectively speaking, none of them are in the right. But I also think it’s silly that people have this high moral ground when it’s essentially about perspective and narrative. Like, if you rewrite this story from a different point of view, it’s basically just Like Water for Chocolate…
