As soon as you have to say something along the lines of that it wasn’t racist in year xxxx, you need to stop, you lost the argument.

You seem like you must be fun at parties. Plus, your opinion is bad, and you should feel bad.

Thank you so much Kelly for writing about this! I’ve been following along on Twitter, and it’s been a shit show since day 1. I honestly don’t know how the RWA is going to survive this and suspect that it will have to close down soon. 

Psst, I’m part of the RWA, and I wrote about it here, with links to the people who are involved,and my twitter also shows a pretty good timeline of how the board of the online suspense chapter, KOD, essentially decided to dismantle the chapter rather than put out a statement taking a stand against racism and…

None of this surprises me. My wife and are friends with a couple of RWA members, and were friends with another. As writers ourselves (non-romance) we’ve been to a handful of RWA events with our RWA friends and there is an odd sort of toxic pleasantness that the writers seem to exhibit towards one another. The way they…

I didn’t have a lot of time so I only scanned this story.

I love Milan and Cole both as humans and as authors. Thank you for unwinding all this madness, I was having a hard time following everything on Twitter.

Different societies have different gender norms, stereotypes, expectations, taboos, etc. Something that’s considered typically masculine in one place can be seen as typically feminine in another. Or during another time in history. A society develops ideas about what is considered feminine and masculine, as well as…

A-fucking-men. I can't believe I had to scroll down this far to find this point. Participation, NOT a good win record- is what imparts value into sports. Denying students the right to participate is segregation and I believe we reached a conclusion on that.

Do you know the only thing that matters about youth sports, in the macro level? Participation. Participating in sports has social and physical health benefits, which is why many schools encourage or require students to participate in them. But which particular child wins that sport is ultimately meaningless, and is as…

No. Highschool sports can be a healthy outlet for a lot of kids and after school activities have been shown to have major benefits for kids, parents and communities.

Yup, every time people complain about the idea of universal healthcare and how “socialized medicine will mean you will have to wait months to see a doctor”.....how exactly is that different from our current situation?!? You’ll have the same wait. But the bills won’t bankrupt you.

I know little of cosmetic procedures, but her cheek things are visibly “off”.

Does this lead to a secret snack cache or what?

Dear god why do people do this to themselves? 

While the Starr/Whitewater investigation went down a crazy rabbit hole, I’ve never really felt comfortable with the way we talk about and try to minimize and trivialize the Clinton-Lewinsky thing. It wasn’t simple adultery. It was a textbook abuse of power, and arguably, it should have been considered borderline…

She’s trying to Be Best, okay. lol

I recommend following his Instagram if you don’t. He rips on Trump quite frequently and it’s very satisfying.

I’m not sure if this is marginally better or significantly worse than last year’s Blood Trees.

I realize Melanie has the best face that money can buy
