Uh, yeah Jezebel has sort of massively missed the point here. These women seem to be suggesting that Armie is physical abusive, crossing established lines of BDSM play into something that is actively harmful.

COVID has exposed a part of cis men’s psychology that I think many of us have seen the edges of for some time. I’m still on Bumble and encounter men all the time whose profiles advocate BLM, progressive politics, etc., and yet they’ve been hanging out with “their ten best boys!,” hosting maskless house parties, and…

A white woman I went to college with told me that she voted for Trump because she could no longer support Hillary after “she punched that woman in the face.” I spent a fair time explaining, and then showing her, that the story was fake and likely linked to Russian propaganda. Her reaction? To brush it off. She…

PLEASE include either the National Suicide Prevention Hotline or some other relevant resource when posting articles that discuss suicide or self harm. It is genuinely not that hard. It seems that Jezebel has fully committed to not including this information on recent articles addressing suicide.

Yeah. It’s... not great. And folks have looked to Shadi Petosky as the real hero of the day for “making” 12, but she was definitely part of the problem and enabled Vickerman’s harassment/assault. Public court records show that the victims sued both Vickerman and Petosky (through her company, Puny).

Yes, but note that 12 Forever’s creator, Julia Vickerman, was fired off her own show after an internal investigation by Netflix into claims she was assaulting and harassing her own crew. Visibility is important, but not at the expense of a crews safety.

Yeah, that’s the scary thing here. I doubt Trump would try and kill DACA before the election, but the Roberts opinion almost reads like a guide on how to stick the landing the second time around. DACA isn’t here to stay, it just can’t so arbitrarily removed.

I’ve called that number twice in my life and it saved me both times.

National Suicide Prevention Lifeline

I mean, yes, Hugh Grant commits to the funny dancing here, but none can top Paddington 2.

Gosh, rather than address inappropriate/predatory behavior in the workplace, we just will Literally Not Have Women At The Table! That’ll keep everyone happy, right?!

I think the thing that bugs me more than what I’ve already written is that by producing quick Hot Take videos that seem somewhat ignorant of the actual films, the reviews have prevented an actual dialogue about some genuinely problematic / tricky shit within these films and the industry they reflect. By producing…

Based on the still alone I knew this was going to be the one film Joan didn’t shit all over.

Thanks to my six-year-old niece and my attempts to figure out what to get her for Christmas, I am now inundated with American Girl doll ads. While I ended up not getting the doll for her, one of the big takeaways was the number of comments saying the doll’s manufacture has dramatically shifted for the worse. Comments…

I have come to the conclusion that those who label themselves “free thinkers” or who declare “I read a range* of sources and then come up with my OWN conclusion,” simply do so to untether themselves from facts and logic. They don’t want to admit they don’t understand what’s going on and would rather swim joyfully in…

Yes.

I have such a dumb question, but would love people’s thoughts. I am going to a day of the dead event for the first time and was thinking of dressing up in a nice suit. The question becomes: would painting my face and wearing flowers in my hair be cultural appropriation? I don’t want to step on anyones toes, and…

You have no idea how much this means. I’m in my second year at law school after having been out of school for many, many years and doing a drastic career shift from animation to the law (and, horror of horrors, I don’t want to do entertainment law). My husband left me my first semester of 1L, I get the fun of helping…

Bill Mullen?

100% NOT into this earthquake shit. I got through last night ok (my old house shook pretty bad and now the front door is fitting slightly different?) but as I’ve felt a few aftershocks I am increasingly becoming unwary. This whole 11% chance of a bigger one hitting soon has me ready to sleep under the heavy kitchen…
