Despite the proliferation of “health clubs”, I’m pretty sure vast swaths of Americans do not like working out. I do, but I don’t feel like a trendsetter or a rebel for enjoying it.

Sorry, but without painting his face white I really didn’t have a clue who Al Roker was supposed to be.

What kind of agenda are you running exactly?

But Tracy needs to fulfill her outrage quota for the day, so...

Someone should try joyless blogger next.

May I ask, then, why an actor portraying a trans person has to be trans? Honest question, not trolling.

I guess if you’re going to dismiss a trans person’s legit concerns (because you love fangirling more than you do representation??), you might as well do it in the most condescending, smug way possible. Good job.

He’s a troll, but the other motherfuckers are legitimate bigots

Forgive me, but I think it’s perfectly possible that they could have found a trans dancer to play the part-as they say in other articles they read, they found a dancer to play the role, and it sounded like by that point in the process they weren’t putting a lot of effort into trying to cast a trans person.

I dunno, I think you should be honored that some white dude felt inspired to turn your existence into run-of-the-mill inspiration porn for navel-gazing snobs because he read a newspaper article.

Ah, but see, he needed Victor in order to have that star power! How else is a movie gonna get made, huh? Plus, it’s called acting, actors aren’t actually supposed to be genuine in this movie about authenticity. Not to mention, I’m sure that there were absolutely no reasonable trans talents to be found, and he looked…

I remember after first seeing The Blair Witch Project in theaters and washed my face with my eyes open. Which was painful, but better than closing my eyes.

I’m a cis white middle class woman and I remember temporarily losing my mind after the inauguration. My depression and anxiety spiraled out of control...I was in real solid danger of breaking my ten year sobriety just to escape the landscape i was living in, that my CHILD was living in.

Here’s what I say to ex bullies and other people who were shitty to me in my youth when they try to friend me on FB:

This is by far the most common and short sighted argument that I see. Wringing hands worried about what the “other side” will think or do.

Revolutions aren’t generally polite.

Farewell to the website who’s existence I just learned about in this post saying farewell. 

Interesting that we’re wondering what’s up with NPH here, but nobody’s bringing up the kabillion very fucked up things Whoopi’s said over the years. I’m Team Neither, in general, but I think it’s fair to say that they’re both pretty flawed.

The key is to surprise and humiliate them.
