Are we really that impressed with his Frank Underwood impression? I feel like anyone who marathoned the first season should have it in his/her back pocket. Not since Christopher Walken has there been an impression that is so hard to screw up.

I definitely tear up at the idea of never eating a delicious sandwich, but if it works...

Wooo this sounds fantastic! Will check it out.

I just think that future generation are going to look at programming like this, aghast, in the same way that we do now when we look back at blackface performances of the 1860s. When violence and discrimination against a group is widespread, mocking that group night after night—even if it's mutual and "all in good…

You expressed in earlier comments that you don't think he has any choices at all

Totally know what you mean! When a lot of friends are working crappy jobs that make them unhappy, it means you can never really share about your work or discuss issues related to your career, either because it sounds like humble bragging or it just isn't something they can really connect with. (If they're anything…

People with dwarfism are categorized as being people with disabilities. When discussing how Handler's show pokes fun at someone with a disability, you're saying, "Well, it's the only way he could make a living!"

I miss Tower Records so much sometimes. My dad used to take me as a kid, and we'd spend hours there as a kind of impromptu musical education class. I remember being nine years old and having him put the big headphones on to listen to selections in between earnest explanations of the Clash or John Coltrane.

It might be! It certainly sounds similar...

You're right that there's a long history of little people in the entertainment industry. But tens of thousands of little people live regular lives: they graduate high school, go to college, and go onto secure professional careers. Saying their choices are getting shot out of cannons in the circus or working a…

At least for me, I find that I tend to have my emotions closest to the surface when I don't let them out in appropriate outlets. (As in, it's when I'm incredibly angry at my mother but don't express it to her that I tend to cry during a Hallmark commercial, or it's when I'm frustrated with a coworker and bottle it up…

I just did an insane amount of googling trying to find the title of a book that my old roommate read one year when she was in a similar boat: the concept was basically one project every week that is based around making yourself a better person with more confidence in your individual ability and agency.

Yeesh—that makes me a little anxious. Will do. Thanks!

Thank you! This is awesome advice. Are washes like the one you mentioned available in stores, or do I need to get a prescription? (I get nervous when I see 10%—did it create a lot of drying when you used it? Did you have to get an accompanying moisturizer that wouldn't create break-outs?)

Little People of America, along with several other similar groups, have written petitions and letters to Chelsea asking her to stop her systematic dehumanization of little people on her show and to consider the ramifications of her viewers seeing her treat him like a subhuman mascot, night after night.

So this is kind of embarrassing to admit, but over the last 3-4 months, I've been having a ton of breakouts on my body. I've never had acne on my chest or back—aside from occasional irritation from a cheap necklace or something—but now it's out of control. I can't wear most of my favorite shirts and dresses; I get…

Billy Kersands could probably have said the same thing. Doesn't mean that he wasn't a victim of prejudice and oppression, and doesn't stop his willingness to be that victim on a public stage from perpetuating damaging stereotypes. (Taking money from someone in exchange for them discriminating against you while people…

I wonder how much female comediennes have to prove that they can make it in a man's profession by going above-and-beyond with offensive humor. Chelsea had to prove that she wasn't a sweet, pretty girl, but a cutting comedian—which meant that she had to go to an extreme with ribald, charged jokes that are just…

Sometimes she's said thing that have made me laugh, but the incredibly offensive things she's said about little people—and the way that she's objectified and dehumanized Chuy Bravo, in particular—honestly makes me want to gag. I can't handle it.

I do, and I know why! I think of "tuna fish" (as in, tuna from a can) as being distinct from tuna (as in, a nice piece of Ahi you can order in a restaurant). It could be regional—I'm also from the mid-Atlantic—but I wonder if other people on Team Tuna Fish have a similar distinction they make.
