No matter the true reason, I’m going to imagine it’s because he wants to devote more time to his hobby of cobbling shoes in his English countryside barn.

Whyyyyyyyy why why is a beauty column using lo-res gifs, compressed color, no before-and-after pics, no product pictures and no clear indication of what the product looks like on your face? I know you guys are going for something different, but you’re completely abandoning the point to do so. Not to mention, the…

I really miss XOvain and millihelen. I love watching YouTube videos on all things make up and beauty. However this blog post did not excite me and in any which way. Just a random posting of opinions on new and old products with no rhyme or reason. No particular angle nor were there any really good pictures of the…

The point is that for many folks, you can’t separate racial oppression from gender oppression. They’re not separate boxes to tick, thus not doing so distracts from the story that you’re trying to tell. It’s a reality of the constraints of storytelling.

I hate to say this, but this is where the big money liberal donors need to flock to. This is the man that Hollywood needs to throw five figure per plate dinners. This is the game that has been established so its the game that needs to be played. Paying for the ads that call out just how awful Ryan is for his…

Dems already do that and it backfires on them, because they cede way too much of the country to Republicans, turning it into a right-wing echo chamber. They also tend to focus way too far on short term tactics and not long-term strategy.

You guys do realize that it’s possible to write a show that adequately addresses both race and gender simultaneously, right? The two issues aren’t mutually exclusive.

My students do not have meaningful memories of the AIDS crisis at its highest pitch — before the “cocktail” treatment was introduced in the 90s, for sure, HIV/AIDS was an automatic death sentence with a very short horizon. So I have to explain things like ACT UP, Larry Kramer, etc. It’s not as if AIDS went away, of…

With the increasing rate of opioid abuse this is a huge problem. But, considering Pence’s handling of the outbreak in Indiana we shouldn’t be surprised.

At this point, no one with established credentials will work with this administration. It is shattering under the weight of its incompetency.

This was SO GOOD. I want Abbie & Gemma to have their own detective show a la Cagney & Lacey.

I was way more interested in Sister Russell. She was so oddly absent from the whole thing except for the 5 minutes they spent on what happened to her.

The Catholic Church is not happy with this series. But what’s insane to me is that, if there were instances of abuse committed by members of the church it wouldn’t make them guilty/culpable. But they go to such lengths to cover it up, and protect the abusers that they really have become what they purport to fight…

This documentary is a difficult watch. But what I took away from it and choose to focus on are these incredible women. I’m in awe of every single one of them especially Abbie, Gemma, Jane Doe, and Jane Roe. Their strength, resilience, bravery, determination, I can go on and on. Remarkable people.

I was so struck by Jean’s retelling of what happened to her. It was so matter-of-fact but so painful and sad at the same time. Some of the details really haunt me, I can’t imagine how she must have felt. It takes an incredibly brave woman to speak out like this.

Everyone should watch this if they’re able. Watch this and learn the importance of believing women telling their abuse stories. Watch this and learn how your shaming and “she’s just doing it for attention/money,” narrative makes other victims too scared and ashamed to come forward. Hearing those woman talk about how…

I am on my second (but first BIG) solo trip abroad and I am currently in Iceland! And I deleted my work email off my phone because screw that, you can’t reach me! SUCK IT! Solve your own problems! I’ve got waterfalls to climb to the top of! Exclamation point!

Oh sweet mercy, these eyes! That scar! The sly, coy looks. The hair! I’m a man, but I’m feeling super pregnant now.

And, we will eventually achieve this goal, but yeah, it may take another generation or two.
