Getting his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, son!

I’ll say this about cheesy earnestness: thank fucking God. We’ve had decades of troubled superheros, deconstructed superheroes, grimdark superheroes. We can’t even have a fun, uplifting Superman. So I can’t tell you how happy it makes me to see some idealistic, heart-on-the-sleeve earnestness for a change. That was…

Hello, did somebody order a gif?

Sam’s speech was a big swing but when he said “The only power I have is that I believe we can do better.” I found myself doing a big, unironic, corny head-nod.

I appreciate the mention of how Karli and Sharon were underserved by the series’ 6-hour movie feel. One of the virtues that television has over film is that it’s easier to stop for a moment and dedicate time to supporting members of the ensemble without sacrificing the greater story arc of the leads, but Falcon and…

You do realize that there is no intention of ‘accomodation’, when the ban is placed before women even realize they are pregnant.

Those adjustments CAN be made, but AREN’T. That’s the point. These laws aren’t about the ‘consequences of irresponsible and unprotected sex’, these laws are about controlling women. Not all pregnancies are a result of unprotected sex - you realize that, right? And I’m not even talking about rape right now.…

“Oh, honey, you know those three rapes were only instances of sex you regret. There are consequences for your actions. You should be stoned to death.” —said too many conservatives after reading her account.

There’s been some speculation that Krasko is set to recur. Partially because Josh Bowman is fairly well established for being given so little to do. That’s not confirmed, but I would like it if Doctor Who introduced recurring villains who aren’t from just the old series. It would also make sense for them a) not really…

If you haven't noticed, this isn't exactly a subtle moment in history we're living in.  I have no problem with people shouting loud enough to be heard by the dipshits in the back of the class.

A better way to frame it would have been to have the Doctor fail to make it happen on the day it happened, then have it happen the next day. Even better, the day the Doctor originally thought it happened would have been a different day. (You could also make the day they end up with the day in the history books…

Robinson was terrific as Parks. I had the same fears about sidelining Parks in her own story but they handled it well. The bad guy was indeed kind of boring but that totally works here - the bad guy should be just a petty, bitter bigot in this story. Why is Ryan so hard on Graham, though?

“Non-Consensual Footsie”.

My rage for you is immense, I am so sorry your “friends” could not give you the support you need. Especially the person that said you almost ruined their relationship. Like, your being violated is worse than him actually violating some. Fucking people sometimes

I was a victim of childhood sexual abuse for many years. It took me twenty years to tell anyone. I worked with a great therapist, but still kept it to myself. About six years ago, the relative who did it was arrested for child porn. My mother asked me if he had ever “bothered” me. I was sick of lying so I told her the…

Yes. I wonder if the jerk that raped me ever ponders what he did all those years ago. I was the last drunk girl in a carload of drunk girls to be taken home that night. I’d known him since grade school. He dragged me out in a bean field and did the deed. He had a friend with him, and he encouraged him to join the…

I’m continually amazed that there are thousands, maybe millions of people living in the same world as me but experiencing a completely different reality. Like, they see the same events I do and have access to the same information I do, yet they come to such bonkers, obviously impossible conclusions, like “men face a…

Whenever I refer to him, I never capitalize his name.  And never modify it with the word president either.  He’s just trump. 

“The Associated Press reports that the student was initially reluctant to come forward because the sexual abuse occurred years prior, but detectives found enough corroborated evidence after interviewing the three sisters to arrest Knight.”

Gee, I wonder why the girls thought that would be an issue. I am so over this…

Must be a scary time to be a man....who has raped women.
