I think there are two categories of TERFs, or at least that’s been my experience with them. There’s the truly unhinged, who think men are actually transitioning so they can use public bathrooms and rape women. Those people are hopeless. Then there are the TERFs-Lite, for lack of a better term, who don’t deny trans…

I think she was awful in Twilight and then surprised afterward by proving that she could, in fact, act. She doesn’t have a ton of range but she is definitely talented. She’s very good in the right roles and very very bad in the wrong roles (Jeanne Seberg? I think anyone praising her role in that has probably never…

She was so miscast in that as well. She definitely learned to act after Twilight but she’s not the brilliant thespian some would lead you to believe either. She doesn’t have much range. Casting her as Diana is a terrible idea. 

She is way more talented than her performance in Twilight would lead you to believe. She’s no Meryl Streep - I think people were just surprised she wasn’t always a wet noodle since that’s all she did in Twilight, so they tend to overstate her actual talent - but she’s decent. This is still a terrible casting choice…

There’s no “rehabilitation” here though. If you read the NYT article, Amy Cooper sounds like an asshole who may or may not have mental health issues but she is high functioning enough to have a high profile job and at least some friendships. She sounds odd, intense, conflictive and possibly delusional, if the asshole…

Is it weird that I’m grateful to be wired in such a way that if my life goes to shit, there’s a bigger chance I’ll resort to drug addiction than to self-help groups/pyramid schemes/religion/cults?

It’s the Republican Barbie aesthetic. Overstyled, overprocessed Real Housewife/Bachelorette hair that is probably 2/3 extensions, tight and generic clothes, fake tits, way too many accessories, and an insane amount of contouring, bronzer and make up. Basically, ‘more is more’. The worst part is they’re convinced they…

Frozen vegetables (the good kind) are fine for certain things but not for others. And there’s definitely a change in texture so it really depends what you’re making. But there are also some really shitty industrial frozen veg dishes out there that aren’t plain vegetables and are full of preservatives and sodium and…

You must be new here.

Oh of course! I’ve gotten takeout a few times since this started and obviously when you have to enter a restaurant to pick up your food, I’ll put on my mask. But I’ve picked up food from a couple of places that have set up a pick-up window and if there are people waiting before you, they line up on the sidewalk, masks…

Yeah, if there’s an order than you have to follow it but that’s not the case where I live. It’s summer in DC and there’s no order here except for shops and public transportation, so I’ll keep taking my mask on and off (and applying hand sanitizer every time if I’ve touched anything), thanks. For the sake of breathing.…

My pleasure!

I would recommend including conditions for in person tours in the listing. Make masks mandatory and buy a box of disposable ones for anyone who ‘forgets’.

I mean, isn’t that typical Refinery 29 though? I admit, I don’t frequent the site a lot but the times I’ve clicked on links to articles from Facebook or other places, it seems very superficial and like they don’t delve too deep into anything. It is not a site I would ever go to if I wanted to learn more about…

I’m all for wearing masks but not a standing order to wear one outside at all times. It’s not necessary. I wear mine outside if I’m waking in the neighbourhood and there are enough people in the street that you can’t avoid passing them, or if I want to go to the park and it’s crowded (though if that’s the case I…

It’s not just the differences between red and blue states that impacted that, it’s that there was never any restriction on travel between states, whether by air or land. 

That’s not the point Biden is trying to make. He’s talking about hte immediate impact this had beyond the US and at a speed and reach not seen before. He’s talking about the impact of technology. But I’m also not going to continue an endless exchange over something that isn’t a big deal in the grand scheme of things.…

I was just reading about this this morning. The fact that Mulroney spelled libel as ‘liable’ makes her look like a moron in addition to her paranoid Karen status. The other lady didn’t even call her out by name. How much of a fucking clueless, ignorant narcissist do you have to be to not only take something like that…

It is. The guy’s Twitter has a big BLM photo as the background. And he tweeted about this piece and is tickled to be included lol

Pretty sure that was a joke tweet but the author of this piece forgot to check the source. If you go to the guy’s Twitter, he has BLM as his background photo.
