I bet the catriarchy did this

"[Firth] has a briefly seen, occasionally mentioned fiancée named Olivia (Catherine McCormack), who is a fellow skeptic and an intellectual peer, meaning that she has no chance with him."

You're kind of making me rethink my cardigan collection right now.

I was broke as shit after being my bff's bridesmaid. I bought a beautiful jar and a nice pen & wrote down all of the great memories I had of her and her husband. They later told me they ended up drinking champagne and opening all my little slips and reading them. They loved it. It still sits on their mantle, ten years…

This frame of mind is exactly why there is such slow progress in diversifying work places. People act like we live in an egalitarian society and don't take into account the role that discrimination (both covert and overt) play in our daily lives, yet alone hiring practices. #kermitdrinkingtea, but that's none of my…

Former low-level actress here. My anecdotal experience is definitely not seeing giant bodybuilder types working the cameras. There were mostly average sized men, with the normal amount of shorties and chubbies, as well as a few (for some reason, usually smaller-sized) women thrown in. People operating cameras for 12…

I worked in my university Stage Crew for three years setting up large lighting rigs and PAs and I could lift almost anything a man could and so could many of the other female Crew members. I worked alongside the touring crews of the bands (some of them UK top 40 bands of the time) and they would often start out…

No, it very much is not. At all.

If you have a statistic that can debunk 22.6 percent, please do feel free to share it.

Friendly reminder, however, that the plural of "anecdote" is not "data". You may have *personally* come into contact with many women. That does not make the industry woman-friendly. It means only that, in your own work, you have…

I don't think that Jezebel reported on this but here in the UK the BFI (British film industry) announced that if you want to receive funding from them (and a lot of films here in the UK do rely on them) you must have on-screen diversity and off-screen diversity. It doesn't solve everything but it is good first step.

Amazing. A person who doesn't like people who "belittle" trans people yet in the very next statement writes something that is incredibly belittling to trans people. Holy fucking shit.

All that head-touching, and then down at the nape of the neck while he's gathering up the last few strands of hair...holy moly. I would lose. my. mind.

My dad (not a single dad) always braided my hair. I also made him do my haircuts. He cut my mom's hair, too. It's like the greatest quality a dad can have.

My dad, a single dad that raised three girls, used to French braid our hair for school every day. The ladies loved it lol. He now does my daughter's hair when she's over at his house :)

I fan-crushed on him ever since his days on Everwood. And he can french braid too??

I *did* feel a bit pleased the other day when I rejected my junior high bully's friend request on Facebook. I can just flick her attentions off like a fly, now. I love being an adult. And now, back to not thinking about junior high at all, for years on end.

I went with not because I'm the kind of weirdo that hates it when people spoil shows or movies or books for me, even if they've been around forever and I still haven't gotten around to reading/watching them.

On a light note, I'm never going to hear someone pull the whole "I'll tell my daddy on you" thing without picturing Draco Malfoy hissing, "FATHER WILL HEAR OF THIS," am I? (No. No I am not.)

Yeah, guys - it was just a joke!
