Can we not with the “beating diabetes with fitness” part?

I love a man with a stupid haircut and a neckbeard which are a-okay but only because I say they are. It also makes me an extra good human because I give him a pass, so, yay for me. Guys, don’t you ever for a single second feel like your stupid haircut makes you “less than”! (At least to me... I can’t speak for…

Catalina turned zero on Tuesday! *jazz hands*

I worked in a clinic with one of the Jane Collective members in the early aughts—lets call her Betty. I didn’t know that about her when I first started working there, but as I went through training I remember her smile, patience, and general calmness and warmth. She trained me to be an advocate (the precursor to what…

I haven’t enjoyed teen week either. On top of all of the normal teenage crap, I was dealing with a step-father who was clumsily trying to “groom” me and when his ineptitude or impatience (I don’t know which.) caused him to grossly underestimate my ability to defend myself, I ended up being rejected by my mother and…

Oh My God. My sister and I were fed this dreck back in the 90s. Not a month goes by that I don’t think of the anti-feminist, anti-thought poison I read between the wind-chafed, modestly dressed covers of that rag. Why, just today, I was enjoying an old episode of Homicide: Life on the Street (banned in the…

Nope. It sounds like you are working with limited knowledge here. There is audio of the entire thing plus dashcam footage of the whole thing but you can’t see Philando. Then Diamond starts recording after he was shot. He was absolutely not reaching for a weapon. Moreover, the weapon was still down in his pants when…

Biracial Mexican American (my father is white)—I know you aren’t asking me, but this is what I want to see: more multiracial, biracial, and yes nonwhite characters everywhere. I want love stories between 2 characters (of any gender) where the characters share the exact same background, or they don’t, where they are…

Its a time-honored tradition for the wealthy members of society to turn to the poor people they’re robbing and say, “hey, look over there, that dark-skinned/foreign/worshiper of a different religion person is stealing all your shit! Better go get him and completely ignore what I’m doing back here with my hands in your…

My pale European blend of paleness wife and I, a Sri Lankan guy, are thrilled every time we see an interracial couple in the media. Doesn’t matter if it’s a Cheerios commercial or an episode of Happy Endings or Sense8 or Firefly, it’s good to see some kind of reflection of us, even if it’s not a perfect reflection.

Nobody will probably see this because there are already 300+ comments, but there is so much paternalistic white racism in the comments that I still wanted to leave one to let the author know that someone stands in solidarity with her.

As one whose hair proclaims “My mother was an unusually depressed tertiary Dickens character, my father a wad of sea kelp,” all you curly-haired, naturally full-bodied heads of gorgeous curls can smooch my buttcheek.

There’s no way it would be liberation from anything to have poor women farm out their uterus for money. Liberation will come when artificial uteri will be cheaper and safer than human-borne pregnancies. At that point only Paltrow types will want to bear children in order to enjoy an organic experience.

I’ve been for 15 years.

So now would be a great time for everyone to go vegan. Resist.

I have a rant about this movie, including spoilers, so scroll away if you remotely care about the “plot”.

“Or, alternatively, maybe we could pack away the dark reinterpretations for male audiences and try it as a lavish melodramatic epic marketed to women, full of regal beefcake and impossible longing. Haha, as if! Women don’t buy movie tickets!”

A Baba Yaga movie done right could be terrifying.

God this show is so good, but I agree - it’s criminal that we never got a closer look at Joelle, who was easily my favorite part of the season. The scene in which she and Gabe go around campus to various student groups to drum up support for the protest is one of the funniest in the entire season. STOP FOLLOWING ME,…
