Rich pretty people are often treated well by the world because they are rich and pretty, and this makes a lot of them think that nobody would actually try to hurt them or steal from them, because people are really just good at heart, you know??? So it comes as a complete shock when they get blatantly ripped off…

“We’ve done Coachella, EDC, Ultra, everything.”
Even when I was 20, this statement would make me want to punch that person.

Like, I hope this is a transcript of a, like, literal conversation and this idiot didn’t type up, like, a description of her experience using these words.

like, this was my rent, which I just spent on this thing that’s not happening.

Like, why would anyone try to actually scam us?

What makes it worse is that these people PAID to see Tyga perform.

“Festivals are guaranteed to be bad in one way or another”

What year is it where people would pay $10k to hear Blink-182?

It’s like a FEMA death camp for hipsters, millenials, dollar store sunglasses and flannel.

What’s worse, being stranded without food or shelter or having to see Tyga perform.

I read an article yesterday by a woman who had been part of the quiverful movement as a young adult who was saying that it was the reality that she grew up in. It was terrifying.

One of the things that has jumped out at me in the first three episodes is just how I miss Faye Dunaway and Victoria Tennant’s acting, and it’s a reason why I’ve enjoyed the series but don’t think it’s a particularly good adaptation as of yet.

But did these men actually do that, though? Because the tweets seem perfectly innocuous and if we cover up the avatar pictures there’s nothing about them that in any way reads as “I AM A MAN AND HERE ARE MY MANPINIONS.”

I have no idea what Veronica is trying to say by highlighting these. It honestly seems like the only…

In some cases it’s based on personal taste, yes, but in this case my dad is the one who enjoys Sci-Fi/speculative fiction movies and shows, while my mom is more into period pieces/drama. Literally the reason I didn’t initially recommend it to him was because of the feminist themes.

Post Hunger Games, there actually has been a plethora of nearly unreadable knockoff dystopian YA SF/F. It usually lacks much in the way of sociopolitical commentary save to set up a paper thin world for their protagonist to save.

Really surprised that in the run-up to this hardly anyone referenced the movie....which was damn good and very underrated.

You know, I feel ya. I think the writing leaves something to be desired but is saved by the story. It’s probably why Atwood’s work is so hit or miss. I think Oryx and Crake and Year of the Flood are much better books in terms of writing, although the last book in that series, MaddAddam, falls flat for the same reasons…

I really wish Jezebel would actually review the series. But unfortunately it seems all we have so far are these weird snarky pieces that talk around the series and don’t provide any real feminist analysis or viewpoint on the actual content.

I was talking to both my parents on the phone yesterday about how good the show was and I found myself instinctively saying, “You should watch it mom, I don’t know if you’d like it dad,” before realizing how much internalized misogyny I had just expressed. Literally I was trying to protect my dad from facing some of…
