I’ve been thinking about this a lot since so many of the responses here are focused on the internet shaming aspect of this. Yes, that adds a new dimension of people being able to lash out at a person who made a hurtful mistake, intentionally or not. BUT, folks like Pyle have also been able to use the platform of the…

So is Poldark a mystery show? Because I will watch the ever-loving fuck out of an old-timey police procedural. And what platforms is it available on?

Thank you. I’m here for high-brow nerd sex shows based on novels, but can we talk about Corrine already and how she is the worst human being alive and also the first toddler to ever appear on the show?!

I was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited for Versailles. Part of my research examines the Affair of Poisons (which I think will be covered in season 2) and I visited Versailles for the first time this fall, I was PRIMED TO LOVE IT. I’m still not over it being in English and you’re right, it is SO slow. I don’t care about highway…

And Trump taking 13-20 mins in between multi-part tweets. That kind of slow thinking and slower typing really makes a sick burn....burnier?

Well sure, Kanye’s music lacks the class, gravitas, or traditional values exhibited by Big and Rich’s hit “Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy.”

In my African American Women’s History class some of the last readings are about Michelle Obama, which insures that I get all riled up about it every year. I just imagine the meetings that were held to try to decide what cause she would focus on during her time in the White House. Given that she had already been…

I was already nauseous after “Daddy Pence,” but somehow it was the specificity of mentioning the “high-protein snacks” that pushed me over the edge.

Not “traditionally American” huh? Not from “real America (TM)”, hmmm?? 2017 Dog whistles: they just sound like regular old whistles!

Since Day 1 Michelle Obama has exuded a sense that she recognizes how powerful it is for her and her family to be living in that house, both because of the White House’s history and because they are a black family. I’ve been moved by the way that she has shown reverence for that past but also challenged it (remember…

This sounds amazing! I know that Right-wingers who think all college is frivolous loooove to gleefully hate-report on classes like this, but of course professors like Bradley want to expand the canon! Why not pick a popular topic that will draw students in? They might not take a class on New New South race and gender…

It’s far from your most important point here, but holy shit Clinton was only 49 at the time?! And we just elected a 70-year-old? WTF?!?!?

Yep, the bargaining has already begun, in my mind DeVos and Sessions are the two worst.

I don’t think it’s just Trump, I think (surprise, surprise) they’re coming out in full force to The Root.

Aww! Looking forward to reading it to my own. I love how the little girl’s curls seem to float above her head!

It must be fun to have so much privilege that you don’t experience microaggressions. Some of us know just how insidious they are. I’m sorry that the only racists aren’t the ones wearing Klan robes and burning crosses, there are daily racist (and sexist, and homophobic) actions that also tear people down.

Word would get out that he was handsome, but you’re totally right, word would get out that he was the Sia of bishops / cardinals, the conclave would ostensibly know about this policy before hand. I will choose to ignore this glaring plot hole that you have expertly identified.

YES! I have to spend a little bit of time each day listening to podcasts in French or reading in French. Second / third / etc. languages are a muscle, use them or lose them!

What baffles me most is people who get on long plane rides with no means of amusement whatsoever, much less a book. But yes, reading is paradoxically one of the things I do for a living AND the only way to shut my brain down at night.

That looks adorable, just added it to my baby registry!
