Exactly.

But what is embarrassing about it? That its showing the reality of who exactly is welcome to pledge these groups? Frankly I’m not sure I see why this video is hitting a nerve. Its basically showing what many already know to be true, if you are poor, overweight, a minority or the least bit of an individual with your…

For real! I went to an exhibit of hers once. So much nope. So much bizarre, self-important nope. Ugh.

Yeah but without the balance of Behar, who could always shut Hasselback down when necessary the combo of Bure/Goldber/Simone will be a shit show.

Oh, you mean like this one? http://gawker.com/racist-oklahom…

Ugh, this video broke my heart for Vasquez and his mom. The look of complete incredulity and sheer hurt on her face in the presence of this racist shit bag. I would have started taking my earrings off and tried to intimidate that evil woman into silence with my blackness and then rushed over to poor mom to give her a…

Exactly this.

Right?!? I love your smile, so let’s hear it for the boy! So far she seems like a solid choice and she seems like a doll so good luck to her!

Feeling is most likely mutual.

As an example of vocal fry? If so, well I absolutely hated Seinfeld.

Link please? Not being snarky, just genuinely curious.

Yup. I can see this point. I absolutely think its generational.

This!!! I have also witnessed something similar. So bizarre.

I think its more than gendered, its also about age, race and privilege too. I personally find uptalk grating. Women in my family were raised to speak assertively and powerfully (which presents a problem in corporate America when you’re a black girl that likes to sound uppity but that’s another topic). For me this is…

I’ll have to take your word for it, I’m just not familiar with Ira Glass. I Googled, but don’t have time to listen to compare at the moment. But I will.

I have just never heard a man sound like this in my experience. If I had, they would be given the same side eye I’d give their woman counterpart. This to me is a phenomenon that affects women disproportionately, just like overuse of the word “sorry” and “like” and making declarative statements that sound like…

No. Women who sound like this sound terrible. I can’t speak for anyone else, but it ain’t just the bros. Women who speak like this may come across as uniformed and unintelligent in a professional setting. Trust, as someone who is well versed in code switching, its fine to sound like a Kardashian amongst your friends.…

I absolutely do. Inevitably when a reminder comes along that the 90’s were not in fact 10 years ago, like the 20th anniversary of Kids, I reach for the wines and cry tears of lament. We are triplets for sure.

So basically, you are my musical twin. Massive Attack, Tricky, Thievery Corporation, Zero 7, Enigma, Portishead, Groove Armada, and Morcheeba???? All of these are in constant rotation for me, sexy time or not!

It always creeps me out when I see him in photos, not only long but a strange amount of girth too.
