Not calling out Sam Bee here, but wanted to get something off my chest: I’m always a little disgruntled when “thoughts and prayers” get mocked and derided in the wake of a shooting. My church (hippie dippie New England Episcopalians) formed a Gun Reform Legislation Committee after Newtown—we have teams of callers who…

(They’re going to make you turn in your jezzie-rage card.)

Damn you and your reasonableness.

There are more important places to direct my outrage today than at 2013 Amy Schumer. Shitty thing to say, probably came from a pretty good place. Tig’s reaction to it was flawless, measured, spontaneous, honest. They’re obviously not friends but they’re two cool ladies who don’t work together anymore so let’s just…

Yes, but no. The most visible coalition of LGBT America is cis, white, educated, fairly heteronormative gay men. That’s been a longtime criticism of the movement for equality but it’s also a trump card—our white moms now know their nice gay sons are being gunned down in clubs. Due to the realities of privilege in…

I’m a little white gay boy and when I sing “Formation” in the car, I use a different voice than when I’m singing Shania Twain or Stevie Nicks in the car. It’s blacker, and it’s deliberate. And it’s ridiculous. I’m not about to do it in public. My natural voice does not just spring forth from my body with Beyonce’s…

OMG I love Fergie. Seriously anything with her name on immediately draws me because I know whatever it is will be absolutely delectable reading. She’s the one who made the royal family fun; Kate Middleton is well-mannered and classy, and Diana was stylish and socially conscious, but Fergie is the Real Housewife of…

No, he doesn’t have a point and I didn’t say anything about sexism.

Ah yes, Venus. Who’s lost to Sharapova more times than she’s beaten her.

The woman rumored to have inspired “Becky With the Good Hair” fromLemonade, Rachel Roy, reportedly “grabbed her place card” and ran the hell out of the CFDA Awards earlier this week after discovering Beyoncé Knowles was on her way in.

She’s not even staying home, she’s also producing and starring in the film. Only wanting to work two jobs is not exactly lazy.

I am not a mother, and if I could pick and choose the projects I wanted to work on because money was no object, I would absolutely do that. Hell, I would probably choose none and split my team evenly between pool lounging, exercising, cooking and volunteering for something I cared about.

Yea- this may be more a professional choice and less of a family imperative, I think.

Every year people have the same stunned overreaction to booing at Cannes. Can we put that on a post-it in our calendars for next year? “There will be booing, it doesn’t mean anything.”

Very good point. For many women, academic and career success brings flexibility— more financial security, more choices. Not everyone wants or uses it, but it’s there.

That’s not what was said at all. “Worth upwards of $20 million” and “has 25 scripts sitting on her desk” is not the same thing as “has 25 scripts sitting on her desk for consideration, each of which will pay her upwards of $20 million.”

There’s no money in this. It IS cut and dried.

So she was willing to “protect” Johnny from criminal charges but she’s perfectly comfortable using domestic violence as leverage to attain a bigger divorce settlement? She chose the legal/retributive option that paid better.

Hi there! You’re free — use your powers for good.

Walk to forget
