I’ve been known to say that my parents did a really good job of parenting a kid they didn’t actually have. As the kid they did have, it’s hard sometimes to know how to feel— they really did try, and it could have been a hell of a lot worse, but there was, and still is, a fundamental inability to see the person in…

I’m pretty sure the average anti-choice politician would cheerfully take a dunk in one of those people-juice youth jacuzzis from Jupiter Ascending, and go right back to passing TRAP laws after.

The ghost of Alexander Hamilton is SO DISAPPOINTED AND ANGRY.

[quietly roots for this movie to succeed so someone can make a movie about Mary Bowser and Elizabeth van Lew. or Hannah and William Craft. Or just. like. literally any of the uncountable historical POC whose fascinating lives did not end in despair and death.]

Same. “Oh, the Internet’s battalion of asshole man-babies are calling this movie ‘feminist propaganda’? Cool. You just sold me a ticket, gentlemen.”

*a* heart. no one ever said it was HIS heart.

I think she’s my favorite right now, because no individual part of her name is notably outlandish; it’s adding them up that reveals the name’s full glory.

uuuuuugh that sounds tiresome and definitely code for some bullshit.

Sigh. I really want Hillary and Bernie to get their shit sorted out. Yeah, Bernie has a better sense of what needs to be done, but Hillary’s a thousand times better at actually *getting* shit done. Offer him the VP slot already, let him pull Hillary to the left when she needs it, and let the country start getting…

I'm honestly not sure how this could sound more like an alien unconvincingly posing as a human, short of straight up quoting Kodos and Kang.

but definetly prefer a single color grandchild

Have you read this interview he did in 1975? It’s super long and hilarious throughout. Now, imagine all the scenes of his hardscrabble Brooklyn childhood, as played by Stephanie Beatriz. Skip ahead to his years as a Borscht Belt comedian, portrayed by Mindy Kaling. Then, for his whirlwind romance with Anne Bancroft,…

I feel like Mel Brooks would enjoy the hell out of giving his own life story the Hamilton treatment, actually. And I would watch the shit out of it. I’m just sad Cleavon Little’s not around for a cameo.

Okay? I’m not sure what you want me to do for you, personally, over the internet, besides express my sympathy. On a larger scale and in my actual life, I’m doing what little I can to keep situations like the one in the article from happening.

I’m sorry to have made that assumption, and I’m sorry that something so awful happened to you. The reason I assumed you were a man was that you joined a conversation in which women discussed their experiences with men who followed them or otherwise aggressively pursued them with your own story of being assumed…

Tell you what. You start sharing the burden of never, ever knowing if the stranger you just met is going to turn into a violent psycho on no notice (which is something that has happened at least once to every woman I have ever known in my entire life) and we’ll all have a lot less to worry about!

Hey, you did notice you left this comment on a post about a woman who was literally murdered by a strange dude she didn’t know who didn’t like being turned down for a date?

I’m glad, and I hope the movie’s a huge success.

tbh I’m mostly mad that they cribbed their costumes from Captain America: The First Avenger. Steve Rogers does not approve of this bullshit.

seriously. I'd be down for a modern-day Nancy Drew series starring an actual teen, though. What's Amandla Stenberg up to?
