It’s such a looong florid song. It always felt like you were being taken hostage by a performance. I prefer a good pledge (except that whole under god thing, ugh). Because if there is a god I’m sure he really appreciates the reactionary lip service.

Is this a thing? It makes sense for a pledge because you’re swearing something but I don’t recall doing the hand to heart for the anthem.

“Camp is an aesthetic style and sensibility that regards something as appealing because of its bad taste and ironic value. Camp aesthetics disrupt many of modernism’s notions of what art is and what can be classified as high art by inverting aesthetic attributes such as beauty, value, and taste through an invitation…

Friendly note. You might want to re-read that comment. It says Veronica Mars makes sense because her dad wasn’t a insurance agent but in fact a cop.

Salman Rushdie is like that too. I enjoy when oral story telling tradition peaks through in prose. That said sometimes it’s easier to track with an audiobook.

He’s creating an environment and laying the ground work that America might be gre.....and I threw up.

Roy Cohn: Your problem, Henry, is that you are hung up on words, on labels: “gay”, “homosexual”, “lesbian.” You think they tell you who a person sleeps with, but they don’t tell you that. Like all labels, they refer to one thing and one thing only: Where does a person so identified fit in the food chain? In the…

Can’t shake the devil’s hand and say you’re only kidding

THIS, so much this.

Wasn’t she trying to educate herself by asking a spokesperson for #whitewashedout. I guess the stranger thing isn’t a sticking point to me because Margaret Cho is highly visible and vocal and invited a discussion. One could argue that the conversation should be on MC’s terms but I think TC attempted to frame it that…

I hear what you’re saying but isn’t Margaret Cho the type of person you’d want to talk to? She had publicly talked about this specific casting issue and others, was informed about the way hollywood works, and is smart to boot. MC didn’t owe TS anything. However given her political and social advocacy I’m not sure it’s…

Am I grossly underestimating the number of people with machetes by their door?

“A man with an umbrella is praying for rain.”
“A man without one is a fool.”

The pen is mightier but mostly I just don’t have a machete or sword.

If someones foot is blocking your home’s door from closing is it permissable to stab said foot with a pen?

The problem is they do; as best a bunch of folks in a basement on their own can. In my experience, these people are sincerely trying to be critical readers and suss out meaning from a raft of contradictions. 

One small window I have into this is having taken bible study classes when I was younger. In one perspective, Christianity is a rejection of Jewish law in favor of Jesus. So you have a bunch of average people trying to parse the rat’s nest of a theology that is Christian dogma. Then add in the pressure to believe this…

Yes. Though you definitely appreciate their arc as they grow up.
