I want to see Iago as a woman. It’s my favorite Shakespearean role.

Useless movie nerd fact: Ripley from the Alien franchise was originally written as a man. Now she's one of cinemas greatest asskickers.
“I’m not a heartless, child-kicking racist.”
Who was that one ONTD person who, 7 years before I knew what a diva cup was, had the user pic of Britney in her diamond Toxic costume, with the words “TOOK A SIP FROM MY DIVA CUP” because I only got it in the last 2 years and it just makes me die inside. In a good way.
Well if it makes you feel better, no one who lived there had the advantage of plumbing, so you probably weren’t the first to do it.
When I was about ten, my friend’s Catholic parents took us to see Jesus Christ Superstar at a dinner theater. After the show was over, we all walked out and saw Jesus and Judas, still mostly in costume, making out on the wraparound deck of the place while smoking a joint.
This may qualify more as holy than sacriligeous. I spent part of my childhood in West Virginia, and our town had a little monument to Robert E. Lee. Supposedly it was the place where he first saw his horse, although that’s the kind of story that could easily be a local myth.
My husband and I toured the Paris Catacombs. It was one of the pivotal experiences in my life - I emerged with a profound acceptance of my own mortality, along with some insight into the darker side of human nature. While we were in there, we saw a woman (an American, sunnysunny-blond, moneyed, extremely entitled) pry…
I went to a Catholic school for middle school and I have two stories from my time there. During Lent, we all wrote down our sins on a piece of paper. The priest took the paper and set them on fire before he started the Eurachrist. Behind him, I could see sparks as the fire started to melt the bowl. The kindergartens…
Mentioning the 9/11 gift shop always makes me think of this.
Presented without comment: Marc Maron’s tweet. Over the images of Stacey and Miley...
But notice this woman wasn’t also appalled by the utter poverty Lacks grew up in or how her husband/cousin impregnated her at 14, and was abusive throughout their marriage. Those things don’t turn your stomach, but you’re grossed out that she had a vagina.
That book is simply phenomenal. I don’t even care that this lemon-sucking troglodyte is having a hissy fit about it. I’m just delighted to hear that it’s being taught in schools. It’s exactly what you want kids to be exposed to in formative years: ferocious, unflinching, compassionate and demanding of whip-smart…
God, this makes me sad for a whole number of reasons. Mostly the insistence of somehow equating scientific, accurate terms with sex or or sexiness sexuality.
In the meantime, Henrietta Lacks’ author Rebecca Skloot responded to the controversy on Facebook, saying that Sims has “confused gynecology with pornography.”
The fact that this woman apparently gets off to descriptions of cancer and STIs is way more than I need to know about her weird kinks.
I feel like they’ve really lived up to their characters, what with Daniel Radcliffe being charming and self-effacing, Emma Watson being a feminist activist and Matthew Lewis, a shockingly attractive ugly duckling/late bloomer. Pretty much all of them seem beautiful inside and out. I find it all unusually affecting, as…
I still love everyone involved with Harry Potter. I think there is virtually no problematic people (Crabbe doesn’t really matter), and they’re all still lovable as hell. The perks of living far away from Hollywood. This would not be happening if it had been an American production. Everyone is so well adjusted and…
I support anything that reminds the world of Matthew Lewis. Yum.
