Personally I hope she does, or did, whatever she damn well pleases. It makes no difference to me.

I learned that lesson about Twinkies, which broke my pudgy heart.

They’re not terrified. They’re racists drunk on their power.

No. She kind of resembles a mannequin to me.

I’m reading the new biography about Laura Ingalls Wilder, Prairie Fires (it’s REALLY good—I highly recommend it) and the real story about that doll is even sadder.

Yearly reminder that we are so fucking boring.

I feel the same way. Coverage of queer issues here generally sucks. I think it’s a shame there isn’t a section devoted to LGBT+ issues. Or an entire other site, like The Root, or The Splinter.

far less preventative care (presumably due to discrimination or fear of discrimination from doctors)

Ha, I agree. I live in Baltimore and could obviously go to the show in Columbia, MD, but I’m not a big fan of Merriweather either. I’m thinking about getting tickets to the show in Madison, WI and then using that as an excuse to visit family.

The second-most recent Pod Save America episode includes an interview with immigration activist Marisa Franco.

I mean, this isn’t brand new…

...don’t look at them?

I’ve seen more men wearing them to my gym recently, which is awesome. Some wear them under shorts, but a couple don’t. I hope men make the transition to workout tights/leggings, too, because they are so damn comfortable. Especially the compression ones.

Yes, and I found her book to be incredibly helpful to start doing something that did not come naturally to me.

They actually tried to rehabilitate homosexuals instead of just outright killing them.

Is Norton a lesbian? I don’t think she is. She calls herself a queer activist, but that doesn’t mean she’s gay. Granted, I didn’t know anything about her until last night...

I liked the second and third books in the Southern Reach trilogy, but I feel like Annihilation is a good standalone. If you’re interested in trying something else by Vandermeer, I recommend Borne. You might like it more than Annihilation.

...did you mean to only respond with a period?
