It’s just not adding an unnecessary gender to a job title. Actors and actresses do the same job, so it makes sense to give them the same label. It’s similar to how waiters and waitresses have become servers, especially since “waitress” tends to have different connotations than “waiter.”

I’ll admit that I have always been very enamored of her apartment in Tribeca, though. She used to Instagram a lot of videos of her cats from there, and everything seemed cozy and nice.

I have a Mirena, and the first period was weird and long and heavy. So was the second. But now I don’t have periods, and it’s glooooooorious!

There are a ton of people in this world who are into power dynamics like this, which is totally chill. But the kind of people I’ve met who are into respectful, super-consensual dominant interactions like that would have qualified those fantasies by mentioning the need for your consent and enthusiasm. At the very least…

I always watch Shakespeare in Love when I’m feeling hopeless or emotionally flat. It makes me sob for the last thirty minutes, but it’s so hopeful at the end!

I get a lot of new stuff from the subreddit /r/listentothis, but it’s all very pretentious, and it wouldn’t help with knowing who any of these folks are.¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Jessica Williams is so, so wonderful, even in the face of such bizarre bullshit.

As I was saying, it emphasizes their wonderfulness.

Tay and Bey have such avid fans that being in that massive of a crowd would be exhausting and probably frightening. Which emphasizes the wonderfulness of the celebrities who did attend but makes it hard to blame those who didn’t.

Can I share my poster from the Denver march here? Because I’m super proud of it and still riding a giddy high from the march. What did you guys’ posters say?

The Rock is always sexy, but I feel like he’s most sexy when he’s not channeling Mr. Clean.

I asked out a guy that my friend likes this week. It was partially because I suck, but also partially because I have always been very passive in my dating life and happened upon a rare opportunity where I felt confident enough to ask somebody out. I hadn’t ever asked anybody out irl; usually I wait very patiently…

They stole this idea from Liz Lemon.

That sucks so bad. Do you have the kind of adviser or program director who is willing to work with you for a retake or whatever you want at this point? I failed my written comps in May and spent a month in a weepy, unproductive fog. But it can be a good excuse to take a break ostensibly to prepare yourself for your…

Why, thank you!

I’ve never seen Pulp Fiction, Fight Club, Little Rascals, or Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. They get mentioned a lot in conversation, but I feel like the internet has pretty much told me all the key parts I need to know to blend in like a normal person.

I have never seen this movie, but if there are wigs and cold fusion and the utilization of sexual tension to beat the elements, it sounds ideal. Embarrassingly, I think some of my body heat fantasizing came from the stupid tent scene in the third Twilight book.

Haha, I’m so glad that this is a theme in fundie teenager sexual fantasies! It seems kind of morbid in retrospect.

I used that term facetiously on the English Comp AP test, because I was super stupidly sassy at the time. I don’t remember the prompt; I just remember thinking, “My English teacher never told us not to cuss on this thing, right?” It worked out okay.

Oh, yikes. One time, I watched my snowboarder-y friend try really hard not to knock me over like that, but as a result he got off to early and landed way left, so that our chair came around and hit him in the chest. It’s a bit hard to describe, but it was really a spectacular fiasco.
