I think what you said is important, and I starred you to support, but I saw you reply a couple times to people pretty much saying the same thing, which makes me want to know (/ commiserate with you about) : where are these people even reading that her daughter doesn't touch people/ is deprived of touch???

Yup.

I saw that Mulaney defended it (Hale's article)... I know nothing about him except that he looks like a really immature guy I know and that he made a sexist joke in the Hulu commercial about his sitcom (parpahrasing: "you can't have Oceans 11 with just women; two of them would always break off to gossip about the…

Yeah, auno, I didn't read any of that as hate for Taylor herself. Criticism and personal hatred are not the same. Even: hatred of someone's work and hatred of *them* are not the same.

WAIT DO YOU MEAN MEG *MURRY*? AS IN A WRINKLE IN TIME?

Also, in general, I think it's hard to figure out what's "right", in that, if you don't support the beauty standard status quo, you might feel like that by "giving in" to plastic surgery to fix something about yourself, you will be condoning and furthering those standards, and even helping them become more stringent.…

Fellow Texan. I verify the Coke prevalence. Also, I understood that you probably didn't agree when you started with "even if" (but I'd be surprised if that was particularly regional). Also also, have you run into the tennis shoes (or "tennies") vs. sneakers thing? I said both tennis shoes and sneakers for the same…

Combined with a little bit of Ben Affleck?

Thank God It's Florida!

I think Malala is amazing, so I'm not mocking her at all here, but unfortunately even my association with "I am Malala" is the really funny album title by Mariah Carey, "Me. I am Mariah... The Elusive Chanteuse".

I don't know if she was coerced (into sex), I had thought it had been portrayed as consensual, but regardless, the rest of what you said I think is true - the slut-shaming, belittling, indoctrination from her family w.r.t politics, fame, and Christianity, her very young age at which many people do/ say stupid things…

That is some hard-hitting Juvenalian shit. : (

The brommittee?

I think if she just put her faith in the CDC, thinking, "well, I'm at risk as far as I know, but the CDC must know more about this than I do, and has repeatedly assured us the protocols they have are sufficient", etc., then I think that's pretty reasonable.

I don't know if it's fair to make a tumblr like this because of privacy, though.

Legit.

What do you think the correlation was between owning a plantation, setting trends of style/ dress, and being in that 5% who owned slaves?

I'm sick of the whole "make sure they know how much she eats" thing.

I mean, I pretty much agree with you... I don't think you can ever totally remove the researcher from the research. When you get right down to it, any analysis of something that is not complete equivalence is introducing corruption, so the only objective way to represent something is the thing itself.

I'm sticking with it for Viola Davis and Shonda Rhimes, even though, like plot-wise, and other-actors wise, there's a lot I don't love about it.
