“FINALLY! A man willing to talk about his miscarriage. I don’t know why no one has ever told this story before.”

I’m with you on this, but can we maybe disentangle the debate about reproductive rights from a discussion about eugenics? There are many good, sensible arguments for family planning services. “Those people have too many babies!”, which is the terminus of just about every debate I’ve ever had that discusses…

Oh yeah, in the context of the movie, it’s absolutely cringe worthy. Of course, when I say it, it’s while crying into my pillow with CNN in the background, so it’s somewhat less insidious.

“Why do you concentrate on poverty, racism and hate instead of pointing out all the good things this country has to offer.”

Oh come on, please.  from hell’s heart i stab at thee.

“Call me bookfail,”

Any little step counts and frankly there’s nothing wrong with making people feel welcome. Men in the United States are generally not expected to take much interest in raising their children beyond providing for the family and being the “fun” parent. 

Out Of Sight. The editor on this movie was Anne V. Coates, who’s a legend. This is how you do sex right; the intensity of the scene is inversely proportional to what’s shown.

The thing that bugs me is that there are so many things my local stores should have, but don’t. I went to three different stores to look for some ScotchGard before just buying it on Amazon.

I know. No such thing as an entitlementplasty.

And how they hurt the Democratic Party’s chances by, as women, failing and something something angry forgotten midwesterners.

It’ll take far too long to make it to a streaming channel here - I’ll put together a posse of queers and we’ll go do dinner, too many cocktails, and see it :) It’ll be fun, even if the movie ends up not utterly amazing.

Is it even possible now to be unpaid while playing basketball at Kansas?

Having received a PhD in medieval history and been trained by a number of exceptional women, I’ll admit I’m somewhat piqued that the author is claiming to be a medievalist and a scholar. While I don’t believe that one needs a PhD to be a historian, one has to at least have some body of work and a strong understanding…

...came the Albigensians/Cathars. In the 13th century, the Catholic Church was so “secure in its own power” that it launched a Crusade against southern France.

I miss you writing on a more regular basis.  Glad to see you are still awesome.  

“Maybe Fatalism is the feudalism of the soul.”

Jackie Brown is Tarantino’s best because it’s based on a solid, well-structured novel by Elmore Leonard (who didn’t write many that weren’t). Much as I like and sometimes love QT’s other movies, Jackie Brown is the one I watch most and I wish to hell his final movie, if it is really that, would be another Leonard…

I heard this argument about Hillary Clinton. Honestly not sure if I'm more bummed they think that about women, or that they think she’d PMS AT SEVENTY YEARS OLD.

Yes, will someone tell Uncle Joe to please sit.
