I hate to agree because I love Bjork so much (I think Vulnicura is a devastating masterpiece) but I listened to Utopia last night and found it painful to get through. After finishing it I immediately began streaming stuff from Post and Homogenic to remind me of why I fell in love with her back in her Sugarcubes days.

some of her stuff is nice.. but yeah... i get that...

Only if your top priority is coddling the ignorant.

Unlike kids. Hope I never make that mistake again...

It’s because we are poor and can’t afford home decor. Also plants are nice and when you kill them by accident no one asks questions.

Pinin’ for the fjords.

It’s all human-centric nonsense. As if one species on the planet can read the body languages of every other species. Humans need to leave.

I have a coworker who has his autistic child on a VERY strict diet (including gluten free) and he’s told me that it has some really positive effects in the little guy’s behavior and general disposition. They’re essentially Paleo, if I remember right, but I think they’re also nut free. Dairy free too, if that’s even…

I read it as “I want to be unfuckable” haha! Did they not hire a graphic designer to check that font?

yes, when i was bullied i was physically battered by a group of kids. ironically one of my tormenters got a taste of the same beating the next year.

Yeah, considering that Julianne Hough dressed up in blackface for Halloween in 2013, I wouldn’t hesitate to assume that her discomfort owed to (at the very fucking least) racial insensitivity.

I used to work with adults who had guardianship over other adults with learning and developmental disabilities. People just don’t understand that someone can be nice, smart in many ways and appear put together... and actually be totally without responsibility in determining the course of their lives. I blame the…

I think it’s also location. No one had ever heard of Sandy Hook before - it’s a small town in a small state. Everyone’s heard of Orlando. Millions of people vacation here every year, and everyone knows Disney. It makes it more real for a lot of people when it’s somewhere they know and somewhere they’ve been. There are…

I think you’re right about the ethnicity of the shooter. They consider this guy to be a terrorist, while everyone bent over backwards to paint the Sandy Hook shooter as mentally ill (and, therefore, “not the gun’s fault”).

I see parallels in the Black Lives Matter movement. Even though Trayvon Martin was not shot by a police officer, I still think of the outrage surrounding his death being the beginning of what is now the Black Lives Matter Movement. Many people thought we would make big changes after his death. Not much happened with…

I think people were just simply stunned by the response from the NRA and far right after Sandy Hook. It took a while for it to sink in that these were really the arguments being made, the absurd and perverse priorities being championed in the face of families of dead children. I think now people are galvanized and…

Not to mention, isn’t this the same guy who, by his own admission, is the actual guilty party in the sexual misconduct scandal that Gawkerverse keeps trying to pin on Louis CK?

That’s more accurately regarded as tribalism, not racism which involves specific constructs. And I was under the impression that the Hutu/Tutsi conflict was created, or at the very least, intensely inflamed by French colonization which swooped in and decided who got to be star-bellied sneetches.

As an Indian I would point out we as a nation still don’t grasp that Hitler did anything wrong, have a caste system (only as weak as it is because of the British), and really at the end of the day are more powerful than England culturally, demographically, and militarily.
