Someday, someone will write the Wide Sargasso Sea version of Tiffany Trump's story.

It's perfectly possible for several things to be happening here at once. Dunham makes racist assumptions (and doesn't seem to realize or acknowledge it) *and* Dunham is insecure because of all the crap around women and body image.

Misaimed Edwyn Collins fandom?

"…let us all know whatever any of us can do that will help you the most right now."

Blindspot was renewed for a full second season.

There's a fine line between "comic strip" and "polemic enlivened with marginal drawing or clip art."
