I really appreciate that! I have been trying to write stories lately about working at a Diner (true stories) that are darkly comical, because that is how I also get through the pain. I used to come home everyday after work at the shelter and it was like “Comedy, stat, or I’m gonna lose my shit.”

I just finished listening to this episode of “Denzel Washington Is The Greatest Actor Of All Time Period,” which brought on Alice Wong of the Disability Visibility Project to discuss “The Bone Collector.” She made a point that smacked me in the face like a 10-pound weight, but I’m sure it’s second-nature to disabled…

Let’s see TDS put on a disabled correspondent. Disabled rights are civil rights. (God, I sound s0-don’t say it- so- don’t say it-special. I can poke fun at myself.)

I was walking down Vine in Hollywood, on my way to Trader Joe’s after a long sweaty day working at a DV shelter in the Valley. I had to wear a back brace because I have scoliosis that was never addressed because I only had insurance on and off as a child. I was painfully aware of how horrible I looked, in pain,…

Yeah, guys, I’m not calling for a White Entertainment Network or a Men’s History Month, OR a straight pride parade, so what’s going on with your shit, guys?

He's being given the Kardashian Retreat Treatment (KRT, trademarked). Step 1: Find vunerable black man. Step 2: Drive him mad or towards drugs. Step 3: Watch implosion and act like concerned wife/concubine/underage sidepiece.

Yep. Not all women have uteri.

OMG this! My threshold for contributing to class is that I thoroughly understand the material AND have something substantial AND novel to add. With guys, they seem to believe they’re blessing the proceedings with the sound of their inane, uninformed fucking voices.

Well, the debate about the usefulness of marriage equality as a political goal has been going on in LGBT communities for decades now. So it’s not like attacks on marriage as an institution are anti-queer. Some might even say that those attacks are distinctly queer.

It’s amazing. I was accused of being an MRA for simply stating that economic issues ARE womens issues and that white feminists are dismissive of the issues us non white women are facing daily.

There are legitimate criticisms to be made of marriage. I’m sorry it bothers you that people make them, but the fact that you’re happy and in a good relationship (congrats!) doesn’t mean the institution should be unquestioned.

No, (I’m assuming you’re Christian here) your privilege is that if you decided to dress in a religious way to go to court, that that “look” would be in line with a favorable reaction from the judge and jury. It’s not a “look” btw, it's his expression of his heightened religious beliefs.

This is a great read on abled bodied actors playing people with disabilities. These awards are so incredibly fucked up.

“You know who has $60 million? Jennifer Lawrence.”

I always feel like I’m overshadowed by the Lauren B.s and the Beccas

Happily, as anyone who lives in Virginia knows, nothing important exists west of 95 anyway

This is the type of solid recruiting of sociopaths that will solidify VA Tech as “The Interstate 81 Ivy”

I wouldn’t say DV is something that only happens to people in poverty. However being poor does limit your options when in an abusive relationship.

Rumor has it Khloe is fond of cocaine, so I imagine there was some amount of partying. There were a few blind items late last year about a famous family’s excommunicated brother/son in a heroin or crack house, and not paying dealers, and everyone assumed it was Rob. I'd say the signs point to yes.

“Eventually” is not acceptable. Every day brings more abuse, misery and death. “Eventually” is bullshit. He’s not cool. Period.
