Ack, now I’m a little nervous about watching it with my husband. He’s expressed interest in watching it with me, but he also knows how much I love the book and so maybe he’s just trying to be supportive and maybe he won’t actually like it or get it? He’s a really awesome feminist and is typically good about listening…

I first came across the book while perusing my mom’s collection as a pervy little adolescent, hoping for something titillating. I started skimming and came to the first Ceremony and was like, “Score! Sex scene!” then I read it and was absolutely horrified and ashamed of myself. Then I read the whole thing and was…
His campaign and presidency are erased from the collective consciousness. Trump remembers it all, but no one believes him. We just remember him as that tacky reality show host, and think the poor old fool has lost his mind when he keeps tweeting about how he used to be president and it was bigly tremendous. The Trump…
I had a Jessica McClintock dress too! It was strapless and deep purple and I felt SO sophisticated in it.

I’m having a really hard time moving past the “BUT HE KILLED HAN” thing, but I will say, the baby scene was 100% the best part of the whole movie.
But he also goes after David Duke on Twitter, so he kind of has my heart. (In all honesty, Evans and Hemsworth is a pretty tight race with frequent changes on the leader board.)
The idea that he can’t relate because it’s not about someone who reflects his experience is really telling about his level/lack of empathy. Like dude, movies about dudes can resonate with me, because I’m not so self-centered that I need to see myself in the protagonist every single time. But, that’s something women…
Last night I was telling my husband how the more I learn about Chris Pratt, the less I like him, and he said “The further he gets away from Andy Dwyer, the worse he gets.” It’s totally true— it was never Chris Pratt, it was beautiful, chubby, human-puppy hybrid Andy Dwyer I loved. Chris Pratt looks and sounds more…
The films are also, pretty good about having both male and female characters be badass.
I wanted to go, but we have family in town for Easter. There was supposed to be a rally in Baltimore and I thought maybe I could get away for a few hours to go to that, but then it turned out organizers couldn’t secure permits, so instead they planned to bus the Baltimore group down to DC. Which, cool, but I couldn’t…
Terrible show, but man she could rock the hell out of a pixie cut.
I watched a few episodes of S4 and had to take a break after the branding— it was just so gruesome. During that time I was spoiled about Poussey, and that made me not want to go back and watch it, because she’s my favorite and I’m not sure I can handle it. But I am intrigued by this teaser, so I may have to try to…
He’s a great choice. I haven’t been watching The Daily Show too much lately (I’m trying to avoid political stuff that will make me angry right before bed) but Minhaj had a great interview with Phoebe Robinson on her Sooo Many White Guys podcast. I recommend giving it a listen (and the whole podcast).
Those are all I wear—I have the same suit in a couple different patterns. I found a style that makes me feel ok about myself, and I’m sticking to it.
I totally don’t understand that characterization of Rachel either. I thought they were great together, and she was a well-written character with depth and personality. I hope she pops back up in season 2.
If you like British shows, try Luther (Idris Elba) and The Fall (Gillian Anderson). Netflix has a lot of good stuff from other countries that I’d never see otherwise.
I wish Nora or Charlie had done the interview, they’re usually tougher. Gale’s there to do the softball human interest stuff. I imagine Ivanka’s people probably only agreed to the interview if it was with Gayle for precisely that reason.
