I was in San Francisco for a meeting today and caught a sizable march down Market. Our whole meeting stood to watch and we were all so happy to see these kids marching and yelling. The United States government better watch the fuck out because these kids are pissed, organized and smart as fuck.

My favorite sign today: “As a black boy I just hope that one day I have as many rights as a gun”

I said it in the other thread on splinter, but the Governor of Washington Jay Inslee walked out with the kids of Ballard High in Seattle today.

To anyone who wants to say that the kids just wanted to skip class, schools in Boston had a snow day and kids went to city hall anyway.

Goddamn I’m proud and humbled by these kids.

I fervently hope that every single person or school administrator who did anything to punish these kids has their actions dragged out into the open and crushed under the weight of public outrage. THIS is what democracy looks like, you cowardly fuckers. (Sorry. Feelin’ a bit testy about this.)

Just fucking WOW

When Winter’s Bone came out, I was impressed by her acting. It’s been all downhill since.

FUCK THE NRA...

Apparently their really is a lid for every pot.

Yeah, I think this is a point that needs further exploration. Like katie_keys said above, everyone is problematic in some way. It’s easier to separate the art from the artist when the artist is dead and can no longer profit from it. However, my favorite movie of many years was The Usual Suspects. Whew, that’s turned…

But Woody Allen isn’t abusing anyone. I don’t like him. I don’t want to watch his films. (Which is lucky, and I think part of the reason the younger generation can condemn him is his films don’t speak to us the way they did past generations. We’re not giving anything up.) But the allegations are he *abused* someone in…

YESSSSSSS!

Judy Blume looks exactly like I imagined she would.

Those posters made me seethe. She might have known. I personally think it’s feasible she didn’t (too high up the food chain) but she wasn’t the abuser and it makes my blood boil when people will find a reason, any reason, to somehow blame women for men’s crimes.

Why exactly is Jezebel promoting the Trump supporter who made the Meryl Streep posters?

Is this the same Lindy Lou who is the top commentator on the featured article from 2009 about the name Jennifer being so vanilla?

The saving grace is that Andy Warhol would have loved this story.
