His writing is great and her acting wonderful.. almost wish I was a Sedaris.. then I recall what David wrote about the fam and nah..! Lol

Sometimes I remember that she and David Sedaris are siblings (and both totally delightful!) and it blows my mind every single time.

I swear I could watch Mimi’s laugh-cry about her exhusband on an hour long loop.

I’m just waiting for a member of the Secret Service to go rogue, because we might as well just have the emperor taken out by the Praetorian Guard and complete our transition from the 20th century to the third.

I’ve never seen such a direct attack on federal workers. First of all, it’s a complete level of disrespect for their professionalism. This administration doesn’t see federal agencies as public service entities that provide services to all Americans, they just exist to serve Trump. I know one department where prior to…

women are allowed to have sexual relationships with men without employment, housing, or legal repercussions being imposed on them by the government

This morning Putin adversary (and chess genius) Garry Kasparov tweeted this perfect take on the Putin/Trump modus operendi (and he’s spot-on)...

he is...but... flume?!? TOM DALEY?! vance joy? ooof there’s so many!!

I’m also someone in the stage world. I don’t love this term—not least because it assumes that rape scenes are the ONLY sexual/intimate scenes that should be choreographed as you would a dance or a fight. A similar role should be filled while working with any sexual encounter.

Thank you for this insight. It’s heartening to hear that the actor in this story was a decent person, at least, even if the director sounds like a shit.

I’d be a little more inclined to the reflection of reality angle if more of it took place off screen, where it could inform characterization without exciting the audience. It seems like premium shows revel in graphic depictions, while network shows and many movies lean toward attempted rape that results in no insights…

As much as I hate that the job has to exist, I’m glad it does. And the walking through and technical aspects being worked out with the crew and actors is HUGE in delineating between “what you need to portray in the context of the scene” and “what is actually happening to you as a person,” for both the assaulter and…

Yeah, for all the problems I have with gratuitous rape scenes in TV and movies, I am glad that these scenes can be handled by a professional to minimize harm. What I fear is that directors and producers will shrug and be like, “Well, we called in the best rape choreographer and did it right!” and therefore excuse…

Yes, who will boys look up to now? It’s not like there are that many powerful male figures in entertainment, especially in the sci-fi realm. WON’T SOMEONE THINK OF THE BOY CHILDREN?!?

None of them know what they’re doing! Lawyer or not, they have no idea about protocol, rules of order, custom, how to get shit done or basic law. It’s like they just thought “oh anybody can be in politics, it’s just like business.”

I just saw a large segment about this with Auntie Rachel, and it is truly a trip to Crazytown. Apparently, part of the problem is that the lawyers Cheeto Hitler was able to hire are not Washington constitutional scholars, since all of the big DC firms bounced him when his people came sniffing around looking for…

Regardless of how you feel about the issue at hand, this article, and some of the commenters, are fundamentally confusing a ‘face veil’ with a hijab. A face veil, featured in Islamic garb such as a niqab or burka, LITERALLY COVERS THE FACE. A hijab or jilbab or khimar leaves the face exposed and the hair covered.
