This... this is some hot garbage, mate.

It was the first one I watched because I was weirdly obsessed with Violet that season. It was really interesting to see how Violet was portrayed in the show as the bitch (in Untucked she mostly kept to herself and didn’t really try to create any drama), whereas Ginger was just constantly saying things to create…

As I said - I think the spirit of the law, the embrace of public secularism, is a good one. As always, it becomes problematic when enforced through the lens of individual and society biases and fears.

Did you watch untucked that season? I though Ginger was a peach until I saw that, she was kind of a shit stirring mean girl:(

Yes, but then that hasn’t been changed since the addition of V-E day... and before that the addition of labour day, which is, like the other Christian holidays, an echo of former pagan holidays (though we call it labour, it was the last day of winter, arrival of spring holiday as far back as Rome), and therefor deeply…

I live in France and one of the things that I think should be mentioned, when we talk about the dress of Christian nuns in this context, is that there is no female equivalent in Islam. All Muslim women are lay women. Buddhist nuns also cover their bodies (though not their heads, in most cases) and I suspect they would…

Can you please enumerate, then? I’ve read through quite a lot of the emails and I’d like not to be blinded by ignorance - but can’t seem to see anything much in the emails myself...

I could give a toss what you think of my political preferences, I’d just prefer you be an honest asshole. You can dance around what you were intimating all you like, but the fact is no one pushed Warren not to run, Warren chose not to run.

Not to be contrarian but that’s not actually what went down. I was pretty involved in the ‘Draft Warren’ movement a few years back, and she more-or-less said that she feels she can do more in the Senate. But she was also pretty candid with what she felt were her shortcomings, in particular that she has not been…

So, true story time. My engagement ring was given to me by the daughter of ‘lalage’, Clive Bell’s mistress. Clive was married to Virginia’s sister at the time. We have loads of her photos from Ham Spray and the Soho house, as well as sketches and other bits and bobs. That’s my Bloomsbury group claim to fame.

Karen Allen is my doppleganger (or I’m hers, whichever makes clear that I feel I am the lesser being. I know my place) and I am so, so thankful for it.

Ok, I’m coming off my Brexit-induced freak out and I’m happy with that. I also would prefer a greater tendency toward pacifism, but I do honestly believe that there are a great many people working in policy and diplomacy to avoid it. I’m surrounded by them and I am loathe to see their work diminished because of its…

“The problem is that we draw from an unbelievably narrow set of ideas about what “intervene” means. There are so many ways to intervene outside of military action, but we don’t talk about them because they don’t serve the U.S.’s immediate financial and business interests, and/or are just unlike tactics that we’re used…

No, I understand what you are asking for. And I do believe that there are ways to talk about it - and I think we do, to the extent that we can. I feel that your comments thus far have painted an overly simplistic picture of the dynamics at play and the challenges involved in what you are advocating - it’s just not as…

When we can talk about it, we do. I’m not trying to be offensive here, but honestly its sounds like you aren’t terribly familiar with the sector. The soft-diplomacy work done through aid is exactly that - soft. It works because it doesn’t air anyone’s dirty laundry. There is a time for political pressure, a time for…

She/someone seems to have tweaked the ending from his original post, but he is one half of Sampo/Wing: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp6eC…

Well, as I said, there is a reason we often don’t advertise these things - Museveni doesn’t want the world to know that we are subsidising education and maternal health in his country because it would make him look weak. If we were to go out and do a bunch of ‘PR’ to toot our horns, we’d loose the access we need to…

“The system is corrupt!! Except caucuses. We like those.”

My friend wrote that!!! He’s the same one who did the Rebel Girl video that went viral. He’s great:)
