She is rarely candid anymore. It takes a skilled interviewer to get anything out of her, and having fans submit questions is probably the safest, laziest method of interview there is. If they really wanted it to be interesting, they would have foregone advertising elsewhere and thrown her to the Creepshots trolls and…

On what planet is a career spanning 30 years and being the highest-selling female solo artist of all time "nothing to back it up"? Because I would like to go there, and become wildly accomplished, just like you.

Those accounts are hours old because they were created by fans for M's AMA. She answered three fans that I know personally (two from tumblr and one from Facebook). Madonna fans are not really active on Reddit, so her AMA prompted a migration over from our usual hangouts, which are private FB groups, a handful of…

Yep!

Is she back on? She stopped posting and sent a "goodnight" message earlier. I was at work for most of it, but my wife capped a lot of the good ones, like her desert island answer and her advice on the best use for hydrangeas.
Edit: NM, her farewell is posted at the top of the page, I was in the wrong view. She's…

Sporadic me, mostly Madonna, recipes, art nouveau and Starkid: Http://kungfulola.tumblr.com

I met him in person as well, and it was a transcendent experience. It was the single most tender, sweet, affirming interaction I have ever had with a man, and as a short, chubby uggo of a woman, it will probably remain that way until I die. He will always have my gratitude and loyalty.

I once heard an expert on spoken language talk on the radio about how in the USA, where fry is mostly associated with teenage girls, using vocal fry hurts people's credibility, but in the UK, where it is used by older white men, it's perceived as conveying authority. GEE WHATTA MYSTERY LET'S GET SHERLOCK HOLMES RIGHT…

Maybe her Blackberry was the only device she had that could access in Web. Her desperation to get it back shows that it was a lifeline for her, and she wasn't able to think rationally about what to do about the theft.

YES. Many times have I yelled, "Les trottoirs sont pour les pietons, asti!" At some fixed-gear hipster's skinny-jean/prairie dress-clad ass. Rawr.

So.... Has she stopped denying the existence of male privilege yet? I'm not about to take a WOC to task for saying she's not a feminist, but denying you're a feminist because you "don't think anyone should get special attention in the fight for rights" just kills the love, for me. Like when Madonna said "I'm not a…

I suppose you could argue that if everything is foreshadowing, nothing is.

"Suddenly" gay? Uh, Doppelgangland? :p

Always lovely to hear from thoughtful people of integrity.

As someone pointed out in another thread, her smartphone probably had passwords and other sensitive info on it. They could have continued to victimize and rob her if she'd left the phone with them. Some choices have consequences so dire, they're not really a choice at all. This is where the term "coercion" is…

Since you are a person who has had the same steady job for over a decade, you have little to nothing in common with most of the non-unionized working poor in North America. Your experience is not really relevant when discussing the realities of trying to find and keep employment in this market. Sorry to be harsh about…

Someone who hasn't molested kids in 40 years.... DID stop molesting kids.

The only place I've seen anyone point out the terrifying implications of Google Glass is Shakesville. I wish more people were talking about it. Sane people.

Because they find the taboo act of violating women's privacy sexually stimulating. Or, they just see all women at all times as sexual objects to be used for their gratification, even when they are in a nonsexual ,innocuous milieu.

I love you.
