Hot damn if Beyonce wasn’t about 10 years too late to the marching band concept.

Madonna did the marching band motif back in 2012 during her Super Bowl Halftime show. I doubt Beyoncé even thought about that when planning her (genius) Homecoming set/motif. And I seriously doubt Swift was trying to one-up Lady Bey with this performance. People need to stop pitting female performers against each…

From the Mariah Smith Twitter thread:

I’m not blaming the victims! I’m blaming the Dean who was like “yeah we’ve received complaints but I can’t do anything about it.” I’m sorry, what??

I mean, that’s the narrative we’ve been fed, right? Charles is the villain, and Diana’s his victim, to the extent that even less favorable truths about Diana are dismissed as slander and sleight of hand machinated by the Crown. The honest picture of a marriage will almost always be messier and more balanced than that. 

Oh, no no! Diana had a half dozen known extramarital lovers, long before Charles’ infidelity was public knowledge. She discovered the affair during the engagement —she found a bracelet in a gift box which was intended for Camilla, and Camilla (brazenly? tackily? shockingly?*) invited her over one afternoon for tea and…

Enjoying our three day weekends? 

Might makes right, history is written by the victors, and all of that. That’s why I specifically used Henry VII as my example because he’s technically a usurper. He had very little claim to the throne, other than being a distant relative who married Edward IV’s daughter. The people accepted him though because he depose…

As long as Catherine doesn’t take a series of unsuitable lovers, reveal her heartache to Andrew Morton for a book or sit for any interviews where she coyly gazes out from under a fringe while she declares George would be a better king, I think it unlikely they will divorce.

Daenerys would be a trash queen. She’s unarguably a good conqueror, but she can’t rule — look what happened with the Sons of the Harpy in Mereen and her own inability to hold Yunkai or Astapor, the way she burned supplies in battle while bringing none of her own to Winterfell, the way she leads with threats rather…

Am I less a feminist because I think Daenerys is the epitome of clueless liberal white privilege, and has little regard for anyone other than herself?

Diana cheated, herself. Perhaps it was retaliation cheating, but I get tired of the deification of her and the reciprocal vilification of Charles. I’m not saying she wasn’t a good woman, but she also had her own interests in mind a lot of the time leading up to the divorce. 

I’m #TeamCambridge on this one. If this affair happened, it was 1-2 years ago according to reports. To judge by photos, they are quite unified. Who knows what the truth is; It’s obvious they’ve decided to move forward and I wish them the best. Plenty of marriages (including the rock-solid union at the head of the…

And if he truly respected the MeToo movement and took responsibility for his actions, he would not be running.

I’m really disappointed that Biden only decided to apologize to Hill now that he’s facing criticism about his treatment of women (and running for president again, of course). If he really felt he’d done anything wrong, he should have done that years and years ago. If I were Hill, I would have rolled my eyes so hard…

Family courts are extremely biased towards fathers, who even when abusive get custody in most cases:

Maybe she didn’t understand because when the indictments were announced, it was not accompanied by random cheesy music that signaled that a lesson was a-coming.

Gee, it’s almost like actions have consequences!

Did you just write a 4,500 word story about how a young woman who has become a figurehead for the resistance for other young women once wrote some bitchy anonymous emails when she was 23?
