Former Peace Corps volunteer here. If your friend acted like she literally built everything herself then yeah, she sucks. If you hated on her for setting up schools (probably using local laborers) then you’re the shitty person.

The fact that we’re applauding teenagers for asking hard questions goes to show that the adult journalists have not been asking hard questions for years.

Additionally - in things like yoga, you need to see the body better to make sure you’re doing the positions well. I’m taking an adult beginner ballet class and the instructor told us to wear leotards or tight workout pants because she needs to see how our body looks in the positions.

Women and gender-fluid people run the show, and are his bosses, and are powerful in the context of this show. Why are they not responsible for the environment in which victims could complain, as much as Jeffrey Tambor is?

Every damned industry in the US needs to stop the secrecy that surrounds pay. Transparency will greatly diminish disparity. If they are not hiding something shady then tell us how much our co-workers make. If there is a good reason that person A makes significantly less than person B then open up the damned books as…

This is a good first step.

Did you actually read what Greer wrote?

Agreed. Should have happened years ago. But a vast improvement nonetheless. Still, I would have advised him to go full Mark Strong. Damn that man has a beautiful bald head.

I remember when people found out about Rock Hudson dying from AIDS. The casual homophobic jokes because “ha ha,Rock Hudson was gay”all decency easily abandoned. And that poor kid Ryan White, treated as a pariah in Kokomo, that brave boy with his raspy sick voice would speak so eloquently on why he wanted to go to…

“Hey listen, the world is falling apart, what’s a lip?” Jane Fonda is a gift! I can’t wait for Grace & Frankie to return this week. So so good.
