So she says, but there is no way she could have afforded that house as a hotel manager, single parent, who eats out everyday. At the very least she had a trust fund, if she didn’t outright ask them for money. She acts like she did it all on her own, but she really didn’t.

And like her mother, she likes to believe that she earned everything. We all know Lorelai’s parents payed at least the downpayment on her house in Stars Hollow, right?

Kentucky sells hard liquor, wine, and beer. Which is odd since we have really weird liquor laws. Can’t buy wine or liquor in the grocery store (only beer), can pick up all three at the CVS.

School is one of the few safe places for young students to evaluate and experiment with their identity and ideals. This is enraging.

But in a state that has made abortion nearly inaccessible many women don’t have options.

I propose we have a national read-in of a Handmaid’s Tale.

Indiana has already jailed a woman for self-inducing an abortion. This is where we’re headed as it becomes harder for women to get abortions. This is where we’re headed when women have to retreat to back alleys.

Oh my god, why are you all attacking this person? They aren’t even arguing against abortion, just expressing sympathy for people who have miscarriages. This shit is complicated and the black and white debate between pro-choice and pro-life has made it fucking impossible for us to talk about the complications of giving…

I haven’t seen Requiem for a Dream, but I don’t think so really. The story is about whether or not someone who takes pleasure from acts of physical and sexual violence can ever be “cured”. And if they can be cured, if they are merely able to resist that behavior, does that mean they’re better? It’s science fiction and…

I haven’t read the book but that’s the scene I’m thinking about.

When I watched Clockwork Orange in high school I thought it was the first truly violent film I’d ever seen. It felt so real to me, particularly because of how gleeful Alex and his droogs are. The lighthearted music paired with the rape scenes made it even more horrific to me and more specifically made Alex’s…

I hate people who make like Rand Paul for a second.

She’s the best and she makes good Twitter.

You should see the rants Gail Simone has on Twitter about loving Luke over Han Solo. It’s amazing.

Steven Universe is absolutely incredible. I’ve never seen a show that deals with themes like consent, trauma, abuse, nontraditional families, non-binary love, and complex friendships in a way that both young people and adults can understand. Garnet’s explanation of her future vision is the most perfect description…

There’s a lot of information but who is teaching people how to weed through and understand that information? The answer is librarians, give us full time positions and we’ll start the revolution. Also access to technology.

That’s what I thought when Kentucky had its own version of the Trump surprise last year in electing our new governor. Surely when people in our state saw the effects of their voter apathy or voting for a tea party loon, they would see the error of their ways. Nope. On Tuesday they doubled down and flipped the house to…

I can’t describe how much it hurts to potentially see his entire legacy siphoned away over the next few years. I looked at pictures from 2008 and my friends and I look so young and hopeful.

My mom told me he same thing. It was the only time she’d ever voted 3rd party and she’s never forgiven herself.

But the frozen eggplant cutlets!
