NOBODY EVER CALLS SEAN HANNITY!!

You know who I really relate to in this clip? Arianne. You can just TELL how much of this bullshit she has to put up with on a regular basis. Like, the hardest part of this video for me to stomach is the way she has to grit her teeth and smile through their vile-ness. She’s clearly like, whatever, just get the fucking…

My husband has keratoconus in both eyes. It does not necessarily mean you will go blind. It has to do with a thinning/bad-shaping of the cornea. Most people who have severe keratoconus undergo a cornea transplant at some point in their lives (which has a very high success rate). My husband is legally blind without…

Crap. I can’t keep up. Which women are we supposed to hate? I should probably make a list. Gimme a break, Jezebel. Beyonce is great. Anne Hathaway is great. Everyone is great. Stop it already. Seriously. Do we seriously have nothing better to do than bully a woman over her innocuous Instagram posts? This is the hill…

Dear Jennifer, you and my best friend have weirdly similar mannerisms. Which means every time I see you on screen, I feel like I’m watching my best friend. You should be flattered because my best friend is one of the most important and beautiful and talented women alive. (Just so you know, my best friend is also…

I also want to point out that Dakota Johnson was fabulous and hilarious in the short-lived Ben and Kate. She has a really great, understated kind of funny that I so appreciated. This movie has a ridiculous premise and the actors seem terribly uncomfortable promoting it but no one can say they didn't cast talented…

Ditto.

Am I the only person who remembers this?

Re: Boy Next Door. This movie follows in the wake of a SLEW of movies about women having sex with students/their friend's sons/teenagers. We can say the point of the movie is to thrill us psychologically or make us uncomfortable or make us think, blahblahblah, but the trailer is cut to make the older female teacher…

I can appreciate your perspective on this. I didn't hit me the way it did you but I think this conversation is still worth having because we're talking about rape culture and its complexity, especially as relative to popular culture. Rape culture gets cut down when people stay aware and find safe places for dialogue.…

Oh, I missed that one! What was the "minimally talented" bit?

I get what you're saying but I think, in this case, Sleeping Beauty feels like a stand-in metaphor for womanhood or innocence or dreams or whatever you want to call it. I mean, the joke is a reminder that there's ugliness underneath the fairy tale. If we think about how many of the survivors who have come forward to…

No one ever looks that happy leaving K-Mart. No. one.

Can we ban people that say "That (dat) ____ tho"? Please say yes.

Lindy, I love you forever and always and you're my favorite but you're wrong. This movie is magic.

That person clearly hasn't read any of Dr. Rebecca Campbell's research on the neurobiology of sexual assault or the changes in forensic interviews. One of her most important contributions to the field: Discovering that the memories of trauma survivors are often re-organized by the brain but that it may be possible…

It was NOT Nordstrom's but that doesn't surprise me, at all...

Yeah, they're definitely NOT changed. I worked in a fitting room for YEARS and they. are. not.

Yeah, I worked for a very popular clothing retailer over a decade ago and the return policy was so relaxed that I had multiple shoppers who returned items that were at least a year old, smelled of detergent, with fading or pilling, got full gift card credit and bought whole new wardrobes. I think that has since…

As a (good) white person, my immediate gut reaction is to want to explain how I'm different and mean good things and don't expect reward for being 'good', etc, etc, etc.
