Even in the worst-case scenario, at least we’ll vent our spleens about it.

Regardless if the show is a bust or not, don’t worry Drew, I’ve got your back!

If I can stomach the gore, I’ll watch a few episodes to see if it has any heart.

Whether her character will liver die, I hope the show does well.

Years ago when I was attempting to be sober I was renting a room in an old lady’s house, and I didn’t have shit. No computer, no tv, nothing. So, like the olden days, I read a shit ton. BUT I also didn’t have a car so getting to the library regularly was difficult, and I had a really shitty job so ordering new books…

This is a painful reminder that a (formerly) close friend unfriended me on Facebook and in life, in a very dramatic fashion, after I snarked on the trailer for the first one.

Yay! Misogynistic, abusive escapism using source material that sounds like a fifth grader wrote it. Truly a film for our times.

I think you mean the “Exxon-Mobil Red Bull Why America is Awesome” textbooks of the future.

About the “we age, we’re forgotten” part - I read a piece today about co-living setups designed by and for older women. You get your own space and can come and go as you please, but there are also workshops, common areas, that kind of thing. There was a section about how one woman had surgery - her daughter came up…

I don’t coddle men. I flat out tell them this, frequently, in response to whatever wheedling bullshit they try to pull. Love the look of disbelief on their faces.

We were watching an old episode of GoT where this was basically happening to Cersei for the second time and my Trump-supporting mother leaned over and said, “Aren’t you glad the world isn’t like this anymore?”

This was powerful and eloquent and touched a nerve.

I just finished The Handmaid’s Tale last night and that book meshes with that sentence so fucking well.

It would be a drastically better world for women if famous men were the only ones who felt free to sexually assault women (and the only ones who could be almost guaranteed no consequences when they do). Men’s bodies are sacrosanct. Women’s bodies are public property.

And woe betide any woman who refuses to go gently (or quietly, for that matter) into that good night.

Madeleine Davies, always my favorite.

You’ve accurately described the day to day humiliation of living inside a woman’s body. The good men are still trying to force us to believe we’ll be ok, which feels like an even greater assault than those actively assaulting us.
