This.

Probably more like give her magical adventures because she has a pretty dress that will lend itself first towards fantastic imaginative play, and then learning more about the life of the real person the doll represents and maybe getting into art or learning about Kahlo’s politics or Mexican culture.

The bill is regarding unfair labor practices . . . getting free labor by “hiring” people without proper work authorizations and then conveniently getting “raided” instead of paying them for their work.

Oh absolutely. And if I ended up moving back to the USA, the state of choice would indeed be California, and not just because it’s my home state. Because all those rejects, hippies, misfits, the great variety of internal and international immigrants . . . the diversity of people from many different ethnic backgrounds…

What everybody has already said about the prosperity, and it working and proving them wrong (even taking into account the very real problems and dysfunctions the state has). . . and on top of it, California is filled with the people those states rejected, pushed out, and tried to crush. It’s been the destination for…

Janney’s performance in I Tonya is scary good. Subtle as well as riveting, and more embodiment than impression.

On the left, a bunch of trash; on the right, things with a useful function that make the world a less trash-covered place.

Third person in the role, and Hope Hicks looked to be angling for her job. Not so sure about that.

Before she got this visa she was working as a “model” while on a tourist visa. She totally had a visa under false pretences. And now she’s aiding and abetting the worst anti-immigrant racism.

Theoretically you can be denaturalized if you falsified or concealed relevant facts, or if you’re a member of a subversive group like the Nazi party. It’s rare to the point that I believe it’s been used for people who lied about being Nazi concentration camp guards.

The folks over at Jez at least regarding sexual harassment and abuse situations had done proper investigative journalism but while they had sources they had nobody willing to come forward publicly. It’s a shitty positon to be in, and some of the decisions they made were like Buzzfeed’s decision with the Steele Memo,…

I was actually going to just say “shitty”, but they really are capable of research.

One of the downsides about moving out of the country is the only way I’ll get Girl Scout cookies is in a care package, and I can almost guarantee my mom will forget.

They don’t hold up to freshly baked shortbread, but I can see the appeal.

I don’t think I’d watch it again, but I felt like it was worth watching just to see Jennifer Jason Leigh act a cast full of very charismatic actors right off the screen. That was a damn triumph of a performance.

It’s fair to call white people out for resting on privilege and ignoring injustice.

They’ve explicitely talked about how they are inspired by #blacklivesmatter. They’re already trying to signal boost for people and movements that don’t have the privilege of the megaphone that whitness and affluence gives them. . .

The allegations I saw are that *gasp* The Shape of Water uses the same classic tropes as Let Me Hear You Whisper. Like . . . dancing with a mop . . . which hasn’t ever been done before in, say, the Cinderella ballet, or by Gene Kelly or anything . . . or escaping hidden in the laundry cart . . . which never happened…

A twitter review I read said they stopped counting at 3 rape scenes.

Whatever people, just if you’re going to wear leggings as pants make sure they’re truly opaque. I don’t want to see your crack or your underwear pattern through your “pants”, and I’m pretty sure you don’t want me to see your crack either. You can be comfy without letting me see your leopard print thong through your…
