GUYS!!!!!!!!!!

In my young, irresponsible days my BFF set me up with an interview for a part-time job. That night I went out partying and never, ahem, made it home. So I showed up late for the interview in my revealing party clothes from the night before, with wet hair, no makeup, etc. I made up a crazy lie about losing my suit…

I was once turned down for a job because I was newly married and they were worried I would get pregnant. :|

Just use conditioner every other day or more. I wash, then condition only the next 2 days.

Every comment section on Gawker/et al lately is an incredibly depressing mix of racism/sexism/general awfulness and I hate everything. Can I have a cute animal thread for the end of the week?

I hope she goes to Men’s Wimbledon next year and annihilates Roger Federer.

I read Fahrenheit 451 a couple years ago again. Man, how prescient! His wife with the earphones in all the time...It’s almost hard to believe there was a time when that wasn’t true.

Me too.

I love him and his love for libraries and his crusty refusal to bow to many modern conveniences (like driving, ha!)

I met him at a reading of some of his stories, when I was the assigned “author wrangler” for the evening. That man was an unrepentant FLIRT. (It was awesomely hilarious.)

I agree. That's why I don't think there should be any big response to the reveal in the movie, or a reveal even. In Rodenberry's Star Trek, it wouldn'tve mattered that he was gay, he would be accepted at first entrance to star fleet.

ha! I mean, it happens, I am sure they are used to it. which is why I usually come prepared. I have a friend who lives in NYC and runs into or meets celebrities and she STILL hasn’t managed to act remotely cool around them. I am a performer so I think I am just extra aware that they are just people. I feel like…

BOOM. The Patriarchy wins again. :)

Like... I don't mean to sound like an asshole, but I just get so annoyed by this behavior because it's not only creepy for the celebs themselves, it ruins it for everyone else. Most people are chill and just want to calmly and casually show their support, but then these but these weirdos have to fuck the entire…

Totally not unrealistic to hope that I win lottery tickets for tomorrow, right? RIGHT?

This. ESPECIALLY in the utopic Star Trek future, why does everyone have to be at the ends of the Kinsey scale? Maybe Sulu is mostly gay, but that one hot chick he experimented with in college had a kid. Or maybe he WANTED a kid, and she was like, I’m game! Non-traditional families people!

Can I hijack this for a moment to state that Nichelle Nichols was is the MF bomb? I am a straight woman, and I think I would flirt with her if I thought I had a ghost of a chance.

Exactly! “Is a happily married gay man” and “had a one night stand with a glamazon” are not mutually exclusive.

I’m going with “Sulu was not closeted, he just didn’t bring his personal life to work.”

This is kinda similar to the whole controversy where Iron man will be a black teenage girl, Captain America’s role is assumed by a black man, Thor is a woman, The Hulk is an Asian teen, etc.
