I should have such panache.

I watched a security agent demand that an elderly man in a wheelchair get up and put his colostomy bag through the x-ray machine.
The administrative part of the TSA is a federal agency, thanks to the GOP, t TSA workers can be privately contracted, so they don’t have to have the 120 hours required training and classroom work TSA officials have. At SFO a screener makes $34,000/year, which is 35% higher than screeners at other airports.
I got to meet Edith Head many many years ago. We got to hear a short lecture, have some champagne, and, so long as the champagne was left in the other room, get a close look at her movie costumes. Then I got to see them again a few years ago at an exhibit in LA.
I loathe her books. She writes very badly about all the problems of a selfish, rich, white lady who leaves her husband,.
When Michael Chabon described one of his characters in his much vaunted Kavalier and Clay as having “exothermic eyes,” I stopped paying attention and picked up a Denise Mina mystery to get the stink of that description out of my brain.
I am very excited to share my personal experiences in life and how to overcome obstacles. I hope that my words will connect with those who need some guidance when [or] if they are in a tough place.
Project Runway is nothing like real design houses. Real houses pay cutters and seamstresses for their skill, they buy expensive fabrics, thread and notions. $10,000 for a dress is not beyond imagination.
Great, now Taylor Swift has to explain why Tom Hiddleston is busy making another terrible movie so can’t be there to talk about important things like how many hours they work out, being preternaturally thin, and, you know, ideas and stuff vapid, rich, upper class white people have to deal with while being very, very…
Correction here:
I must be an outlier, but publishing photos of celebrities when they’re not at a public event creeps me out. I don’t know these people, will never know these people, they have no part of my life, so taking photos is icky invasive and really sad.
The single best reason to speed up screening is that it creates a very obvious target: the security lines.
Cargo pants and Croakies? No. No. No.
I’m curious about why her doctor sent her to Colorado. I’m pretty sure there is a late term provider in Philadelphia, one in Orlando, and there used to be one in upstate NY and one in New Hampshire. Of course, who know what clinics anti-life people have managed to shut down in the last few years.
You have to wait for the washing machine to be delivered, it has to be hooked up to plumbing, you have to do three washes with vinegar before using it.
None of those jobs use the body for an intimate act, one that’s part of a personal relationship. Sex is not boxing. Sex is not dance. Sex is not singing. To equate them is to completely ignore the sex in sex work.
It’s not just history departments. Even English departments are filled with mysogynists. At least half the professors made the argument that women were simply not good writers, that Jane Austen was just a “domestic” writer, and because she wrote about small towns and families was inherently less important than men who…
Try Happy Valley. Great police procedural that’s only partially a police procedural. One of the best first episodes ever.
“We” as in the public, in our public forums. It is not possible to separate sex work from the body. Without the body there is no sex. Saying that sex isn’t related to and can be separated from the body is the artificial distinction I’m talking about. That very disengagement sets us off talking about the wrong things.
