My boyfriend, Edgar Ramirez, gave a speech on feminism at the United Nations last week. He is super woke and super bae. I humbly submit his candidacy to this list.

ugh, these boys.

THIS! They had no problem eviscerating Palin but you show them Trump and all of a sudden he’s a smart guy. Nope he had money in a system that benefits the rich. He’d have to have a drooling idiot to not make money with the 14 mill he got from daddy. As it is his stupidity lost him a great deal of money he should have…

Why the fuck are they doing Weekend Update if they have no teeth to criticize people? JFC to compare Donald Trump to Hillary Clinton’s intelligence is such a fucking insult, and I’m pretty close to saying it’s just flat-out sexist. If Donald Trump were a woman people would call her a stupid bitch and dismiss her…

Please don’t denigrate Satan like this.

I’m seeing an awful lot of people online this morning on various news sites commenting on the Kim story saying “they should have killed her.” or “too bad she survived, because she’s a whore.”

Amen. This?

Oh, I think it has everything to do with Ferrante being a woman — a woman writer who doesn’t play the game the way male journalists, critics and academics think she should, and doesn’t even try to sugar-coat her disdain for it. A woman, who to add insult to injury, has become an international success with four novels…

So many feels.

Yeah, those covers are honestly what has kept me from reading. Time I got over it.

I agree. The entire article seems a lot less interested in literature than in revealing Ferrante’s Jewish background (while suggesting there’s something wrong with her “passing” as a normal Italian woman). Of course, “exposing” Jews in the media is a favorite pastime of antisemites to this day.

There is a weird undercurrent of xenophobia and anti-Semitism in this unveiling of Elena Ferrante’s identity. As if the author’s mother being German Jewish disqualifies her from being Italian or writing about Italian characters.

I really hate this idea that supporting an individual’s work entitles you to access into their identity and private lives, or that being successful means that a person owes the world at large information about themselves.

There’s a distinction between wanting your art to receive attention/appreciation and yourself to receive attention/appreciation. It’s cruel to insist that every person who wants their expression to be heard must also open up themselves, even against their own wishes. It’s not necessary.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for Shade Court. I’ve learned so much from you and Miss Dorian Corey. I sometimes participate on a college football themed website for my favorite team. I’m a ladyperson. One commenter mentioned the former coach “throwing shade” at someone and I felt well-equipped to step in and provide…

I saw Desperation Pretzel open for Bad Brains at the 9:30 Club.
