When my teenaged boys were babies, back in the early days of Internet Complaining (1997—2003), things were different. What changed between now and then was not an increase in germs or a bend in the physical boundaries of airplanes, but a rise in the paranoia around flying and the increasingly infuriating experience…

This is one of the best mic drops I’ve ever read.

Thank you: “The problem isn’t that this episode included a rape, but that it did so in the service of bad storytelling. It told the audience nothing that wasn’t already known, and it didn’t advance any plot lines beyond where they already were.”

What has five hands and is that conflicted?

One of the main points of this article was that not very long ago, women WERE obligated to do domestic work because they were women, and they weren’t allowed to do anything else. Have fun with your bread.

I’m not sure why some feminists feel the need to mock domestic things like ironing, cooking, baking, etc.

A glass to that.

I will never understand how feminists can *not* be angry. This anger that permeates feminism is absolutely justified, and since women are currently losing ground and gains are being unmade, I would expect the least we can do is understand why. At which point does being a second-class citizen become something we should…

Your mum sounds rad as hell. Please thank her for the work she and other women did to make things easier and fairer for my generation.

If politicians count, I used to briefly work for a canvassing company(shit job, shit pay)and we all got a free ticket to a Democrat Party fundraiser headlined by Howard Dean like ‘07 when he was head of the DNC. At the time everyday before going out to canvas we’d all put are hands in the the circle and then break…

So it didn’t happen to me. It happened to my older sister. She was a teen during the 80s and is obsessed with Duran Duran. Heck, girl went to a DD concert alone and 7 months pregnant with twins. This has been her favorite band for 30 years.

No Harrison Ford is a prick. I stole bread from his breadbasket on my way out of a restaurant on purpose. He fucking deserved it.

made a burner account cos i had to tell this story:

a couple of years ago, a friend and i were WASTED at a bar for some coworker of hers’ birthday party. i didn’t know the person whose party it was (like i said, we were hammered), but we did manage to enough to notice kanye west and jay z among the attendees. the…

He wasn’t a dick or anything, but I was once walking near Seth Meyers in the same direction and he kept looking back at me all panic-stricken like I was stalking him or something.

i was with my family seeing west side story on broadway, and tom and rita hanks and their kids (?) sat next to us. a league of their own is my absolute favorite movie, and i was flipping a shit. my dad leaned over and said, “excuse me mr hanks, a league of their own is my daughter’s absolute favorite movie and it’s…

Ahahaha making a throw away account because my friends definitely know this story. When I was a senior in high school, I was really into the poet Adrienne Rich. Which kind of tells you all you need to know about the type of person I was at that point in my life. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrienne_… for the…

Harrison Ford once refused to give me candy on Halloween. Probably entirely justifiable that he wouldn’t be down to open his door and talk to a zillion random people trick-or-treating, but at as a 9 year old I took it pretty hard.

Do politicians count? Tom Tancredo, former Congressman from Colorado who ran for president in 2008 got snippy with me in a parking lot outside a presidential debate in NH. All the candidates had room assigned to them where they could get ready the debate. He asked me for directions to the building. I (recognized him…

So this isn’t really the celebrity being a dick, but I love this story. When I was studying abroad in Spain in 2007, Superbad had just come out the summer before, and it was opening in Spain in October. McLovin and Jonah Hill were at a club that my friend and I were going to for her birthday; we were leaving for…

At a Clap Your Hands Say Yeah! NYE show years ago, John Krasinski was drunk af and pushed me out of the way while trying to rush the stage. I fell into my friend as he bulldozed through everyone.
