Yeah. This place is too real. I bought a house here.

Yeah, I kind of gave him the side eye at that "politically correct" comment. When comedians and people in the public eye complain about that, all they mean is now there is this thing called the internet and if they say something thoughtless and try to punch down with their comedy instead of up, people will talk about…

Sigh. This is very sad. After the post yesterday that covered her apology, I'm hesitant to say anything else, lest I come off as victim blaming. She doesn't owe anyone an explanation but it's hard to listen to the one she's giving without feeling really terrible for her. Plenty of people have stayed out of the…

Yes. What should he have been named? Cooper or Tanner or some weird occupational shit like that?

Because talking to women means harassing them? Interesting.

IDK. Her image kind of bugs me because she's one of those actors who claims she wants to have a serious career and she doesn't care about being famous but she then turns around and agrees to be the face of Balenciaga. Because that helps her "craft" or something? She's an actress who plays the fame game and pretends…

No one held a gun to his head and insisted he be interviewed. He chose to do this interview. I guess I don't have to think about how a decent person would've answered this question because a decent person wouldn't have done this interview in the first place.

I guess it's hard living in a world where feminism has become another method by which a woman can prove she's fuckable. Then again, I'm not a huge fan of the whole "sex positive" feminism.

Kara, thank you for your coverage of this. We all knew this was coming on some level. But it's hard waking up in a powerful, rich, nation, built on the backs of my ancestors and people who looked like me, and receiving yet another confirmation that peace and justice still don't exist for me and people who look like…

THIS. Feminism isn't just beliefs. It's activism. Feminists should find ways of acting on the belief that men and women are equal by working towards a world where they're treated more fairly.

While I feel the influx of young women in the public eye calling themselves feminists is overall a good thing, it's unfortunate that a lot of them have very, very elementary definitions of feminism. A lot of them seem to advocate for choice feminism or trickle-down feminism. They want every choice they as individuals…

No one (at least in this post) is saying it's her fault. Most people are asking if she's one of the individuals who have enabled his behavior, even if it meant turning her head the other way. If you've read the some of the victims's accounts of their assaults, it seems like quite a few people on his team knew he…

Which means Bill Cosby gets to rape all the women he can get alone? Come on. Marriage is not some sacred union that allows one party to do whatever the hell he or she wants while the other stands by. She doesn't have to respond to these allegations but I'll be damned if people don't examine why someone stands by when…

"But passing negative judgment on the actions of a celebrity's partner—who did nothing wrong..."

THIS. Feminism at its best (in my opinion) isn't about allow women into the patriarchal, capitalist societal structure, it's about overturning it for something more equitable for all.

An important one that tells a lot about the company culture but can be tricky to ask: Where do most employees eat lunch? If the answer is at their desk, over their keyboards while plugging away at a spreadsheet, that's not good. It means the office culture dictates that people can't stop for 20-30 minutes to eat a…

I did an AmeriCorps year where I worked as a financial counselor for low-income individuals. Even though my dad raised me to be frugal, seeing how quickly people ended up in dire financial straits because they were living within their means but didn't have a safety net once things took a turn taught me the importance…

THIS. This is so important. I got a small raise a few months ago and while one part of my brain wanted to go on a shopping spree, I immediately bumped up the amount that automatically goes into my savings account by the same percent as the raise I got so I wouldn't even miss it.

I get really sick of artists who insist they have creative control over every single thing they do and then throw their hands up and say "I had NO IDEA something so offensive was done". Wait, what? You can't be in creative control over everything and then use ignorance to get away with really effed up decisions.

THIS. Long-term relationships take work and involve cultivating and nurturing them. Yes, if someone is a fundamental mis-match for you, that's a dealbreaker, but if you really are matched well and love and care about someone, you don't put yourself in situations where you'll divest some of your feelings for them.…
