Omg, it was sublime. That show is still haunting me.

Ha, I was just debating whether I wanted to jump in and say the same thing and saw this. Agreed, I felt like I could hear it being pitched while I was watching it.

What I hate is that we’re so outside of nature that we choose the most quiet, introspective and hibernatey time of the year to have this month long burst of activity. It’s friggin manic. Yes, its a pagan holiday, but up until the winter solstice they were hunkered down and trying not to freeze. Then they were just cele…

This is why he scares me more than Trump...

That’s a real shame. Just want to clarify as someone who actually read her book Slow Sex when it came out that it was never about having a 15 minute orgasm and it was actually about avoiding orgasm and maintaining intimate connection with one’s partner. The idea of a sexual activity that was intentionally slow and…

This is one of my favorite books. That is all.

Me too! It’s nice to not have to hold my nose for once :)

Man, really bummed about the lack of Severence awards. It’s one of the few shows I’ve watched twice that not only held up but deepened the second viewing.

Believe it or not? I know we Americans tend to be a little out of the loop when it comes to being aware of other culture’s history (or being honest about our own) but the history between the Irish and the English is pretty...intense. And this has been the case in recent decades even. Do you remember the 90s?

Exactly!

Just want to give some credit to Alisa Vitti, a pro-science person and feminist whose take on exercising differently throughout the menstrual cycle they are stealing and rebranding in this regressive way. Evie and 28 sounds pretty horrific but I think it’s pretty valid to encourage women and people who menstruate to…

While I 100% believe there are a bunch of neckbeards melting down over this (cause, c’mon, look at this country), just wanna also throw in a plug to not trust Amazon too much here, either. They sunk a terrifying amount of money into this and, at least in my humble opinion- ymmv of course- it just ain’t that good. It…

Yes, this is really frigging worrisome. Even if the trolliest trolls are out and about, Amazon- a huge and documentably unethical corporation- should not have the capacity to do this. They sunk a ton of money on this thing and have figured out an incredibly (and unethical) way to distract decent people who want to be…

This, exactly. I just tried to watch it, and in my humble and subjective opinion, it rang really friggin’ hollow and DNF-ed. Which is something as someone who loves fantasy and grew up on Tolkien. No issues with anything in terms of diversity, just was stunned that this was such an expensive production and still…

Everywhere I’ve seen seems to say that this will be proposed rather than is something that is actually being enacted. I’d be glad to be wrong about this but the language seems kinda squirrely. The intro paragraph leading up to what you cite says:

I agree on the inconsistencies of Jezebel, but here I do think that both are true. This is life changing for many people *and* for folks (like me) who have a ton of debt from professional school and are on some sort of a Repaye/Paye plan where we watch the balance grow each month, this doesn’t begin to touch it or how…

I know. He’s not wrong...

This is so true

So I checked the White House site, and I might’ve missed it (it’s been a long day!), but it looked like the statement was “to address these concerns and follow through on Congress’ original vision for income-driven repayment, the Department of Education is proposing a rule to do the following...” which makes me think…

Thank you, exactly!
