Hey, look, everybody, Lauren Gussis is on Jezebel!

I tell ya’, as much as I love Moviepass, it might be worth it for it to end just so I never ever have to hear some scholar tell me exactly what is wrong with Moviepass’ business model.

At first he’s holding the tail to keep it out of his face, but after a while it seems to me that he’s trying to discreetly keep the cat from showing the world its butthole. As someone whose cat likes to make an appearance during video conferences, I am well aware of this struggle.

the best part of this is that he doesn’t just keep talking perfectly normally without laughing or excusing the cat, it’s that he doesn’t even attempt to remove the cat! most people would carefully pick up the kitteh and put her on the floor but he just nonchalantly holds her tail out of his face & continues.

depends what the job is for.

When this happens on the news, it’s cute. When it happened to me at a job interview via Skype? No callback, baby.

My SIL is an artist and did this picture of my two cats. 

OMG, THERE’S TWO OF THEM.

I miss my shoulder-mounted kitty. She’d dangle her legs off my shoulders until inevitably her ass would start sliding off. Then, in typical cat fashion, she’d dig her back claws into my flesh, scale back up my body & flop over again. This process would repeat until she got sick of it or until I lost too much blood to…

Fun fact: Cat’s will NOT be ignored.

God, BDC is one of those films I saw as a much younger me and it stuck with me. Wonder why.

The director of Boys Don’t Cry certainly did not view Brandon as a woman but as a man. If you watch the film that is very clear. 

This criticism is... off. I suppose biology also could’ve driven home the point by making Brandon Teena AMAB. Trans men, by definition, are AFAB. The difference between a trans man and a “woman dressing up like a boy” is strictly interior to the individual. It’s not visible to the human eye. It’s oddly self-defeating…

From what I understand, Brandon had not done any hormone treatment. Trans men that are pre-hormones, or elect to not take hormones live with more vulnerability. The more androgynous your features, like Swank, the more you can read ‘male’, but there is still a fragility to those that, like Brandon, are living ‘stealth’.…

At the time (I’m old), seeing a beautiful actress convincingly portray the look, mannerisms, and speech of a young man helped me understand how the people around Brandon would not have questioned his sex immediately (disclaimer: in the 90's I also thought that trans = surgery, because I was ignorant). Today, I see how …

Because they, like Brandon’s rapists/murderers, saw his genitalia as an essential part of his being.

“they were terrified that my sister and I were going to have sex while we lived at home”

Lol, dude, I am not about to argue the minutiae of this particular myth. The bible specifically supports slavery, rape, genocide, and human sacrifice. It is a horrific book and no one should look to it for moral guidance, period.

THIS.
