It drives me mad. On the one hand, you have Western men’s fetish for Asian women and on the other, their complete disdain for Asian men. I have not researched the issue, but it’s so tempting to do it. I’m on the margins of the academic community anyway (because I study a very controversial topic in literature), so…

Yes, I love the trolling of the Satanic Temple. Like you, I too wish I could do that, but, to be honest, I am afraid. There are a lot of crazy people out there, and I don’t mean Satanists :) But maybe you can pass other things which, if not challenging religion, would help children start asking relevant questions.…

Hey, smart kids!

Yes, I get you. We were among the lucky few, I guess. My parents were Eastern Orthodox turned communists :) (I mean everyone in my country was in the same position; they were raised Christians, but communism was very much anti-religious). So, while we celebrated Christmas and Easter and many religious holidays, we…

I’m not an American, so I wouldn’t know. But based on how many came out during this election season, I would say yes. And it seems they have always been there too.

Well, at least not everyone has been traumatized. Though I do enjoy the postings :)

Yay George Michael! I loved loved loved “Freedom” (how many “loved” can I get away with?)

Love the “nipples are a sign of the apocalypse” thing. At the same time, I am obsessed with my nipples not showing when I teach (hence padded bras, which I have come to hate). So I am a bit of a hypocrite, as much as I hate to admit it.

I don’t know what to say. My deepest sympathies? :) I remember going with my neighbors (they were what we called “a sect,” maybe Baptists or Pentecostal or Quiverfull, I don’t know, but they had 13 + children, all dressed in black and refused to identify their faith - and no, they were not Satanists :), to some kind…

Oh yeah! I was hoping someone would bring up Jessica Jones. The sex scenes were some of the most erotic ones I have recently seen. I stopped watching when things went sour between them (my patience is something I am working on). Maybe I should start watching Luke Cage....

Go you! And keep working on that “half-woke bae” of yours. He’ll get there, eventually.

I dare say that much of racism in general stems from a white male obsession with penises of different colors. You have this clear example regarding black penises, but there is also the reverse: the disdain, the belittling of Asian penises. I am neither Black, nor Asian, so my opinion is worth nothing (I happen to…

Hey, I only wanted to be a mermaid after watching Sade’s “No Ordinary Love” video. I’m considering a change of career, but I just need to learn how to swim (lol, I am like a rock and hate water, to be honest).

I was just about to post about that. I mean, there are descriptions of mermaids long before there were bras, so why not get rid of the bras, to make it more “natural” (for lack of a better word). I get it if it’s a kids- friendly show though (even so, breasts do exist, kids).

Me too.

Did the cat eat him? Hey, I really must know.

You are doing God’s work, good ma’m/ sir. I love your Chick tributes and regret not having been traumatized by them in my childhood.

Did they?

I would just brush it off, but my husband would go full Jason X on someone’s ass if our (hypothetical) children received anything like that. Just saying :)

Sorry, I am not American, so I just want to ask “where did you all grow up, people?” I would have serious PTSD after seeing Chick’s drawings as a child.
