I genuinely don’t understand how a person can be anti-asexual. What is there to be upset about? It’s an orientation made up of absence.

I think it’s a really fucking stupid decision to terrify this child in particular. I think for a kid who hasn’t been subjected to terrible abuse, it’s a pretty fucking funny motivator. Instead of charging this man they should have given him resources for free parenting classes. There is a middle ground between…

This is a perfect solution.

Did anyone at the Emmys stand up and scream collaborator? Probably not or it would be online by now.

I love her and Aziz so much. They deserve this. Master of None is a really spectacular show and the second season lets them stretch. I love the deaf couple screaming vagina in the store. I love the flashbacks of them as children.

She has a friend and they get together and make just massive batches of edibles. Fruit leather, jerky, various cookies, chocolate bon bons, and my personal favorite English toffee. I think they spend like a weekend doing it.

Uh I’m not sure where you live but your whole comment seems willfully blind. “Don’t be such a Jew” is something I have heard out and about frequently. Anti-Semitism is way more common and way more acceptable than other kinds of bigotry. The same people using Jew as a pejorative would never casually say nigger at full…

The first time I moved back in was just after my divorce, I was 21. I was there for about 5 months, not realizing now badly I was decompensating. I got shitty job at ATT for a few months and moved into a place with some roommates. I got a better job and about 9 months later I moved 1,000 miles east and found a…

Well it’s still a local brew here in Reno. They even have their own bar downtown that is not a big shiny sparkly touristy mess even though they have a patio on the river. I’m going to say it’s okay to support Sierra Nevada.

Yes, twice I left and twice I had to go back. Luckily third time going 1,000 miles away did the trick. What field are you in? How long have you been unemployed? What part of the country?

The Worst Witch! It’s so freaking cute and silly and sometimes laughably low budget. I had a good time counting how many different cats they cast as “Tabby.”

This.

I don’t even remember. I do remember that I read both (yes it was Vox I think, 1996ish) with a guy friend of mine and he loooooooooooooved Baker and I was pissed off almost immediately. So much so that 20 years later I saw his name just thought “ugh, that fucking guy.”

Well I guess your defensiveness got in the way of my point. So have a nice weekend.

This is the trap. Not picking on you at all, but even you have a toe in it. It’s really really hard to stop placing value on youth/slenderness/firmness. And it’s really really hard to adjust our speech in a way that doesn’t. It’s built in to our language and culture.

Because it’s never had to be. Even my feminist mother (of the White Feminism variety) never handed my brother a can of pledge and a rag.

No they use video games to mask self loathing, not replace it.

That would be a perfect story!

This was really interesting. Thanks for posting it.

Oh I’m the real Magus, yes I’m the real Magus, all you other real Magus are just imitators.
