I just don’t get why he didn’t have a separate blog/podcast/something for his other pursuits? Then people who are invested enough can follow along, but people who just want politics and news have what they want. Even youtubers are smart enough to have main channels and ‘vlog’ channels to keep from alienating viewers…

Hmm, ‘recall’. This sounds like the good ol’ Real Housewives defense, he doesn’t remember talking about the campaign, so he didn’t talk about the campaign. Sure Jeff.

In all honestly, I think Hiddleston is becoming...oddly endearing to me? There’s just something I enjoy so much about him steepling his fingers and saying things like ‘I’m just thinking about this.’ It tickles the hell out of me. I, for one, welcome this new, regret-filled, bitter Tom Hiddleston that probably wakes up…

I’m sorry, but I really don’t think we owe her a goddamn thing.

But...you did honey. You did. Hyesha Bryant was fair kinder to forgive you than you deserve.

As someone from Kansas City...yeah. They all look like that.

I can appreciate and agree with much of your argument, I guess my biggest concern with calling some acts “little effort” and some “big efforts” is the inclusion of disabled and disenfranchised peoples. It’s not about ego or being celebrated or looking for praise for me. I know there are those out there that are only…

I feel terrible about it, but I can’t help but agree. Liam’s such a serial monogamist-but-not-really-committed guy, at least before when he split with his long term girlfriends there were just dogs to worry about. :/

Bobby, tell us more about how you feel re: Liam Payne and Cheryl. My main issue was the fact that she was a season long judge on X-Factor the first season he auditioned and made it to judge’s houses...when he was 15. It kinda icks me out. Normally I do my best not to be judgmental about age gaps, but. Hm.

I totally understand the hesitance, I think it is a thing that is alluded to in passing a bare handful of times throughout the whole series, but looking back I don’t believe any female characters are explicitly threatened with sexual violence. Caveat: I could be misremembering something, I welcome any corrections. But…

See, I understand what you’re saying here, and I agree with a lot of it. I think the problem is that there’s so much purity politics that are happening in feminist and socially active circles, I think that’s where a lot of the urge to label things that aren’t inherently feminist as feminist, and why so many women and…

Hah, are you me and my girlfriend? She also has a degree of native ancestry, and her body hair is fairly light and thin, and mine is bristle-y and DARK. I recently shaved because I was tired of itching and scratching my legs, and I had stubble probably two hours later. She hasn’t shaved since last...August I think?…

I understand why you think her doing those things might not say anything useful, but for some women those acts were revelatory. I think any non-white voice adding to the public discourse in regards to feminism shouldn’t be disregarded, especially when they were denied the ability to do so for so long. I also…

Yes yes yes! I absolutely loved that one as well.

Mm, I guess we’ll have to disagree there. I remember where I was when I heard ***Flawless for the first time and heard her sample Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s TED talk. Four years ago doesn’t look like much time, but I distinctly remember many other celebrities riding the ‘well, I wouldn’t call myself a feminist’ party…

Some horror movies that are my favorites with female leads that don’t rely on punishing the more sexual promiscuous characters!

How does she factor in to my sometimes irrational aversion to Katy Perry?

I agree, she’s really not. She’s riding the coat tails of other celebrities and current media influencers that have in my opinion put themselves on the line by identifying as feminist before it was trendy to do so or for calling attention to social justice issues that often get quietly swept under the rug in favor of…

Oh, oh there it is, there’s why I have a Katy Perry aversion. For most of her career she’s just seemed so...behind. She makes a Thing, whether music, a video, what have you, and it always makes me think, ‘oh, you’ve finally gotten here? You’re finally with the rest of us? I mean, I guess it’s the journey, not the…

To be honest, he might not even know Frederick Douglass is black...
