Every time I realize Liz Phair is no longer making music, I want to punch somebody.

Wait, I think I get it. Calling yourself trash is how men deal with the fact that they actually like patriarchy and misogyny because it benefits them. So they show shame and that covers up for the fact that they still want dominance. If you say “I’m trash” and do a little performative feminism, you can avoid changing

I think it’s sweet that Nick Jonas’ mom will do his laundry when he’s home. You got to enjoy that shit while you can, that closeness, because you get old and your parents get sick and/or die and all you have left are photos and pie recipes that make your kitchen smell like childhood. TLDR: be careful asking people

Por que no los dos?

Oh Goooooooiddddammmmmnit!!!! You’re telling me the music that literally got me through some of the hardest times in my life (father suicide, divorce, other very close deaths, too many things I can’t share) was written by predator. God I feel so angry towards him not in any way shape or form that that music is now

“We’ve been the stronger sex all along, and men know it. That’s why they hate us so much.”

Fuck yes. This is courageous.

So yeah guys, if you’re like, “I don’t know what I personally can do to help!”, the thing to do is to call out men, ESPECIALLY YOUR FRIENDS AND COWORKERS AND ACQUAINTANCES when they are creeps and abusers. Especially your friends and coworkers and acquaintances. Especially your friends and coworkers and acquaintances.

can you imagine the inJUSTice of being a man, benefiting your WHOLE career from the boy’s club, only to have your PICTURE POSTED next to a WORSE man than you, who only did a little grabbin? men canNOT catch a break in this world, ESPECIALLY in hollywood.

This comes up at least as often as “women are predators too.”

Christ, if I had a nickel for every time a man conflated the potential for an “innocent” man to be accused of harassment or assault with the actual harassment or assault experienced by women, I would be richer than Donald Trump pretends to be.

“‘I’m terrified that, in our righteous quest to do good, we’re sweeping up the innocent as well as the guilty,’ Galloway wrote. ‘We’re accepting allegations in the place of solid proof.’”

Yes. Listen to it. It’s pretty much an opera; almost the entire play is contained in the cast recording. There’s only a few small moments that don’t make it into the soundtrack. So you won’t miss any major scenes/ chunks of dialogue.

Replying to myself because there’re so many enthusiasts here: I’m convinced! Downloading right now and will do some cleaning and self-education tonight. Thank you for what will probably be a new light in my life. This is why Jezzies are the best.

I have no idea why, but this story made me think of Love Actually. Off to listen to Joni Mitchell and be grateful I’m no longer with my cheating, gaslighting ex.

Hollywood’s weird.

This is horrifying, but it’s odd that she was tired enough to fall asleep someplace that uncomfortable, and I wonder if the boyfriend’s enablement went so far as to intoxicate her with alcohol or drugs.

The way people get so bumfuzzled about the “he said/she said” nature of some sexual assaults is mind boggling to me. It’s as if the listener, for the time and space of hearing the sexual assault story only, utterly loses all sense of risk, motivation, and consequences. What possible motivation would a woman have to

I own one pair of LLR that I received as a gift. I like them, they’re comfy, but not something I would routinely buy. The patterns I like (which there are a few here and there) always sell out, and I just can’t support that business model.

Plus, I can buy leggings at another place, for half the price, in patterns I
