Bad caretakers seem the more likely cause of death than just bed bugs.

Honestly? My best advice is to open your ears, open your eyes, and try your hardest to suppress the knee-jerk defensiveness that’s natural if someone criticizes you. Try to instead think openly and sympathetically about what they’re saying, ESPECIALLY if you’re American and white and the person criticizing something…
“feminism in general has always, ALWAYS had problems in that vein—women using feminism as a means to gain access to patriarchal power, instead of as a means to transform patriarchy”
I dislike the “I’m a better feminist than you” conversation.
Do you think it’s possible to be a feminist and not devote every action of your life to feminism?
I think I’m just in a really bad mood today but this interview pissed me off. “Oh no, feminism is too mainstream so I need to call myself something else! People who call themselves feminists who don’t work to solve every single problem in the fucking world and also overthrow capitalism every minute of their lives…
A MILLION TIMES THIS. I’m not even a huge Beyonce fan (I liked her latest album, but she’s hit and miss with my music tastes). But I find it highly suspicious how (a hell of a lot of white) women are suddenly so concerned with Beyonce being comfortable with her sexuality and constantly questioning whether or not she’s…
Crispin was all over the place in this interview and excessively pious/judgmental. She is often self-contradictory; e.g. she thinks Steinem’s criticism of women who support Bernie can’t be taken seriously because Steinem’s always had boyfriends, yet Crispin condemns the “context of investigating women’s pasts to…
It must be nice to be the only person doing feminism right.
She lost me with her comments on white feminism. It’s not just power, it’s the power and cluelessness that whiteness affords.
It’s so sad that the term has been ruined to the point where actual feminists don’t want to use it anymore. I’ll still use it. I may not write books, but I feel like just saying I’m a feminist is confrontational enough to make a point. I’ll let my words and actions be a witness to what feminism is actually about, to…
My new demon of a kitten out of nowhere last weekend sat down and stared at the television the entire time The Young Pope was on. This kitten has literally never sat still since we brought her home but the two nights The Young Pope was on, she sits on the pouf and just watches in fervently. She loves it and I think…
I have a Lhasa Apso who can’t go a day without checking in with her agent. And if she asks for another hundred bucks for head shots and grooming. Bitch, please...
The Houston Holocaust museum had an exhibit once that decimated me. It was eyeglasses that I guess we’re confiscated from one of the camps — I want to say it was roughly 300,000 of them. Little 12/13 year old me cried through the entire museum but I lost my shit at the glasses.
Like I said, it’s not surprising you hadn’t heard about it. These campaigns left so few survivors, and those who did make it out of the war alive were largely in Eastern Bloc countries, where public discussion the Holocaust was heavily censored. It was only in the 1990s that this stuff started being talked about more…
While some camps made a weak effort to conceal their murderous operations, Sobibor was clearly a death camp: prisoners were often taken straight from the trains to the gas chambers. After an uprising in October 1943, Nazis destroyed the camp and attempted to eradicate all evidence of the killings. But researchers have…
The swastika on the forehead is a little much even for them. Swastika tattoos must be in a concealable location, like the chest, neck (now hidden by 2nd chin) or buttcheek.
OMG Saudi ladies, how I love you all the way from California. May we all resist with such humor and intellect!
