I feel the need to repeat what I said to a bawling coworker who fucked up bad but swore she was the victim:

My dude, 13-year olds cannot give consent, therefore G.R.R.M. wrote a rape scene in his book. It is honestly only barely better in the show, but at least the characters are aged up in the show. I’m also super uninterested in the “this is what the Middle Ages were like” argument, because A Song of Fire and Ice is a…

What a princess in name only, who turned her back on a royal marriage for true love?

lol her humor was spot on. Gunn take notes

I’m not sure it’s worth regretting. I really enjoyed it when I was 15 and wanted to be a Manic Pixie Girl (tm) but I looked back about 5 years later and was pretty disgusted at how male-gazey it is. The entire plot is that a bunch of adult men never got over their obsession with a bunch of emotionally abused dead…

Ready for some avant-garde naming shit? I post this every time this question comes up, because I am a consummate elitist.

I got married almost 8 years ago, and I kept my name. It is so weird to me that it is the normal, expected thing for an American woman to change her name when we get married to a man, and that instead of moving forward in time from the hypenated names of the 90s to everyone gets to have their own identity, seemingly…

I got married last year and chose to keep my name, and the reactions have been interesting. Growing up I didn’t know anyone whose mother kept her maiden name after she got married. All of my now-married women friends changed their names. I don’t know any married couples who have hyphenated their last names or created…

Hello, Jezzies! It’s been a while since I’ve checked in. I’m not sure if my antidepressants are working as well as they used to, or if I’m simply having a really rough patch personally: I’m on the verge of finishing my degree, so I have a bunch of assignments due, I haven’t been sleeping well, and it looks like I may…

Hi, are there any other parents of teenagers with mental health diagnoses here? Been having a really rough few weeks with my kid and just feeling like a failure. Fuck this is hard.

Funny story about that meme...the guy in the picture is Georg Kacher. He’s the European bureau chief for Automobile magazine. That picture is from a test drive of the Lamborghini Centenario. He was driving a car that was already sold to someone else.

I was watching an interview of Jimmy O. Yang. He had no discernible accent in his interview (or if he did it was fairly subtle). In the show, he of course does have one. There’s nothing wrong with that. People come from many different places and have many different accents. But there’s that part of me that thought,…

Why qualify this statement? It reads as though your response to this is “I feel bad for the 8 year-old boy, but worse for the adult women he later dated.” Yes, he cheated - but it does not sound like he raped anyone, so why qualify what sounds like a deeply traumatizing and lasting issue he bottled up as being lesser…

Heck, I went to look for the GIF and lost my place! Anyway, as the purse-seine fishing net closes around Cheeto Benito and his dreadful family, there are signs from various corners that Putin has set in motion the process of throwing Trump under the bus. Recently, the Kremlin released information for the first time…

It’s because you didn’t have shared experiences. You have family memories but when the gap is that big it’s a very different experiences and you just don’t have that super close bond.

I will say this once, and I do say it with all the respect deserving of a President of the United States of America worthy of the title and the accolades... Barack Obama was always diplomatic to a fault.
