I’ve never thought of it like that before, that different tones from different people do different things, that it shouldn’t be up to a single person to be the bearer of all tones and possibles sides. Thanks for the new perspective.

I’ll put my thoughts in a different way, because I don’t want to seem as if I’m correcting Rose’s tone AT ALL...

I deliver junk mail, and though they weren’t officially part of the No campaign, I was contractually obliged to send out pamphlets from three different local churches who wanted to say their own horrid piece on the matter; we even got people going from door to door on behalf of the No campaign. It wasn’t a stronger…

Here the votes were 52% Yes, and I presume that if it were narrowed even further to be specific to my town that it would be even lower.

I don’t want to police her tone in any way—I’m all for being justly angry and not shutting up until shit gets done—but her tone can feel like a lot sometimes, definitely for a newcomer trying to take a look at her side of the conversation.

I certainly don’t think the “whole country was against us”, because they obviously weren’t, but I can say for certainty that I barely saw any enthusiasm for Yes where I live, while there was plenty for No, the signs and stickers for which I saw literally every day, and the ads on tv that I saw every night that told me…

I don’t know about you but I saw ads for the No campaign—a campaign built on spreading homophobic lies and intolerance—every day on tv, even multiple times a day. I saw it on social media and ads played before YouTube videos. I saw signs in front yards, and stickers on cars and bus stops. I drove past groups with…

This feeling is definitely worth the three months of seeing openly homophobic ads every day everywhere I went.

Can I talk about Fresh off the Boat here?

Pussies. In Australia I have to deal with seeing openly homophobic ads all the time and I just have to deal with it.

Wow. Throughout the album I felt as if I understood every word and nuance that Karin wrote, with little effort from myself it was so clear, yet for some reason I didn’t consider what I had learnt as effecting how I saw her previous persona. Now that I think about it, I agree that I found out a lot about her personal…

On this album more than any other I feel that knowledge of Karin’s personal life would help give context and understanding to the album, giving people who won’t give it multiple listens an easier access point to appreciate it. That is probably the opposite of what Karin wants, though.

It seems like the instant I posted my comment the correction was made and all “Andersson”s were changed to “Dreijer”s. I wish Kinja would let me edit my comment to remove my correction note, but oh well.

(A small—though maybe important—correction: For this album Fever Ray is only credited as Karin Dreijer, not Karin Dreijer Andersson.)

I didn’t even know season 3 was a thing until just now! Where were the reviews, dammit?!

If Harper’s Island were made now it would be prime to become an anthology series.

The only one I can give off the top of my head is a new movie called 12 Feet Deep.

I never go in a pool that has an electronic covering. I’m too afraid it will glitch or someone will close it on me and I’ll be trapped there for days and starve and drown. It is definitely not as common a scenario as some of these, but I’ve seen it enough times to be physically afraid of it happening to me.

Can I talk about Superstore here?

Black-ish really went overboard with how exciting Monopoly really is to play. It was one of the show’s best episodes, though.
