I mean, fuck the fucking monarchy, but I’m living for Meghan and Harry quitting publicly with no warning or prior discussion. Gold. They’ve earned the right to enjoy the blanket anonymity of life in Toronto, as far as I’m concerned.

I mean, sure. I took your question to be hyperbole, though, since I don’t see anyone outraged that Little Women, specifically, didn’t receive a 7th nomination.

Have you watched it? While you may not like the film after watching it, I suspect that actually watching it might answer your question. The movie isn’t for everyone, but it is objectively more than just “a remake of a film that’s been made twice before” (and it has been make way more than twice before) and takes steps…

Right! And while I also do Friendsgiving with hetero friends, Friendsgiving is a staple of queer communities, because while I have an awesome, accepting family (and it seems like you do, as well) a lot of queer people just don’t have much of a family to go home to. Friends aren’t inherently less valuable than family,…

Why, though? This seems like a pretty arbitrary pronouncement. 

I feel like I should like Bernadette (I’m a historical sewist, myself) but I find her absolutely insufferable. I still watch a lot of her videos (because her work is fucking stellar, and who am I to pass up a video of someone executing perfect itty-bitty Victorian gathers?) but sometimes I want to reach through the…

Jesus, people who are convinced that their children should be welcome at every event blow my mind. Yes, the expectant mother realizes that she’s going to have a baby soon, the point of a child free baby shower is to enjoy a bit of adult time with one’s friends before that becomes more difficult.

Not that I think this is reasonable (I don’t), but I think the idea is that single women who are worried they aren’t going to find a person to have children with find it emotionally painful to sit with families while they wait to go through the invasive and painful process of egg extraction.

In this context ‘bottoming’ or ‘topping’ doesn’t really have much to do with who is putting what, where. It’s referring to dominance and submission, but in a low-key, less structured way. Mocena has covered it pretty well, but I don’t think the distinction is fluidity, per se (switches are an established thing in…

I’m a Torontonian, and I start wearing heattech under everything as soon as we hit about 10 degrees celsius, which is the weather you’re describing. Fuck being cold. 

God, the comments on this article make New York sound terrible. Only wear black or you’ll look like a try hard? Only ankle boots are allowed? Jesus.

They seem to be pretty firmly over the divorce thing at this point.

I refuse the believe that Julie Andrews hasn’t been in an orgy. I mean, who hasn’t been in an orgy?!

I’d call it unrelated because Elsa isn’t just the only adult princess that isn’t paired off, she’s literally the only adult princess, period. So dismissing examples of other princesses who aren’t in relationships because they’re teenagers seems pretty off topic given the context is that literally every other Disney…

That’s entirely unrelated to the conversation you’ve entered, but sure!

Oh, I definitely don’t think there was even a ghost of a chance of Elsa being canonically queer, and I couldn’t give two fucks about this character in particular. I’m just spectacularly tired of hearing “why can’t a woman just be single, though???!!!” every time it is suggested that a woman in a work of fiction might…

Snow White was 14, Jasmine was 15, Ariel, Mulan, and Aurora were 16, and Belle was 17, so I’m not exactly sure what you’re getting at here.

We have other Disney princesses who aren’t in romantic relationships (Merida and Moana come to mind) but not any canonically queer Disney princesses. So... this sounds a bit like you reaching for reasons there shouldn’t be a queer Disney princess. Hm.

People do complain about the Spidermen. My question is why does everyone complain so much about the Spidermen when there have been infinitely more Batmen? The Batmen are so, so boring. 

I saw that you were wearing a $180 coat from Uniqlo and thought to myself, “lol, New Yorkers.”

I moved from Northern Ontario to Toronto about 6 years ago, but I still buy coats as though I live in the fuckin’ tundra because I still head north to visit my parents pretty regularly. Spending $1000 on a coat may seem…
