My first and only Pitchfork was 2008. Holy fuck, what an awesome fest.

...but Mike’s Hard Lemonade LIGHT!?!?!

Haha, thanks? Married and super happy (I was one of the winners from last week’s Pissing Contest, captured above).

I don’t know, I hung out with a lot of service industry and music people, so I was used to seeing Mickey’s as the cheap/hipster option at bars. This guy apparently picked out the Mike’s Hard Lemonade LIGHT because he was “watching his carbs.” This was before White Claw and the like that we have today.

I’d been on a couple very lovely dates with a lovely man. We were going to Netflix and Chill and went to a liquor store to grab some drinks before heading to my place. We split up to go pick out our respective drinks and he returned with.... Mike’s Hard Lemonade LIGHT. I feigned period cramps when we got back to my…

Haha, nope! Didn’t bone until a few weeks after that birthday, actually.

My best birthday happened 3 weeks after I met a guy who I was very into. We’d been on a few dates but he was away that weekend for a friend’s wedding. My friends planned a fun and special day because it was my 30th birthday, and it was a blast, but I felt bad for continuously checking my phone to see if he texted. He…

Because if Tad doesn’t get good enough grades to go to Georgetown Law, it is 10000% my fault.

I just made out with their sons when they’d pick me up on their jet skis after work while mom was back home drinking her 7th chardonnay on the dock ;)

Love this term, it makes so much sense!

Thank you thank you thank you for the work you do. Wish we had folks like that at our institution.

I grew up in the Midwest! Have you ever met monied folks from the Chicago suburbs??

I couldn’t quite put my finger on why the 2nd season rubbed me the wrong way, but you nailed it. I grew up in a rural area that had a small lake. Us poors lived there all year long, but never had direct access to the lake beyond the public parks because rich folks owned all the lakefront property and called them their…

What is your race and gender? I’m a white-passing (regarding how students would see me at first glance) Hispanic woman.

Agreed on the entering into their identity as men. I think this is also why we see a sudden influx of rapes on college campuses for this same age group. Whether or not the guys who rape were having consensual sex in high school, they get to campus thinking they will be getting all the sex they’d ever dream of. When…

I actually traveled abroad with students...and many asked ME to hold their passport for them!

Thanks for sharing your experience. It puts into words what I experience teaching college-aged students. The boys/men (18-22 year-olds are “adults” but their behavior suggests otherwise) get fucking MAD if you provide any sort of constructive criticism or suggestions for improvement, even though that is the point of…

That Vice article is an extremely important read, and the story about the Pornogrind/Grindcore bands’ lyrics, art, and purposeful attempts at dehumanizing people should be cover story for every outlet right now. One member of another bands’ mental gymnastics is astounding:

Suggestions for moving forward with which part? The protestor issue? They suck and clearly clinics have been working with their city and state governments to try to pass buffer zone laws and/or noise ordinances, often to no avail. It is frustrating and I’m sure the counter-protestors are doing their thing out of…

This is a really great article that examines some of the complexities and tensions within the RR/RH/RJ movement. As someone who used to work for PP, and at the time was frustrated that they’d turn down offers for counter-protests and pro-PP activism, I eventually came to understand why these actions weren’t actually…
