I found that the problem was that, while Zoe Kravitz’ character was, indeed, imperfect and a tad selfish, she was still written and acted as someone for whom you should have sympathy, and this was probably necessary. Jon Cusack’s version was a total asshole douchebag. Of course, you still can’t write a woman as a…

Namely two and a half men and Big Bang theory. I had multiple people try to make me watch and I tried a couple of times and they both were just so awful. 

Kat Dennings was the only good thing about the first two Thor movies, she will forever have my devotion. 

I probably just watch too much Hulu but I saw commercials for it a lot. However, I also read a number of reviews on it that were very lukewarm.

When I was about 10, I fell through the springs of a trampoline and broke my arm on the metal frame as I crashed down. That was dumb. However, even dumber was two weeks later I am rollerblading with that broken arm and trip over a pinecone. As I’m falling, I’m worried about falling on the arm with the cast on, so I…

I was messing around with a Vacu Vin — those wine saver jobbies that pump the air out of an open bottle of wine — and discovered that its suction properties meant I could attach it to my forehead. So I pranced around and shouted, “Look at me! I’m a UNICORN!” (there was drink taken). When the Vacu Vin came off, there…

Last year, I decided to treat myself at my favorite local Mexican place, because it had been a hell of a day and my divorce was being finalized and I just... really needed a taco.

Welp, walked two feet into the restaurant, slipped on a tortilla chip. Two years of roller derby training told me to fall directly on my…

I once gave myself a serious corneal abrasion when I jammed a hockey-stick shaped piece of moulded plastic into my eye. It happened as I was being given a tour of a facility that required hard hats and protective eyewear for visitors. Yes, I almost blinded myself with the arm of a pair of safety glasses.

While on mushrooms I fell over when someone asked me the time and I tried to look at my watch.

Clearly you don’t know any strippers/exotic dancers.

In what universe do you live in where you expect naked/mostly-naked women to dance for you for FREE? They’re not doing it for fun, they’re doing it for money. I’m sure they don’t consider their transactions “awkward” - that’s on you.

Yeah, at the risk of sounding pretentious, I keep coming back to a quote by Ta-Nehisi Coates about how racism works, because it drills down so successfully on how bigotry works not so much by active malice, as by subtly and continually shifting burdens of proof off of those in charge, and onto the beleagured:

Because there the OPEIU is very small and hardly visible just now. It’s starting to change, but access to those large companies, law firms especially, is really difficult. Most admins don’t start off wanting to be career admins, they just get really good at it. Most of us began thinking it would do to pay rent, then…

You want to know what happened when I tried to negotiate at my government job when all of our salaries were transparent?

The dilemma is women need men as work place allies. But striving to earn the respect of these male allies only reinforces the patriarchy and continues to prop them up as the standard. I have seen that quest for male mentors lead to hyper competitiveness amongst women. This is a result of the artificial scarcity of…

That cake is positively radiant.

Are you American? Are you Native American? You can be as American as apple pie and not be Native. Same principle applies here. You can be Mexican (or any Latin American) and not be indigenous. But your opinion on indigenous issues just doesn’t carry weight.

What indigenous group or pueblo are you from? How do you feel about designs and patterns being take from your people and used to profit a company?

Pointing out a person is a felon every time they use an ATM is racist. Martha Stewart doesn’t get her rap sheet brought up every time she goes to the bank. Reese Witherspoon doesn’t get that every time she takes her kids for a drive.

am I alone in thinking wedges are very comfy and practical?
