I really disagreed with the Bitch article, especially with how it used the revelation of Detroit’s own “white voice” as an example of how the character is ill-defined. In my opinion, that moment (and the questions it brings up) is exactly what makes the character and movie so great. Were Detroit a one-dimensional…

I tend to agree with Boots Riley on this one; I didn’t read Detroit as a Manic Pixie Dream Girl. In fact, I think her own character arc was itself a pretty savage look at the ways in which even the hardcore Leftist has to conform to capitalism in order to survive; hell, she has her own damn “white voice,” and it’s…

All these straight white men with their hard-ons for disruption can go eat a bag of dicks. 

Forming here.

do you even goth, bro?

Anyone who’s had nightmare neighbours knows that it can quickly escalate, and you can be driven to irrational, impulsive behaviour you would never normally engage in.

Um, Gina Torres, our one true goddess is on Suits?!! She’s right there in the picture!

The sad truth is that a state vs. state show would be a phenomenal success because Americans hate each other.

But I am interested in your rod.

I doubt it’s even that regionally specific. I live in LA, and I see dudes on Tinder with guns in their profiles all the time. (And dismiss every last one. NOPE.)

I am not on any dating apps, but anytime a picture shows up on Instagram with a gun in it, I report the post for promoting violence. I am outdoorsy, so IG’s screwed up algorithms keep suggesting hunting shit, and I report it every time. If women can’t show their nipples, men shouldn’t be able to show their dicks.

You know what they also need to ban? Fish. As in, literal fish. There are so, so many profile photos of men holding fish. Dear men: I am not interested in your cod.

I read the first few Outlander books as a teen in the late 90s. I had a group of friends in our IT class and we would pass the books around after one person finished so we could all read them (they obviously weren’t stocked in our school library and we considered them pretty scandalous).

Valley of the Horses, full stop. Opened up a whole new vista of cave-(wo)man sexytimes. Also Jondalar has a giant dick, apparently, and invented cunnilingus.

As a suicide prevention advocate and a suicide loss survivor, I urge you to follow guidelines about reporting on suicide, which include not including method of death, especially in a headline: http://reportingonsuicide.org/

One thing I’ve learned in the past week is that one of the more subtle yet insidious abuses of power is their continued insistence that they be the ones to “fix” things. On their terms, always on their terms.

How utterly despicable.

When I am Queen, everyone will go back to a Victorian e-mail/text schedule, unless it’s an emergency. The Victorians got their mail, to which they would often write out a reply immediately, four times a day, spread out approximately evenly from around 7 in the morning to around 8 at night. If you read novels, or…

Oh look. A PHD penis measuring contest!

Or you could turn around and say that romantic comedies are an incredibly powerful cultural force that affects the lives of millions of people, and no one really gives a shit about methane on Titan.
