If I had the choice to move overseas — if I didn’t have a husband and kids and all of that — I’d do the same in a nanosecond. I respect America’s history, and there are many great things about living here, but I can’t be patriotic about a country that’s so rapidly and so willingly letting itself fall behind peer…

It’s impossible. You aren’t just arguing with a person, you’re arguing with that person plus everyone on Fox News and Breitbart and Rush Limbaugh and whatever random memes they saw on Facebook.. Right-wing media is a curse.

And even if something absolutely isn’t true, Trump and his people will repeat it until half the country believes it, and Congress won’t do anything about it no matter how horrific things get. So it’s almost not worth caring.

Oh, god, can this just be over? I’m so tired.

I love wedge salads but people keep telling me they “aren’t really salad.” Which might be true, but let a girl live.

More likely Alyssa or Holly. Shannen left the show under such bad terms that she wouldn’t even give them permission to use her in flashbacks. I haven’t heard that she’s buried the hatchet, either.

We did the same thing! Plan A had been Europe but then 9/11 happened and all the travel options that would have gotten us off the continent were weird and kind of expensive. So we went to Montreal and Quebec City and had a completely amazing time. Would love to go back someday.

It’s been a while since I read the book, too, but the reason I felt it was a glamorization was that Hannah is treated as a heroine — someone too sensitive and brave to live in the world. (Which is puke.) If I remember right, she *wanted* the tapes to ruin people’s lives, and she got what she wanted. Not much of a…

You’re the second person to tell me that. The issue to me isn’t how the suicide itself is depicted. I have no opinion on that. What I do know is that the main message of the story, as told in the book, is that if you kill yourself you’ll be listened to. You’ll be loved. You’ll matter in a way a lot of teenagers (or…

I haven’t read that piece, but I may need to keep an eye out for it. It wouldn’ surprise me if media is starting to reflect how hopeless so many of us feel in this moment.

I think this is the first, last and only time I have ever or will ever agree with PTC, so mark it on your calendars.

Is it just me, or do the actresses playing Maggie and Mel in the Charmed reboot look way too much alike? It’s gonna take me a good half-season to be able to tell which witch is which.

I mean, it sucks, but I can see it from her point of view. Cameron got successful really young — I think she was 19 or 20 in The Mask. And now she’s at an age where she’s going to be fighting for mommy roles against women a decade younger. Not fun, and not necessary when she has plenty of money and would probably like…

I’d need to rewatch the arc — I don’t think I’ve revisited it since it originally aired. But in general, you’re right that the show often gave Kurt a pass, so I suspect her probably got a pass on his creepiness in this situation too.

Kurt was a much more interesting character before the show decided he was a saint, IMHO. I agree those storylines were messed up, but you have to put them into context — *everyone* on Glee was doing awful stuff the first several seasons, because it was partially meant as a black comedy. Puck technically rapes Quinn…

I have way mixed feelings. On the one hand, I don’t think #MeToo needs a show yet (if at all), and if/when it does, it should probably be made by women.

Thank you. I know I shouldn’t need a disclaimer to stop from getting my precious white girl fee-fees hurt, but sometimes I do. Sometimes I feel like even trying to be anti-racist is futile because everything I do is racist by definition. So having you spend a thousand words spelling out the obvious, something I…

We don’t deserve Janelle Monae.

I’m just generally disappointed in establishment journalists right now. I mean, that’s a consistent feeling since 2016, but now more than ever. So a comedian told some (arguably) mean jokes at a fancy dinner. First, who cares? As we all learned in first grade, “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will…

You could also congratulate yourself on not being that desperate?
