I see you are unfamiliar with Joan’s patented brand of “assignment written the night before it’s due” articles.

Ellen deserves all the bouquets for being a pioneer, for opening doors for gays, for her hard work, talent and perseverance in making it in Hollywood.

She is 15. This is gross. 

Cut this shit out. She is a teenager in a dysfunctional family. You are compounding her anguish. Just stop.

My Women’s March sign said “Make Margret Atwood Fiction Again” and I was mostly thinking about abortion access but man it works on so many levels now.
