I'm really ok with her not doing the poptart routine and releasing a garbage album every year. I think an artist like her should take time between projects to refuel.

I've already written my thoughts on Joan for Jezebel. It's my highest starred ever post.
Here it is again for anyone that wants a feel good Joan story now: http://jezebel.com/circa-2002-may…
I laid out the basis for the Paycheck Fairness act. I admit, I don't know what specific group of people created it. It could be a bunch of old white men, but I doubt it. The fact is, that supporting the Paycheck Fairness Act is supporting equal pay for all of us. Not just white women, not just black people, all of us.
…
Um what sums this whole conversation up nicely.
The reality is, shit is wrong for all parties but white men. From your statement, you'd rather leave this it go on than work with anyone (because I've no idea who has worked on the Paycheck Fairness act) to get it fixed. Alright, good night.
Are you two serious?!? I am sitting up half the night typing post after post that equal pay benefits all of us and now you're calling out statistics and telling me that I don't care about you by association?
Here's the facts: We are supposed to receive equal pay. You can file a lawsuit for pay discrimination. How many…
I am a white woman. I am a poor as fuck white woman that would benefit from equal pay just as much as a woman of color would. Are we really going to deny that equal pay effects women of color? I've been saying through out this entire debate tonight not to look at Patricia Arquette for too much insight here. I've been…
No, I don't mean equal pay for white women. I will never mean that. Don't put words in my mouth, and don't engage me if your blood pressure is that delicate.
Now you want to get mad that I might be white? Are you for real? My skin color would make such a difference in your world after you went there with an all caps shut up?
I am not Patricia Arquette. I am not trying to translate her shit. I cannot activate some fucking telepathic powers and tell you if her meaning…
No. I'm not wagging my finger at women of color. In fact, there's no wagging going on here. I've said three different ways that if you're hoping for a Feminist-Moses to part the Red Sea of Patriarchy you're just not going to find it in Patricia Arquette.
You either want equal pay for equal work or you don't. Why does…
This is a problem. Because no matter how you choose to interpret her meaning, if it were to actually happen, it would still benefit all of us. Dismissing things as "white feminist" is fine when we're talking about problems specific to women of color.
There has to come a time when feminists of every race, creed, and…
Let's be real here. Patricia Arquette is a second generation Hollywood white woman of some means. I'm sure it's still insulting to know that your male counterparts are receiving more money for the same job, but I don't think she'll ever be deciding what bill she can pay late and get away with it. When you hack and…
Is it really? I would never have guessed!
This wins the most inspiring post of the day. I hate that it resulted from such a tragedy, but I can't help but be inspired when when I see this level of activism.
Why are rich people driving again? Let me get some of that money. I'll be sitting in the back seat of a limo and watching tv. Every time I see something happening to a celebrity from dui onto texting related accidents, I'm like... WHY ARE YOU DRIVING? GIVE SOMEONE A JOB YOU FOOL!
