This stuff had a million sets of hands and eyes on it during the design and approval process. In that time not one person saw this and said “Uh, guys.....maybe we have a problem here....”

Whenever I see stuff like this, I’m baffled that not one person mentioned that it may be a bad idea when it was being developed. 

There’s no attitude I find more repellent than aggressive hipster posturing. At some point people apparently decided that ironic detachment was the “cool” thing to do, and all it does is drag down everyone.

It’s the same lady, she just has dark hair now.

Meh. I don’t find them particularly boring and I do not find their lack of embarrassment problematic at all. They are just a bunch of enthusiastic and fairly talented a capella singers. I ain’t mad at ‘em.

So, to review: Molest kids and you get moved, hidden, lied for, covered up, protected. For years. By everyone, all the way to the top.

The Cut article was such an insane take I thought it was sarcasm. I am surprised that it was not.

Years ago, I was watching a mastectomy of a transman. The before photo of the nipple was censored but the post-surgery nipple was not. It was the exact same nipple, but less breast tissue and fat behind it, and suddenly it was acceptable to show on TV. -__-

In addition to that, I need people to acknowledge that in 2018, presenting the concept of no means yes (because that’s what this song is) as cutesy nostalgia is a Bad. Fucking. Idea.

Can we still watch Elf?  

The worst boss I’ve ever had would always tell women they needed to “lean in” (which in her mind meant taking all the bullshit she threw at you and then lied about.) When I hear people say the term “lean in” now, my first reaction is to gag and then my second reaction is “Oh, you’re one of those bullshit corporate…

My middle school guidance counselor said I’d never finish high school because I didn't have great grades. Not only did I finish high school AND college, but I have a graduate degree with work experience in all three branches of the federal government. I went ballistic when she and another teacher who bullied me tried…

And it’s not always enough to lean in, because that shit doesn’t work all the time.

Because the context of the song has changed with the times. It’s old context is irrelevant now. Those social norms of the 1950's are gone and forgotten by everyone accept aficionados of the 1950's. So now the meaning of the song has changed. Its like how language changes and the people who feel the need to defend the…

I find it interesting who she chose to rip off work from. Two Latinas and one Asian out of four people.

This is news, for sure (even if these allegations have been floating around for a while). Sadly, articles like this one attract all types of trolls, dirtbags, incels, and morons (these things are not mutually exclusive). Drive-by grays who search the internet to post their nonsense on websites and web forums that they…

you come for pluto, you better watch uranus.

And the thing is, the poetry world (of actual published/award-winning poets and those who enjoy their work) is small. A lot of people are reading the same little chapbooks. If you plagiarize published work, it’s only a matter of time before you get caught. So this isn’t just assholery. It’s really breathtaking…
