You son of a bitch

Would have disagreed except for your *. They've had some good episodes since then, but the characters became caricatures. The biggest example is Homer. Homer used to be a caring dad. He used to have some competence. That was all taken away in the name of idiot jokes.

Whoa. I'm not even a fan of Doctor Who, and even I know that you'll catch some flak for not spelling out "Doctor." ;)

Anyting pre-99 is "Greatest Show of All Time Worthy"

should i say it? very unpopular opinion, i know:

This could also be weirdly, specifically racist as well. Like it ONLY applies to Asian women.

I'm not sure what you mean. Nobody doesn't love "Twin Beaks," but that "Homeland" parody is also "actual Sesame Street."

No, if a doctor had told any of them they had fertility issues, that would definitely be a particular reason. That's a diagnosis. I'm talking about women in their late 20s and early 30s that all have a "feeling" that they have fertility issues, based on exactly nothing.

I think that it's because women are fed a whole bunch of lies, yes fucking lies, about how you will never, ever get pregnant after 30. As a woman who had an abortion at 29 while on the pill (remember when those BC pills were pulled off the market two years ago guess what I was taking) and a subsequent in depth…

I feel like within the context of intentional baby-making, you hear about fertility struggles (as is right and proper—it's not an uncommon issue and a lot of men and women find support in talking about it openly), but not SO much the "Yeah, we tried once/twice/three times and I got knocked up." (Probably because it…

She's saying that a society premised on slavery and oppression is Hell for both white and black women, and that white women like Mistress Epps did what oppressed people often do — she turned around and oppressed those who had it even worse than she did. She couldn't take her rage out on her husband, who is the one who…

This was hard to read (literally, hard to understand what the author was trying to say), but I appreciate the overall sentiment. It's always been very interesting how much more complicated early women's rights movements really were - their relationship to race issues, reproductive rights, etc. To quibble with a…

There’s a big difference between what people think they’re prepared to do and how they actually feel once they’ve done it.

Is it odd that someone her age doesn't know how offensive blackface is? I think it is.

My guess is this hunk of handsome man

Boys' names stay a lot more traditional because boys are a lot more likely to be named after their fathers than girls are their mothers.

I watched the graphic first and let out a little involuntary yay! when Jose took over Texas. Surprised myself a little, but there you have it.

Blah. The reason so many writers use Clemens is that Clemens wrote one of the first time-travel stories. (It could be argued that Dickens wrote early time-travel too — why do you think they were called the Ghosts of Christmas Past and Future?)

Yeah, I'm sure it was gaining in popularity before Twilight. I assumed the author of Twilight used it because of its popularity.

That's really cool. I don't have that option with my bank. Most here require you to pay a monthly fee for bill pay. My parents have it, I think, but I don't.
