My sister wasn't able to conquer her addictions either. But I wouldn't call her "stupid." I'd call her beautiful, artistic, kind, funny, deeply troubled, incredibly sad, and gone tragically early.

For those of us who are on Facebook and Twitter today who have also lost loved ones to heroin overdose regardless of however many people have died that way before them, seeing shit like this is not only totally retraumatizing, but trivializing, insulting, and deeply hurtful.

My brother wasn't stupid. His death wasn't…

Worst Superbowl ever. I wasn't invested in a winner, but it was so one-sided it was hard to watch. But the half-time show? FAAAANTASTIC!

Her?

Didn't Jezebel just have an article about Kristin Bell and Dax Sheppard calling for a boycott of publications that run pictures of celebrity kids? This boy just lost his father, let's not put his picture all over the internet.

Oh, god. No.

YOU BARELY KNOW HIM!!!

"Keep my man's name out ya mouth!!"

Exactly! As a girl who was super like Hermione- smart, passionate about various causes that people my own age found annoying, and ambitious- I continuously to this day find myself attracted to Ron-like dudes who are relaxed, funny, and curb my stick in the mud tendencies. I totally get it, and I think it's silly to…

Eh. She made a lot of mistakes. The awful Snape/Lily subplot (REALLY? REAAAAALLLY? Christ Snape had SO MUCH potential for being an interesting story, and creepy stalker love is SUPER NOT INTERESTING.) being first and foremost. She can apologize by not writing any more crappy "adult" novels and I dunno, writing a…

"Hey guys, remember when I wrote Harry Potter? Lets all keep talking about that and not forget about me"

But morality doesn't occur in a vacuum, and Cate Blanchett, at the very least, has specifically championed Allen as a male director who is wonderful because of his ability to understand and relate to women. Sure, that's implicitly within an artistic context, but it also suggests a broader endorsement of his…

It hasn't broken my heart because, despite being a HUGE fan of the series, I've never been a big shipper. It does kinda make me lose a little respect for her, though. I really hate the "hero gets with the only main/notable female character" trope because it's so, so damn boring and R/H subverted that. I also liked the…

I like Ron and Hermione together! Sure, they're not the perfect couple, however, Hermione needed someone more easygoing to keep her balanced. It would've been terrible if she married another A+ personality,she would've had a coronary before the prologue even happened!

Er... What??

Suuuuuure.

That last paragraph is just the kicker. Hollywood attempts to be so progressive in things like its politics, the environment, etc. But it reveals how incredibly backwards it actually is when it comes to things like abuse (in all forms). Nice, powerful white men are forgiven - even supported - by the Hollywood…

The parts of his personal life that he admits to proudly are profoundly disturbing. That there are worse parts he won't admit to is not surprising to me. I make it a point every time someone mentions Woody Allen to bring up his marriage; the rationalization from people I view as smart and empathetic is so upsetting.…

This killed me, "Have you forgotten me?"

This fucker. I really hope everyone who has ever worked with him sees this and takes a long, hard look at how important their fame is.
