Trans people receive the same sort of violent threats constantly as well, but I don’t see anyone carefully tone-policing TERFs and similar conservative idiots.

Death threats are certainly alarming regardless of how they materialize,

Just here to say that a Karaoke version of Yello’s Oh Yeah is a phenomenally horrible idea and Parnell SELLS it. (“It” being what a bad idea it is.)

Tyler Perry should not be your benchmark for well-written characters who don’t fit a certain mold.

So call Sprectrum and say “I’M NOT WORRIED ABOUT IT! I’M NOT WORRIED ABOUT ANY OF IT!”

Pia Guerrera? Yikes! I’ve seen some bad spellings of her name but that’s the current champ. It’s Pia Guerra just like on the cover of the book and on our marriage license. 

Aside from the obvious bigotry at play here, I am immediately struck by the lack of any kind of common sense. If she thought that was her son’s phone, then why didn’t she call it?

Where do you think the “native population” of Hawaii currently works?  Do you think the economy of the islands will magically transform into a tech hub if people stop going there for vacations?  Tourism and the service industry are pretty major parts of the economy all around the world, not just in tropical locations,…

I haven’t taken a fucking vacation in like 10-15 years. When I have the time, motivation, and money, I’m fucking going somewhere pleasant.

you do not know much about how abuse and control work.

Yeah, it was pretty thoroughly discussed in the show. Allison’s got nothing left thanks to Kevin. He’s ostracized her from all of her friends, manipulated her jobs and had her fired from jobs that would have allowed self sufficiency, stole all of her savings from the bank, and left her with no support system, no…

I mean, it’s come up a few times that Kevin is actually a pretty controlling guy; he secretly spent their savings, he sends the cops after Allison when she’s very briefly gone (with notice, albeit not truthful notice).

Seriously Zack, if you don’t have the stomach to dip into D territory, you could at least have stretched down to a C.

Given how much the local economies rely on tourism it’s kind of a “fucked over regardless” situation.

I feel like the tone of this review seems to warrant a lower score than B-

All of the Little People, Big World books kind of end on a “and Prince taught us how to be ourselves” kind of stuff after sort of detailing what went on in the artist’s careers. Then, in the back, if your kid is darker, there’s a whole biography of them with a timeline, real pics, etc.

Fuckin’ stairs, man.

It’s just the standard hipster move of taking something that’s objectively good and pretending that you hate it in order to prove how cool and unique you are.  (The inverse works as well where the hipster takes something objectively bad and pretends to love it.)

That IS what’s wrong with it.

We’ve all earned the right to simply tell this man to shut the hell up
