Geeze, for that kind of money they can open their own school. Let me know if you guys need an art teacher, lol. I’m not a close-minded prude! 

*sobs*

What, like “Exodus: Gods and Kings Portrayed White in a Land Traditionally Peopled With Humans of Color?” Sounds fucking awesome, why wouldn’t we all sign up for that?  

I absolutely disliked Kylo and was on the #WheresRey train two years ago—and wrote hot takes about how stupid Disney was to try to frame KR as the protagonist of TFA, when REY obvs, is the one we identify with.

I just wanted to second this observation: “If you can’t tell a black woman raising a black kid with asthma how your policies will combat environmental racism, you can’t claim to be a political revolutionary.” A couple of years before he ran in the primary, Sanders came out to Richmond, CA, where I used to work, and…

Like anyone who lives in San Francisco would be caught dead near Fisherman’s Wharf.

Just think, I was 25 and in grad school when this happened. It’s what has frustrated me with the cottage industry of younger alt-fem blogs and publications that assert that one’s feminist creds are totally revoked by supporting Hillary for President because obviously only a totally edge-lord lady-candidate that will…

When did this practice even get started? I worked two shitty bookstore jobs before 1998, and we would have burned the places down if they’d done this on-call shit. This should be against federal law. Retail is horrible enough, but the social contract for shit-work generally means contiguous hours. I was shocked when I…

This shit isn’t going to stop until the world understands that this behavior is bigotry. Dehumanizing, woman-hating bigotry. They weren’t “mean,” they treated members of half the human race like they were meatcake and were upfront about it. “Mean” would be my calling them greasy-mitted fucks with Hitler Youth haircuts…

I never did see this one. I saw Gummo a few years later though, and that movie pretty much ruined my year, so I was never tempted to go back to Kids.

No, about 50 and a woman. She paused and handed me a kleenex from the podium.

Similar here: met when we were 27, married each other in our 40’s. Some of us love each other but are just lazy and hate planning big life events? We had a sweet courthouse wedding. I cried through the whole thing.

Was John Boyega not allowed to speak? Kind of a sad omission.

The older I become, the more pissed off I am. Elderly women in the US have the highest rate of poverty—the women of our mothers’ generation were right to be angry. They are still suffering the ill-effects of discrimination.

I sat next to a woman at an airport gate reading on her phone and noticed the Jezebel logo at the top. I stopped myself remarking on that since I was technically being a snoopy creeper and didn’t want to turn the situation into a potential future Jez entry, which would be too meta for words. But hey, woman in the…

I love Jenny and Ian. I’m glad they put in some good Ian scenes too—he’d be an easy character to overlook. I was hoping they’d spend some more time with the paintings and who painted them. Ellen hasn’t gotten much attention yet! I know they have to make tough choices on what to portray in an hour—I was listening to…

Speaking as a cis woman, those are some heavy patriarchal spores you’ve inhaled. I don’t hang out with women who feel you have to pass a certain criteria for womanhood in order to be gender-acceptable. I don’t think I’d want you at any of my parties.

Wonderful interview! I’m a sucker for wool and earthy tones. This interview prompted me to buy yarn for a cowl. (Crochet pattern on this woman’s awesome blog here. Some day I’ll learn to knit, but I have enough other hobbies that I neglect, so I’ll stick with what I know for now.)

Meh. I guess this is a sign that I’m old...the thought of chest hair and food does not entice. Now a restaurant staffed by Highlanders, there I would eat. Gotta love a guy that comes with his own blanket.

Swooning and tearing up at this episode is a perfectly logical response. :D
