The main character authors a novel and then has to defend it against these same charges. Because a woman writes it, and it features women’s perspectives, her book fights for respect and is routinely dismissed in the most patronizing of ways. Except in Ferrante’s telling, that author is naive about how her book is…

Oh my God, am I going to have to clock out of work and log on to Kinja just to defend this series to all of you?? :) I’m almost done with book #3, and I’m peeved that these books are sold as JUST a story about friendship. It’s true, they are fabulous at depicting the ways relationships influence us...but these books…
“But Sandro Ferri, Europa Editions’ publisher, says the covers were not an accident of too many cooks in the design kitchen, but rather a conscious choice. Writes Ferri in an email to Quartz, “The ‘vulgarity’ is our intention. We don’t want to make the typical ‘literary’ cover designed for an audience of…
I was working at a popular electronics store when a customer came in to buy his wife a really fancy scale for mother’s day. I couldn’t talk him out of it. He just kept telling me “she’s been feeling really out of shape lately, and this will be great to help her get back on track”
So Kristen Stewart is....Taken?
Susan Sarandon is a queen and Piers Morgan needs to grovel at her feet like the peasant he is. That tbt tweet, my God, she's amazing.
Your comments are the longest comments I’ve replied to, I swear.
If you want to be a tv or film writer, creating female characters with depth who are more than plot devices and have agency should be competency, not excellence.
Huge kudos to James Corden for breaking out some solid harmony with FREAKING ADELE. I can carry a tune, but I think if I attempted to harmonize under that kind of pressure, she’d just give me a kind, “Shhhh.... just no, luv. Tanks.”
“Can you believe that we’re both sitting in this Oval Office?”
I’m gonna miss Obama. I think, once the shackles and limitations of being Potus are gone he’s gonna do his best work for this country, much like the wonderful Jimmy Carter.
Whatever, I’m here for it. I appreciate Willow and Jaden and their “weirdness”. I appreciate folks in the limelight who show the multiplicity of Blackness. We will have little Black kids who see themselves as weird/different/eccentric, who don’t fit their peers idea of what it means to be Black (and yes, this even…
Thor82 - you are exactly right! My birthday is January 2 and it is the WORST. All the reasons you list are 100% correct. And don’t get me started on the well-meaning friends who suggest “just celebrate your half birthday on June 2.”
Last night’s show was great. Fey, Poehler, Maya Rudolph, Amy Schumer, Paul McCartney, and all those painful faces Springsteen makes when he performs. Stellar night.
Me too! This is my Star Wars.
not gonna lie: tears welled up in my eyes and I had ZERO control over them.
Rami Malek is awesome. There’s a scene in Mr. Robot where his character is suffering from drug withdrawal and he nailed it. Also his reaction shot to the car trunk thing and Shayla.
I should have been more clear - I definitely meant for the firey, biting ant covered cactus to penetrate him.
Q: Is this the same boy as last time?
