I enjoyed the jukebox with the plea to “Make Jukeboxes Cool Again”

I have a weird belief that I will die choking on a gummi bear or gummi-product. And yet my spouse keeps giving me gummi vitamins...makes me wonder sometimes.

As a white person who owns a collie, I can assure you that collies, while beautiful and mostly chill, can get rough. I would not want to be on the wrong side of my dog if he got well and truly pissed.

N.K. Jemisin is a genius in a field (science fiction writing) where people of color can rarely, if ever, get the door to open enough to stick a foot in and women of color find the door nailed shut. And yet this brilliant woman, who will most likely win the highest prize in science fiction writing for the third year in…

Dystopian fiction rarely ends with any like catharsis. It is usually Winston Smith acknowledging that 2+2=5. To be fair, this episode would make a fitting end for June’s story.

I made it through about 20 minutes of Rise’s pilot before turning it off. As a high school theatre teacher, I was blown away by the complete lack of anything approaching reality or even basic research. There is no world where a production of Grease that was already off-book and into costume runs would be scrapped…

But most people don’t know a trans person. Most people know the simulacra of trans people that media feeds them, but we are still quite rare all things considered. I’m always happy to be the trans person that people know and they may play my card as they will, because at least I give them a real person to contrast…

At the end of his campaign, there should be an illustrated book that lovingly depicts each of these descriptions. I would buy such a book.

Trolling.

So your mental illness, mostly defined by the douchecannon proposition that because you live in New York, you have some special gift to redefine people as you will, discount the lives of others based on some random nonsense about stereotypes of which you obviously have no clue, which is strange because the transgender…

Aw, sure you can. You’ve already admitted to being a mentally ill douche canoe. Your denial comes from a deep fear of the trans, that trans people are secretly all around you and that you may be attracted to one.

Mentally ill douchebag transphobe? Sure. You be that.

How about douchy transmisogynist?

I don’t disagree with you. I just don’t think there will be a large enough wave of not giving a damn to support a sea change in the way people inevitably judge others so that even if you attempt to remove yourself from the social need to look a certain way, should you wish advancement, your appearance will be judged.…

Do you know if you dress in athleisure attire, you can burn additional calories sitting on the couch?

Good luck with that! I believe that even in the inevitable post-apocalypse, attention will be paid to appearance, probably more so due to the limited breeding stock. Standards of beauty will change, however.

Gender and sexuality are different. There are plenty of gay folks who have no time for trans.

I kind of want to be exiled to the desert, just so long as it’s not near Phoenix I was already exiled to Phoenix for 8 years and finally pardoned for good behavior. Can I be exiled to a nice desert, like Palm Springs? Do we get to choose?

No. That is wasteful, plus the bristles are too stiff. Just take your old toothbrush and boil it to sanitize it and remove remnant bits of toothpaste and plaque.

It happens. Progressives say things that piss people off on college campuses as well. Not as often as conservatives. But really, I don’t believe it fair to call Ms. Greer conservative. She may be a TERF (trans-exclusionary radical feminist), but not a conservative.
