I am so confused. I don’t see anything in the preview shown here, or in the lyrics to “So Long, Marianne,” or anything else in his work, that indicates he failed to grasp her humanity. Yes, I have heard men put women on a pedestal in a way that feels like they don’t view them as fully human. I’ve never gotten that…

I don’t know; it sucks that part of your job is being the middle man between the higher ups who want everything done on schedule, and the people who live and work in the places your projects are being filmed in, but it’s inevitable that people are going to be jerks when told they can’t enter/exit their apartment/place…

The first three groups I mentioned; sure. The latter two? Those are the ones I’m worried about. Dictators hold power by gaining physical control of the state through the police force and military. If Trump convinces them to stand by him rather than by US law, then we’re all fucked.

You better pray it doesn’t come to that. Who has the gun nuts, the militias, and the neo-nazis? Who has spent his entire time in office courting the police and military with expensive presents and lavish praise? There’s not even a chance it would be a winnable war.

I just remembered it was called Lady Lovely Locks and the Pixietails, but it was from the mid-80s. I forget how old I am!

I’m trying to remember a similar series from the same time frame, which I always thought was this one but apparently isn’t. I remember a coloring book and maybe paper dolls. There were five princesses and all of them had a designated color, with matching dresses, streaks of hair, and woodland creatures in the…

I’m stoned with too much time on my hands, so naturally I spent an hour rewriting the last season in a way that has narrative flow and reason. This will probably never come out of the grays but hopefully someone is amused by this because I’m actually able to cope with the disappointment by just imagining a more…

Imagine this- after the White Walkers kill her dragon and she comes back to rescue Jon, she decides she’s done fighting that battle and she’s leaving for King’s Landing. Jon, being blindly in love with her and also feeling indebted to her for saving his life and guilty for getting her dragon killed, decides to follow…

Nah, they didn’t have to spend three out of six final episodes on reunions and goodbyes which served no plot purpose and only stoked fan desires. There’s a lot of narrative development you could have crammed into the 3/4 hours that weren’t episodes three and five, but instead we got dragon rides and 2500 shots of…

What happened to Elizabeth Warren, though? I thought everyone was on board with that option and now we’re out here acting like Biden has always been the only choice?

I don’t know, I can see Lisa’s point of view: the Toms entire role is representing the personality of the bar, as she mentioned. When she jokingly chides them for flying off to Mexico at the same time as opening a new bar, she is selling her image for Tom Tom. Young, jet-setting, rich, carefree hot dudes who are so…

Bran warged into the crows to get up close enough to the Night King to warg into him, in order to bring them closer together so that one of them can kill the other- as is necessary due to their supernatural bond- one being the fucked up tool of the children of the forest and the other being the king of the children of…

I’m sorry, you don’t get to be the mouthpiece for queerness when you use that very same interview to say that feeling a sense of power means that you have a “male energy.” You couldn’t be any more adherent to gender stereotypes than that.

Yes!! I’ve had so many dudes try so hard to get me to “squirt,” pulling out all kinds of crazy moves and I’m just like “what you are trying to replicate is not a real thing, so can we please just give it a rest?” But it’s like telling a kid Santa doesn’t exist. I did a fistpump when I saw the headline, no joke, and…

Yeah, good luck staying free of sick people when 100% of service workers get zero sick days. Even in my state, which recently allotted sick days to all employees (including service industry), you’re still not likely to get a pass for calling out sick unless you’re vomiting or in the hospital. The workplace culture…

Clearly you didn’t read the ones where Kirsten’s best friend died of cholera or Samantha’s best friend died after getting her hair sucked into a machine at the industrial plant where she worked. I’m still scarred!

As someone who was involuntarily committed at 18, I can attest to the fact that it IS shockingly simple to find yourself in that situation and it is also very difficult to get out. These are realities and I didn’t read that post as a defense of anything but more a statement that being given some time off is a nice…

YES I think I ended up there through this series a few years back and still think about it all the time. Usually these stories read as obviously fake but something about those ones were just so engrossing and believable.

Don’t bring Nabokov into this mess! The book, in contrast to the movies, paints a very vivid picture of a monstrous abuser and his captive. She despises him.

Not hard at all! Asia Argento had some skeletons in her closet and was also dating a suicidal depressed person. Two separate things.
