The problem is that it was being displayed in a Native community. The thought that some random white guy with no connection to our culture would come here, to our back yard, and create something like this to ‘educate’ the community....we ARE the community. We KNOW what happened and it’s not a statement of solidarity…

Taylor 2020: ‘Pizza First!’

I want to add that the patriarchal oppression of menstruating women is not the sole purview of white culture. I am a native woman and do not practice my tribe’s religion specifically because there is a huge constraint regarding periods. It’s infuriating and offensive to me but it’s still pushed as a ‘tradition’.…

sorry for three, i just love her so goddman much

ah, I forgot about him, you’re probably right. Well that’s creepy as shit too!

The greatest thing about Al Franken (among so many great things) is that sometimes, if you call and leave a message for his office regarding a specific thing, he calls you back. It happened to me once, no lie, and we chatted for about 5 minutes before he thanked me for my engagement and promised to keep my point of…

Ohhh, I know who’s hand this is...

I had no idea there was a movie of Suite Français! I just finished the book and truly, it is the most beautiful and heartbreaking read but then you find out the conditions under which the author wrote it - on the run for her life, trying desperatly to keep her daughters from being captured by the Nazis and it becomes…

On that note, I don’t think Tillerson would be an apocalyptic president either. I mean, yes, he’s a soulless oil tycoon with all the charm of a cement mixer but he comes across as an overwhelmingly pragmatic man. His skill set consists almost entirely of making risk-averse deals to further the interests of his…

It’s short but have you seen this?

okay but can a white lady in yoga pants please call me an ambulance because I think I just had a heart attack while gazing into that farmer’s eyes.

I was in London during the 2005 bombing - I was actually on the train when it happened (two stations away). I felt the bomb go off, the train went dark and everyone fell to the floor. Then we backed up to the last station and evacuated, they were shepherding everyone on to busses to get us away from the train station…

It’s a very different kind of humor than 2000's Chappelle. His whole approach is more thoughtful, the jokes intersect fluidly and he has evolved his narrative style; while he still incorporates his punchline/impressionist bits, the whole set is more focused on storytelling. Even though I didn’t love a lot of the…

Great reporting going on here - it’s really important to break apart where these guys are commenting, the context and the community. You don’t have to be internet fluent to be grossed out by this kind of behavior but it helps to have a well mapped argument. Like, yes dude, you are free to write/post whatever you want,…

Anthology shows are cool and the genre is new - The Young Pope was wacky in the extreme and I loved it but if we’re returning to the world, it would be more fun to see the system from an entirely new perspective. I’m saying I would rather see The Young Nun.

Sidebar, Kellyanne’s sleazy husband is Trump’s pick to lead the Justice Department’s civil division. What’s that you say? The same George Conway who tricked Monica Lewninsky and sold her story to Matt Drudge?

What is that on the pram above the rosettes? Because from here, it looks like she cut out pictures of her and Donny’s heads from a magazine and pasted them on as extra decoration. Which seems about right.

I’m so glad this article was written (and so well!). Just last week I was shocked by my extremely liberal mother’s reaction to hearing that one of my best friends is in an open relationship. She was truly upset, convinced that a open or poly romance could never work - and nothing I said could dissuade her. She…

It’s Bannon - he has no respect for any institution and tearing them down is a high he keeps chasing. He’s main-lining discord right now, mega juiced with this new anarchy fix. His machinations are the easiest to spot because they are the cruelest, his fingers are deep in this Comey pie. The ideology of Bannon’s…

Slate’s Trumpcast covered the conflict of Rosenstein’s reputation vs. actions really well last night. The guy who was interviewed was just...sad. Sad for Comey, who has had a long career in public service and deserved some dignity, for Rosenstein, who will never regain the respect of his colleagues, and mostly for the…
