Well, for one thing we usually don't have video tapes of rapes occurring, do we? And as far as I know, they have been shown in the media with graphic warnings in advance. We tend to conceal names of rape victims, but more and more media outlets are moving away from that, too, as a matter of consistency. We publish the…

Because it's hard to leave. Women who try to leave an abusive situation are 8 times more likely to be killed when they leave.

I'm seeing all sorts of concern trolling over social media that replaying the video over and over is "revictimizing" Janae and that we should stop sharing it everywhere because it's a "private matter" between the two of them.

I do. It's one of those wellness things that my insurance company provides/covers, so I'm taking advantage of it. It's nice to have someone to run by all my "but what about [latest news article about what's healthy]" questions, and to help make meal plans.

The email wasn't directed at me specifically; just at all of…

Seriously; I heard about this first from my nutritionist with a "nope." :)

My nutritionist preemptively says no in an email. Not just to me; I'm supposed to tell you all this as well.

I hope this is an interactive exhibit where I can color over his work with buckets of red paint.

I was just going to ask - "So, is there Booty in that?" But you answered my question. Just to be safe, I won't play that at work.

What's up with all the platinum blonde in the last two weeks? Not just Jena and Zosia but also Dianna Agron, too.

I walked by the cardboard cut out of Phil Robertson at Walmart (I was dragged there when shopping) and punched it in the face, knocking it down. Then I rolled over it with my cart, and no one did a thing! I kept going, people glanced over, shrugged, and went on. For all I know, Phil is still lying on the floor outside…

I'm not sure I understand that. She's not playing "Peter Pan, adult woman." She's playing "Peter Pan, tween boy." There's not really any sexual element to the story line or character at all. Unless you think that all adults are sexual all the time?

No, it's for screen readers. People with vision impairment regularly use screen reading software to navigate the web. The detailed image descriptions are read aloud. I regularly write these sorts of image descriptions, and use Jaws and other screen reader software to test our online content.

That's her jaw, unphotoshopped.

As a person on the spectrum between male and female, when people have such gender-normative reactions when something jumps outside of their prescribed "men & boys are this" and "women & girls are this" and there's no allowance for deviation from those two, it can be difficult/problematic/dangerous for me because I…

It reads pretty much like the text I routinely write for our images, though. I design and produce content for an education company, and quite a bit of our descriptive text for images is like this - it's a requirement for people with visual impairments. I do the writing, and it's edited by accessibility specialists.…

Wow - what shit are you expecting her to take? She's a good actress and an excellent singer. She should be able to pull this one off. Is it the cross-gender casting that's a problem for you? And why do you think she needs Daddy to protect her? I don't think he's stepped in in any way for her role on Girls.

Yep. She's got a great voice. There are quite few videos out on YouTube of her singing with friends in college.

Any particular reason why? Is it a gender-binary thing that makes you uncomfortable with it?

I've seen one or two videos of her with friends at Yale. I should go hunt them down.

Looking around at other images on Today, it looks like they provide descriptive text for many photos for accessibility reasons. We're do that at my job for people with vision impairments.
