Oooh girl, we’re all lucky you and I are never meeting in person. Fighting words.

My mild distaste for this fool and his total basicocity turned to white hot rage when he bragged in an interview that he’s never listened to a Radiohead album. You’re British yourself, you’re surrounded by generations of brilliant music. But please ignore it all, strum your banal awful music, hang out with Taylor…

Nope again. Beverly is still majority white (I just looked up the statistic of 60%), with the same tight-knit structure of traditionalism and a good deal of racism, but a bit more money, nicer homes, and growing integration than Mt. Greenwood. It has plenty of cops and fireman too, alongside lawyers, doctors, and more…

“Just as isolated from the rest of the city as if they lived in Wisconsin”? Come on now. Mt. Greenwood and Beverly are literally across the street from each other.

I’m almost done with my doctorate and I unabashedly love ellipses. I can’t stop, won’t stop. So I try to go easy on the other stuff. Ellipses: not just for the functionally illiterate!

You need to chill. There are many more important things in this story than your partisan nonsense and your preferred timeline. You’re not the police, you’re not the victim’s family, and you’re not the editor of Jezebel. Go write in your journal about this grave injustice to YOU and leave everyone else out of it.

As a historian, may I tell you:

Because she was unconscious and unresuscitated on the plane for fifteen minutes. It’s too long. :(

Fuck off

Plus David Arquette.

It’s not my job to teach a man my decades of study in my field OR the law, boo boo. I don’t owe you an education. Pull yourself up by your tough guy military bootstraps and seek information for yourself, rather than coming from the ignorant position and presuming to lecture an expert in a field. I don’t interrupt your…

You’re wrong, and since it’s my field, and not yours, I will be the judge of what’s a “silly” or “not silly” legal perspective. Feel free to chime in again when you’ve studied entertainment law or the legalities of gender in the workplace.

You literally know nothing about what you’re talking about, and anyone who works in actual performance industries or entertainment law could educate you. Or as I did explain some things to you, as an expert in this field. But you prefer to pull the misogynist, swinging dick card of “let me tell you how things work”,…

Your condescension is really cute, but let me help you. I’m a historian of women in performance and I have done extensive research on contracts in the contexts of women who perform with their bodies.

But... how? What is the possible illogical train of thought that leads to it being... Obama’s fault somehow? Or whose? I am fascinated as this is 60% purely horrifying and 40% hilarious.

For what it’s worth, I have never seen it that way. I think it makes a grotesque out of Trump, rightly so. It’s pretty rough and anything but soft or flattering. There’s a reason he hates it so much, after all, no?

Do you know the power of NDAs in the Hollywood/media environment? Ie, these people are litigious cowards, in which their cowardice is buoyed by their fear of litigation above all.

Haha, thank you so much for this, one of my favourite movie quotes of all time.

Becauuuuse.... maybe some people fully agree with you that different meat dishes taste good, some of whom even grew up eating them so they know what they taste like- but have ethical, moral, or gross-out dilemmas about eating the dead bodies of slaughtered animals? Just a guess?

I also have a politician in a bookstore story! Well, I have lots of famous people in this bookstore story, because it was in an airport, after security... but I will tell this one.
