Kind of like how Ralph Nader “messed thing up” for Al Gore in 2000? Um, yay Bernie?

Especially people like Arquette who has gone on record for years supporting social justice issues. The attacks against her were utterly petty and mean spirited.

A had a roommate who always struggled to keep her weight down. When dining in a restaurant, she would make a huge production in front of everybody about “being good”and eating only a salad (with a giant coke) for dinner. Then she’d order cheesecake for dessert, announcing to everybody at the table, “because she’d been…

it’s obviously not the case for everyone but yeah...

At it’s extreme, this type of obsession with “clean eating” is called orthorexia. It’s a recognised disorder. When people get so involved in a certain type of restrictive diet, such as paleo, it can be really harmful. But often it’s not picked up, and people who are obsessive are celebrated as super-healthy role…

She’s not wrong. A multi-day cayenne pepper and lemon juice only ‘cleanse’ is to a person with disordered eating what a weekend long bender in Vegas would be for an alcoholic. It’s not healthy and the media should stop glorifying that type of thing.

It’s not just feminists that tear each other apart for minor syntax and semantic errors. It happens within most progressive social movements around equity/equality/Justice (I don’t know much about regressive or conservative movements and their infighting). I hate when allies get attacked for not being perfectly in…

What really needs to change is shitting on people with good intentions and start shitting on people who actually deserve it.

I guess I’m naive but I didn’t think her speech at the time was excluding any women. I though it was a speech that brought attention to the wage gap of all women especially in her industry in which she is involved and knows first hand. Why does she now need to clarify her statements? Who is actually calling her out…

It was such a short amount of time, not to mention with the excitement of winning an Academy Award, for women to jump down her throat the way they did. Nobody should assume the worst at all times. The message she sent was powerful and necessary on basically highly watched show. And she has tried to make up for it.

TAL is the radio show that set the standard for every podcast we enjoy today. Engaging writing, excellent editing, topical, and—contrary to what the haters say—diverse, long before “diversity” was a thing anybody talked about much.

I love TAL. I’m not white, nor am I a liberal. I must be a unique snowflake.
