For what it’s worth, this man is a true genius.

Not debating that this is a case of clear cultural appropriation, BUT just want to say that LePage is responsible for writing and/or directing some of the most groundbreaking work I have ever seen, dealing with the subtleties of queerness, Natives and Settlers, the

In my opinion it’s because it’s a distraction from something else. Everyone, no matter which side you are on in this issue, reacts with sheer emotion, whether it’s “but... the CHILDREN!” or “this is how WW2 started!” or “illegals stay out or go to jail!”. It keeps us distracted while the fox is in the henhouse.

That’s because humans want other humans to have choices and be able to have safe and prosperous lives, and if they choose to be a sexworker in a profit driven society that values them primarily for their sex appeal, humans want other humans to be able to do that in a fair and abuse-free way.

It, to me, indicates the presence of the phrase “the captain goes down with his ship” in his mind. “Staying up” being the opposite of “going down.”

Know what I mean?

I agree with this assessment 100%. It also explains some of the negative “who cares about this side-character filler episode?” comments I have been reading. Like... I care, I fucking care. The show knows what it is doing, and the fact that if took its time to humanize and fully flesh out this one truly amazing

Is there any way we can detect who the male act was and what festival it was? If they fired their manager shortly after, and we had the date of that, that would give us a basic timeframe.

Like... what individual music dude gets paid ten times more than a 3 woman act at the height of their considerable fame? A... DJ?


Duppy was heat this I cannot lie about,
but this is Pusha T we talking about.
Drake spit his harshest in response
a foolish move if Push drips venom with his next drop.

That sentence is the truth. Thank you for articulating it. I made this so I would not forget and for you to share, if you’re into that sort of thing:

I love you.

That is all.

I see a guy who is lookielooing in the same way the guy with the gun is.

AMEN TO THAT.

But seriously, I have begun to really see “thoughts and prayers” as a form of abuse. Having a thought and saying a prayer is nothing - LITERALLY NOTHING - outside of a person’s own head. Like... those thoughts and prayers are just for you. And to parade around in public as if this selfish act that

Sharing this video posted on another thread, in reference to today’s shooting. Also sharing the same tip that moments of this are problematic, but what is expressed on the whole feels to me to be the clearest expression of the source and nature of toxic masculinity today.

Gee, I wonder if these incidents can call be

I need to give a bit of background to my encounter with a Dr. Gerber (saying his name, because at this point I’m like... fuck it, ladies: If you live in the GTA, avoid this guy, he’s a quack).

Literally coming here to cite a tv-static coloured sky. Best opening sentence of any story, ever.

I disagree that this is a boring season per se - I think they cast some interesting folks, the Ghost Island concept is a cool way to throwback to exciting moments and build in a legendary feeling, and in particular going from two to three tribes mixed things up. In particular I like Dom/Wendell, Laurel/Donathan as

Frankly so do business bros with thinning hair, AND wealthy old men who act like they know everything.

BUT.

The point still stands. Even if it’s made by white guys.

To all those confused about this, I say: Use your empathy.

I seriously feel like it’s possible that they don’t think we can see them.

Before I watched Call Me By Your Name I didn’t get it... He just looks so young and flopsy and full of himself. Then during the scene where they finally sleep together I actually had to pause the film and walk away for a bit because DAMN HOT, SO HOT, GNARRRR.

Now I see his picture and yes, flutter.

That Feb 2017 article you posted cherrypicked text from actually says nothing about men who have been convicted of sex crimes being housed with women.
