THANK YOU. And don’t pretend this isn’t some ploy to get back into the limelight again. CK wasn’t doing a free show to a 2oo seat venue because he was lonely. This is a toe in the water to try to regain fame. And the audience has every right to bite that fucking toe off. There are plenty of talented creative people…

Some days I really love being An Old so I have no idea who these harassing douchecanoes with extremely punchable faces are.

I turn 47 in 4 weeks. Now I need to figure out how to die ignominiously.

In other news, Basil has also been keeping busy by righteously suing everyone who has used “Hey Mickey!” without paying her—the offenders range from South Park to RuPaul’s Drag Race.

It might be because I’ve had 4 shots of vodka in the last hour, but I just want to say one thing: Men are the goddamn worst.

Which is actually pretty similar to federal law. The EEOC’s guidance says that you can take criminal history into account if it’s related to the job. So if someone got a DUI, but isn’t going to be driving as part of their duties, that’s probably not something an employer can use to disqualify the applicant. But if the…

All of this. I had no idea academia was so fucked up until I started working in it. So much is excused by “But they’re brilliant at their research!” Or even worse, “They were so brilliant 20 years ago. Saying/doing something now would tarnish their legacy.”

This right here. White people (I am one) think it’s a word. When I heard it growing up, I parroted it, thinking it had the same weight as saying “asshole”. As I grew up and learned more history I realized it doesn’t. It’s a weapon; it’s a verbal knife thrust containing years of terrorization.

Being good at one thing does not mean you are incapable of being an abusive asshole.

Yeah, this was a bit of bullshit. Academia is full of “Oh that’s just So-and-So. They’re a genius. That’s just the way they are.” It’s galling.

Not just one, but THREE of them. THREE presumably reasonably able bodied adults against one 87 year old woman with dementia who was not acting threatening.

This makes me wonder if there wasn’t a security threat and they’re just saying “Yeah, the toilets aren’t working. Gotta go back to NY!” Because it really makes no sense at all.

I hear what you’re saying, but you also don’t crush the dreams of the new guy in the office on the first day. This wasn’t a fan who saw Ru at a restaurant when Ru was trying to just be a person. Pearl was a brand-new co-worker telling her manager Ru that she admired her work.

To me, being an asshole constitutes more than the rejection.  It’s also about how you’re rejected. What about the responses women get after the initial rejection? In general those are more hurtful and caustic, i.e. “I didn’t want to date you anyway, you fat whore.” If a dude unmatches me, I don’t make sure to msg him…

“I was charged with a charge simply because I was there.”

1) Yes, asshole, sometimes that’s the way it works, especially with CHILD PORN. If you see a child getting sexually abused and you don’t stop it, you’re an accomplice.

2) If you upload the video of said child porn to your social media, you are not just an…

Right? As if tighty whities are sexy? When a male partner starts choosing his underwear based on what I find sexy, I’ll consider doing the same for him. Until then it’s based on what’s clean and non-binding.

I hope he rots in prison. It’s better than he deserves, quite frankly.

I named her Zoe. But as she aged and became more and more imperious, “Downtown Abbey” came on the air and a new name emerged. When she passed at 21, I had this portrait made of her. Folks of all genders, I give you...the Dowager Countess.

Fair, but that was a long time ago. She seems to have her act pretty well together these days.
