Yuuuuuup.

wouldn’t you be a little too shy to confront a childhood hero? I know I would.

dude, ambien + vin is nothing to sniff at! My one encounter led to a very awkward night where I tried to convince my roommates that our house was actually a ship and that we were being attacked by pirates. I mean, they were awesome roommates and threw apples out the windows to defeat the intruders but good golly.

It’s worth reminding ourselves (and our partners! Although maybe Father’s Day isn’t the best day to do this) that we are among the first generations in human history to expect the same person you had kids with to satisfy you sexually until you die.

non-phone movie disruption story: went to see The Return of the King all those years ago and sat next to an older midwestern auntie-type who loudly sighed “Oh geez.” after every. damn. thing.

ah, well. you’re going to continue to get piled on because most people, having finished this powerful, affecting story, are feeling very raw. Your comment, which is right up at the top, appears small-minded and cruel. I know that’s not what you meant but it’s just how it comes across to many people. In your shoes, I’d…

What a powerful, important story. I’m so grateful to have read it and I hope that because of how honestly this woman articulated her experience, more women can feel empowered to talk about their own. The bravery of everyone from the patient & her husband to the doctors and nurses...it’s humbling and astounding.

I hate when guys like this dingleschnitzel and Trump use the deflection “I’m told” as if that absolves them from the responsibility of knowing the facts of the situation. If you are in a leadership position, you learn and then you know. This man can read, he is an adult, he can make an informed statement without…

ugh - they hide among us. I went on a few dates with this guy who seemed super nice and normal but then I mentioned offhand that I am pro-choice and he was like “I used to be...but then my college girlfriend had an abortion without my consent.” and he proceeded to tell me about how her decision to not carry his child…

Excellent

I’m sorry you’re struggling with this; I admire your faith and the actions you are taking. I agree we need to respect people’s reactions and give them space to find their moral compass but you are certainly among the very few who contribute with deeds as well as feelings.

Other possible allies:

Yes - no offense at all but let’s just envision a reboot with Danai and Dwayne Johnson as B&TB. Romance, strength and love. Swoon.

Oh, with the roses! Yes! Delightful.

This dude is just terrible at reading from a teleprompter. I can only imagine his people trying to get him to practice:

Jimminy crickets, Danes can slay. Also LUPITA.

season 3 got weird and I didn’t connect with it the same way as the earlier ones but it ended with a development that set up a fantastic premise for season 4. So I’m back on the Litchfield express and looking forward to this weekend!

I actually was wondering about that the other day. A theory I have is that the ‘hate speech/harassment’ tag could be a data collecting tool to see what the community defines as each. It would be so interesting (and depressing) to see how people flag troll comments and if it changes over time.

yesssss - was introducing them with that whole story about the chimp supposed to make us think the women were crazy? indulgent? selfish? delusional? I loved the concept of Gigi’s paradise but when it came to specifics, it felt like the writers were judging the women’s traumas through a male lens. It was a frustrating…

Yeah, if he’d just actually been her brother, their teen trauma would have remained just as horrifying and meaningful to both of them. The romance seemed overwrought and diluted the impact of Moss’ excellent performance. I hope he doesn’t follow her to season 2!
