You know you just engaged in a form of “tone-policing” as in telling him how he should dress to set the tone.

And do you know those people’s histories or current circumstances? Is it not possible they once had wealth, but hmm 🤔🤔🤔 maybe a recession occurred and now they’re scrapping by and these are the last of their nice things? Or maybe they had deserved disability payments withheld and finally got back payment for them…

This. Classism, racism, sexism, ableism, and arguably ALL the isms and phobias are tools of the wealthy to keep their power. Getting rid of one does not get rid of the others and ultimately that ties back into who has power and how they wield it. All have to be tackled, at once, but too often those affected by one…

I’ve had a few celeb sightings, mostly while waiting for flights at LAX and hanging out in Venice Beach (because I grew up in rural North Carolina and Venice Beach is considered an exotic, taboo, hangout for those “bad types”. Of course I had to go to prove all the conservatives wrong—and the worst was some…

If someone can be convicted for encouraging suicide via text and phone calls, why then are none of these people arrested for enoucraging this? There’s got to be a line when it comes to this stuff. That poor baby could have LIVED had it not been for the choices of her mother and for the words of that group. 

I’m curious if you’re saying this from a place of wealth privilege?

Yes, this!

Exactly!

That’s really laughable that you’re comparing the two.  That’s the type of comparison that falls under “comparing apples to oranges”.

No to Toni Collete, no to Minnie Driver, no to Renee Zellweger, no to Charlize Theron, no to every actress/actor who gains weight for a role being considered “plus size”. CHOOSING to gain weight for a role is VASTLY different than people who live their everyday lives in bodies that don’t conform to what society says…

The 9th congressional district of NC—one that I technically could’ve registered in as I own my childhood home there, but currently renting in Raleigh—is so much more than the suburban white woman voter. This is a district that includes the Lumbee tribe—which has been poorly treated by all sides, including other…

I, too, always read the recaps to determine if it’s too scary. I think the only one that has scared me/grossed me out just from the recap is human centipede. I knew it would be the first mentioned here and just scrolled right on past cause even mentioning it is too much.

It’s not that women can’t open their own doors.

Your first sentence is what I’ve been thinking since this was regurgitated.

Except you don’t know where she’s put her $$$$$ and that means more than anyone’s words.  Everyone can say all kinds of stuff--look at Brett Kavanaugh promising Susan Collins he won’t touch Roe v Wade--but it’s their actions that really matter.  And based on what we do know that she’s put her $$$ to (and only because…

Yes to the country fan base motive. She’s very clearly intelligent in her business decisions and if she has always been a Democrat (which I strongly suspect, or at the very least moderate independent), she knew from the first line on that Tim McGraw song that she needed to keep her mouth shut. She saw what happened to…

I miss her every time Taylor Swift is brought up.  

Personally, everyone who thought Taylor was Republican while Kanye was Democrat needs to get their political radars recalibrated. It is zero surprise that she votes blue and he is celebrating Trump. Zero.

Your point about Republican women is true, but probably not applicable to TSwift.

Doubtful. During the exchange with Senator Whitehouse (I think) and him talking about his queasy stomach and that ralphing stuff, the wife was making faces and shaking her head. She seemed not to be able to hold back at that point. Her body language speaks volumes. And it wouldn’t be surprising if she’s in an abusive…
