All of this...just one thing I wish Shane would have used Male country artists to compare Lil NasX to because Kacey and Maren are in the middle of the charts and country radio barely plays them because they are too “progressive”. It’s mostly a white cis male dominated field.

What the fuck is this? You’re asking child sexual abuse survivors for more receipts? Holy hell, this is not a good look. “Anecdata” from one or two people who swear they remember the dates of their OWN abuse does not erase the experiences of survivors who cannot recall dates and times with the kind of accuracy you’re…

Rephrasing your argument:

TIL #1: abuse victims are supposed to have an eidetic memory and bullet journal their trauma, lest their credibility be torn apart.

OF COURSE healthy people make money for pharmaceutical companies. Truvada (the current prophylaxis drug to prevent HIV) is about a mortgage and half payment a month. Do you think Gilead would rather let people get AIDS and eventually die because they can “make money off you” OR collect that $3K/mo/patient forever (or…

Is this really how we are going to lose this election again? I’m sick of people equating that somehow being pro Biden means you are pro invading someone else’s space.  Can anyone criticizing Biden truly say they have never unintentionally made someone else uncomfortable?

I think you can in Europe. 

This.

The amount of writers that are celebrating 10 Things and publishing their thoughts that mirror my own about the film is, just... I know you can be overwhelmed, and you can be underwhelmed, but can you ever just be whelmed?

God, that dress was bad. But I loved the prom scene because it was the moment she finally showed love for her sister by punching Joey Donner in the face. 

I will say, as a more serious response - Claire Danes Angela in My So Called Life (1994) was a much firmer establishment of the ‘hot teen outcast girl’, and, for my late Gen-X

Agreed! Please don’t disrupt my 90s music nostalgia. But if anyone wanted to do a literary critique of “A Night Without Armor” that would be hilarious. I can also loan you my copy, yes I bought it, yes it was bad, yes I still love it.

Nope...Pieces of You still holds up. Those are just really nice songs and Jewel is a very talented singer.

I’ve heard Jewel herself say she dislikes that album in an interview a long time ago.  I, however, still like it.

This whole article smacks of internalized misogyny. 

Ahem its possible that is the only album I still know all the words too. And I still secretly love it. And still want to drive around country roads with my old best friend (who is insane) warbling along to it at full blast

I have not listened to Jagged Little Pill in a very long time, but don’t ruin it for me. What’s next on your list? Pieces of You by Jewel?

I’m sick of having nothing but bad choices but to me at least there’s a big difference between someone like Bernie who might be clueless but at least is pointed in the right direction and Harris who was a literal foot soldier for mass incarceration and the police state. Shit like this why people don’t vote at all.

I go to Epcot food and wine festival every year and it’s SO FUN. And every year, my sisters husband becomes lost and just wonders from country to country looking for us. This is such a believable story lol. 

When I saw ads and a quick clip from this show all I could think was “Why? It’s like Girls, but she has a kid? PASS.”
