It’s so frustrating. We’ve known since 2003 that this was shady BS and that he was angry at her for being pregnant. How did we, his feminist audience, not drag him to shame then I don’t understand. 

For me, the worst part was when she felt guilty about Ray being fired because she still felt that if she’d said something, things might have been different, despite overwhelming evidence that nothing of the kind would have happened. 

I’m disappointed that someone who created three tv shows I’ve loved is such an asshole.

Any book that ‘speaks to [your] soul’ and helps you to verbalise your own feelings has some value. It’s just important to remember that there’s a difference between an inspirational memoir and an actual, fact-based study of general trends.

I agree! That season sucked and I had really enjoyed it up to then. The decision to have Cordelia and Connor get together was gross.

In the past, Carpenter has remained relatively silent about her working relationship with the director, despite rumors bubbling under that she had been fired for her pregnancy onset of Angel.

I’m so happy she is coming forward with her truth and she is healing. Even as an avid Buffy-Angel-Firefly fan, it was obvious what had happened to her even then. This is so, so disappointing from Joss but it is not surprising.

Oh, I know. I work in tech, but on the marcom side and my very first staff meeting I overheard two engineers talking, “Why do we even NEED comms people? Anyone can write at an 8th grade level!” This, of course, was right before I was introduced as the new comms person. And no. Not everyone can write at an 8th grade…

I shudder at the no SPF part. You are truly screwed either way? I’ve also heard that a lot of it is absorbed through the eyes - like, nope! Still gonna wear sunglasses.

It is hard to believe, but there are artists that young that talented. I am 52, and when I was in 4/5th grade there was a special class for gifted art students, and any one of them could have done the same quality of work at the same age as North.

just like everything else in life, the more stuff you learn to do yourself the more money you save. bought a condo so i wouldnt have to do any outside maintenance, only had to replace a water heater, washer, and dishwasher.

Whew. My knee-jerk reaction to this is so, so torn. I also went to a school for “troubled teens” and I also was woken up in the middle of the night to be transported across the country (first to a wilderness program in Utah, then back across the country -slightly- more willingly to a boarding school). It saved my…

Pop history in general is problematic because academic rigor is swept aside in an effort to tell a fun story. I’m still reeling over how the San Francisco Unified School District used Curbed articles and half-read Wikipedia entries and consulted zero historians in their Stalinist efforts to rename schools. I’m saying…

It’s even the simple things she gets wrong. It’s totally fine to go outside. I go outside every day. What’s wrong is being inside, maskless, in a large group.

Good grief, lady.

I came here to say exactly that. The Beauty Myth was very impactful to me. It was then I realized how much was invested in keeping girls & women: a) insecure, b)churning millions into an industry promising to “make us” beautiful & c)the flat out lies we’re told about products marketed to us. This is so frigging…

could we give him back his Twitter access for just one hour after this is released just to hear his thoughts? LOL

Honestly, I bought into the whole “buy a house” bullshit because I’d always heard you shouldn’t throw your money away on rent (and I’m fortunate to live in a low-housing-prices area) and I regretted it the second I signed the papers, and for much of every day since.

Is it, though? I have a rental apartment. The tenants cover my mortgage, but not maintenance fees or property tax; not to mention random stuff that happens (seemingly every month). It costs me $630 a month (assuming nothing happens needing repair) to have someone else live in that apartment. And I put 20% down. I only…

I’ll take my house over any of my former apartments. Also apartments in my area are easily 1.5-2x my mortgage payment. I’ll take the money in my pocket thanks.
