There were significantly more POC in the show than I remembered, but this is probably why: none of the roles were significant.

I also worry about the long-term effects on these kids. Like, I can’t imagine how traumatic it would be to live through a school shooting, lose friends and classmates (and frankly, probably also people you didn’t really like, which has its own complicated emotions), and then have to mourn so publicly and under such…

I bet there’s something to that, too. Also, to make this even shittier, it sounds like Tran was just a delight to work with and genuinely a nice, friendly person. I hope this doesn’t ruin acting for her or her love of Star Wars. I also hope that the cast supports each other, and it seems like Mark Hamill and Carrie…

I agree completely. Like, I was never a big Star Wars person in the first place, but I’ve been seeing the new ones, because... why not? And while I wasn’t totally crazy about Rose, she wasn’t bad. I found the pairing of her and Finn to be a bit shoehorned, and some of her starry-eyedness was not my personal…

My ex used to pee sitting down. It was one of the things I liked about him - his bathroom was also always quite clean, with no pee splatters (he was good people in general, but his cleanliness was great). So many dude’s bathrooms smell like pee, but they don’t notice it. I, too, vote for “sitting when you can”, or at…

I did try to keep that in mind while watching it - I’m glad the show existed! And there really are some good moments, like Miranda’s mother’s funeral, when Miranda has a breakdown about the bra that goes underneath the dress, or when Carrie expresses frustration about having to buy gifts and celebrate other people’s…

I was late on the Sex And The City train, watching it only a few years ago when I was sick. I was familiar with it - I knew character names/tropes and some of the highlights of it. It was a big deal in media, so I figured since I was stuck in bed anyway, I might as well.

You can use it for any party. It’s right there in the name!

I honestly really like having Facebook. I’ve moved a lot, and it’s nice to be in contact with people, even if we don’t live near each other anymore. It helps me maintain my international connections, too, so if I go to a conference or something, it’s easy for me to contact someone that I’ve been interacting with a…

The fella eating the rose at 1:14 is Tommy Cash, an Estonian rapper. We are all very proud of him. Kinda. Don’t take him too seriously if you look him up :)

Where I live, we have what we joke is the “nuclear milk” option: it’s been so sterilized and overprocessed that it hardly ever goes bad. If I buy milk in a normal liter, it’ll go bad, for sure. But nuclear milk? You can leave that shit in the sun for all it cares.

Thanks for acknowledging that not everyone even wants to pair up. I’m single because I really like it. If I want partners, then I’d be trying to do that. I’ve stopped hanging out with people who feel the need to couple me up with someone, because I really don’t mind being on my own.

Honestly, I’ve used cats and dogs as examples to help kids understand consent. We only pet the kitty when the kitty wants to be petted: if she runs away or hides, she doesn’t want to be petted and even if we want to pet her, it’s time to leave her alone. Maybe her tummy hurts. Maybe she’s sleepy. Maybe she just…

I legitimately confused him with Justin Trudeau, the prime minister of Canada, which was the only reason I clicked on this article. It was like, “wow, he... is a man of mystery, indeed”, and then I realized they were different people and I’m an idiot.

If you’ve never looked into it, some brands of (long-line) boxer briefs can be great for this - not the “boyshort” kind, because they’re too short and will just roll up. I wear them all year, because I’ve always had issues with rashes and irritation from my thighs touching, even as a little, super-skinny kid. They’re…

We did love our fancy opera dress, but we don’t really want to win. Eurovision is expensive as fuck to host, and we wouldn’t want to let anyone else host it for us, so... better to not win.

I didn’t like the lyrics of her early stuff, but I liked the retro doo-wop sound she had, and I have some of those songs on my mp3 player. Now, I can’t tell her apart from anyone else. It’s not bad or anything; it’s a generic pop sound that I like just fine and listen to it absentmindedly, but not something I usually…

I used to perform as a drag king, but honestly, it just got... really tired, really quick. You have such a limited range, in some ways, of the “kind” of masculinity you can play off in a theatrical way to keep the interest of the audience. About half the audience will peace out during a king performance - they’re…

I wasn’t offended by Wolf’s set, but a lot of it just didn’t quite land for me. She reminds me a bit of Jimmy Fallon laughing at his own jokes, which can work in certain contexts, but it made me feel like she wasn’t standing strong behind the things she was saying, and was anticipating backlash.

Oh, your poor daughter! Thank goodness she has someone like you in her corner. It might not feel like it now, but when she looks back, having a parent who believed her and supported her will mean the world. She did nothing wrong and someone did a shitty, violating thing. But on the plus side, she’s got a heavyweight…
