Everyone who rolls their eyes at terms like “rape culture” and “misogyny” is an enabler to this kind of violence.

Anyone who uses the phrase “political correctness” is basically on the same wavelength as fundamentalist Christians who complain about the “war on Christmas.” Yes, we get it, you don’t like the fact that it’s no longer cool to make derisive jokes about anyone who’s not a cishet abled white male. Grow up and adjust, or…

If I were a multimillionaire, I would hire a female scientist to create a specially formulated lube which, when it came into contact with a dick, caused the penis-owner to lose all ability to take Republican/Tea Party/Libertarian ideas seriously. Then I would hire an intrepid and talented troupe of sex workers to…

The gender stereotypes in this are right out of Everybody Loves Raymond. Not one of her better skits.

There are a lot of cops for whom “Bad Lieutenant” functioned as a recruitment ad.

Women of her generation (and, sadly, quite a fewer women younger than her as well) felt they were only being “realistic” (and therefore wise) to play by the rules of rape culture. Before people started calling it “rape culture”, people didn’t see it as a violent worldview, but as natural law, like gravity. Easy enough…

BTW, for anyone not familiar with her work, Nicola Griffith is an amazing writer, whose writing spans multiple genres—historical fiction, sci-fi, and mystery. The awards she has won (Tiptree, Lambda) signify interesting work, rather than awards that only reinforce white cishet male norms.

If there’s any justice, this is how Scott Walker will appear in his next lifetime.

My wife told me recently that one of her exes asked her to dress up and talk like Mr Rogers before donning a dildo. I had not previously known that lesbian sexual Mr. Rogers cosplay existed, but given the cardigans, I guess it makes sense.

Says something about cultural attitudes that the two fictional couples most often invoked as avatars of romance are Romeo & Juliet, Cathy & Heathcliff, as if jealousy and melodrama furnish proof of “true love.” Senior year in college, one of my housemates got involved with a (practicing) alcoholic and their dramatic…

Even better: pick and eat the dandelion greens, much cheaper than buying greens at the grocery store. You can also dig the roots and dry them, then grind them to make a tea that has a chicory-like taste.

Why isn’t there already a movie or mini-series or whatever about her life?

In a Kill, Fuck, Marry scenario, I’d choose him for Kill. Unless he signed a prenup guaranteeing me half of his net worth ($4.9 billion according to Forbes), in which case Marry.

In case anyone tries to use the “but feral cats kill birds, so getting rid of them is good” argument:

I’d prefer the headline “Pat Robertson Severely Injured in Bizarre Anal Sex Ritual” so he can live to experience the ensuing shame.

I want this relationship written into the show immediately. I would love to see a lesbian power couple on GoT!

Through the other end of the telescope, for those of us who are already old, IDGAF clothes are the mark of successful passage out of extended adolescence. The people I feel sorry for these days are the ones who desperately strive to appear fashionable. If they are under 40, this is excusable on the grounds of…

If you photoshopped a sleeve tat, some eyeliner, and rainbow hued hair on these pics, she'd look like a lot of fashion bloggers

She should have staged a mysterious disappearance from public life or faked her own death or something about 15 years ago. That would be better than turning into Norma Desmond.

From personal experience: most people who can be described as "charismatic" should not be trusted too easily. Con artists and psychopaths are charismatic, wielding their charisma to achieve their own ends. Charisma too often goes along with selfishness and egotism. I've learned to look for and trust genuine kindness…
