I had to read The Feminine Mystique for a grad school class on women’s history, I borrowed / stole a copy from my then-girlfriend. It was the Georgia O’Keefe copy, full of my GF’s high school baby lesbian feminist angry marginalia about “the patriarchy.” I will cherish that copy forever, it feels like such an…
So so agree. I was an attorney for children’s services in NYC and the poverty and completely disproportionate effect on minority families is just heartbreaking. It always struck me too that no matter how bad things were at home, if you asked a kid where they wanted to go it’s always with mommy and daddy. And removals…
Maybe it’s just me, but I never looked at a Barbie doll and thought “I want to be that skinny with big boobs and a small butt.” Ever. I was a skinny, scrawny kid who grew up to be a curvy, big-boobed girl with an ass and hips. I don’t look back at my Barbie as some sort of “figure” I needed to achieve. I was just…
My sister-in-law went on a soft pretzel kick during one of her pregnancies. My now-6yo niece absolutely hates it when we joke that she’s mostly pretzel.
It’s really not. Cheerleading is a highly gymnastic sport with an injury rate far higher than football.

I went to an Ivy League school and some of the dumbest, least aware people graduated alongside me. Related: some of the smartest, most insightful people I’ve met have never stepped foot inside a college classroom. So much of it is about opportunity, what is the right life path for a person, emotional intelligence, and…
The worst part was the scene where they showed the storm blow in the HAB material covering the exploded door even though it should have been holding back approximately 100 tons of air pressure. Also, what kind of voodoo tape was used to put that on in the first place? Plus I was rooting for all the characters to die…
For a guy who attended Harvard for a little while, he certainly sounds like he graduated from Harvard.
How hard what it be for him to say something like:
An accurate distinction, and also the fact that it’s left out of their rhetoric completely, which further normalizes the behavior of affluent people, and de-legitimizes that of poor (read also: black) people.
Go PP, start filing a mess of lawsuits against these egregious liars.
Why not investigate options to perhaps file one for fraud for the falsified videos that started the whole witch hunt in the first place?
“It shows that to really be in a relationship with someone, you have to unleash the real you...”
I cried SO HARD when he stayed, and Gretchen finally felt SOMETHING. Because, i know exactly how she felt.
I’ve been waiting for someone, anyone to write about this season. I adore this show and it doesn’t look like too many people are watching it, which is 1) disturbing because it’s so good and 2) worrying because I want a third season.
I thought it was incredibly brave and unexpected of them to have so many episodes where…
I ugly cried in the scene where Jimmy builds her a blanket fort and she realizes he’s staying. I mean, fuck him for making out with bar-chick, but the eventual outcome was golden.
I ADORE this show, and have really appreciated how Gretchen’s depression is played. I sat beside my partner, who has not yet seen one of my black dog times (it’s inevitable, it’s been three years since I’ve had one), and cried as she lay on the couch just staring.
I need milk and my tea and cheese in a whole bunch of things everything.
because that's literally what america is: a landmass of freaking uncoordinated toddlers.
