I am not.

We did it! We beat racism! Good job, everyone.

Bingo. We don’t know what happened to her back in those days, if she’s not talking. But the climate for young girls in rock’n’roll was so dangerous back then, she’d’ve been extreeemely lucky if she did escape unscathed.

Good lord, this is the nicest comment section I have ever seen! I had to make an account just to say that. You are all really kind, who wouldn’t want a response like that? Lovely, thank you. I think maybe it’s weird to comment under your own interview but I’m doin’ it anyway.

This is typical GOP narrative. When Romney got caught making the 47% remark and all the Joe Sixpacks came out of the woodwork to say “I work three jobs and I don’t take handouts, etc” as a point of pride, rather than questioning why they weren’t paid a living wage so they didn’t HAVE to work three jobs to make ends…

it’s proven that i might be a dinosaur

Um, according to several studies, Americans are WAY more productive than we used to be, but its the corporations/CEOs who are the only ones seeing that sweet extra cash, not the workers.

Shut your stupid fucking mouth, you trust fund, nepotistic, born into privilege, entitled, condescending, disingenous, pretending to be Mexican, piece of shit.

I initially read the headline as Bill Cosby* which would have been a whole other story

I am fangirling so hard right now. I LOVE KATE BEATON IMMENSELY.

Exactly. The National Enquirer called “inconclusive” results a “bombshell revelation.”

Kate Beaton is amazing. No matter how down I feel, looking at Edgar Allan Poe’s puzzled expression as he reads the fanboy letter from Jules Verne just fills me with delirious joy. On Twitter a few months ago she was asking people for suggestions for tiny historical and literary figures to draw and I suggested Oscar…

It’s nice to see you openly endorsing genocide. I’d hate for you to lie to save face.

the only thing I can think of is that, as young girls & as observers, none of them had any concept how awful this shit really was. the girls who were abused didn’t say anything for fear of their careers & livelihoods – it stands to reason that the girls who witnessed abuse wouldn’t say anything for the same reasons,…

Cherkis points out, too, that Fowley always denied sexually abusing The Runaways, quoted in a 2013 band biography as saying, “They can talk about it until the cows come home but, in my mind, I didn’t make love to anybody in the Runaways nor did they make love to me.” And that may be right, in that “love” is no one’s…

“It was the seventies. Everyone was getting dogfucked by Fowley back then!” — Whoopi Goldberg

I hate all these celebrity paternity stories (this one, the constant rumors about Khloe Kardashian, etc.). Regardless of the DNA test, Bill Clinton is her father. That’s how parenthood works. Biological origins are useful for medical histories, and that’s about it; they are certainly of no use to the public. All of…

I expected more from the Buddhist

In short: No. It’s all about picking the best worst, including atheism. Any group that organizes into any sort of hierarchy will end up abusing someone. And even the anarchists organize something of a hierarchy. All you can do is work as hard as you can to make you, and the hierarchy you live in, better and more equal…
