I’m going to be honest.... I take Metformin and it gives me explosive diarrhea... every single day at about the same time. It just keeps going and going—- once it gets started there is no stopping it.

Besides personal shame... I’m trying to bestow mercy on my co-workers so they don’t have to hear and smell that…

Obvious etiquette breach here.

See, I feel like people are being pretty judg-y about this. I have health issues that mean my digestive system occasionally just shuts down and my food basically just rots in my intestine. Once I start pooping again, that shit is unbelievably foul. But I’m pooping wherever I am because holding it in can trigger the…

Once I was in the loo at the airport and I farted. A woman in another stall said loudly, “That’s disgusting! Who did that?”. I laughed so hard that I farted again and she declared, “I do not have to listen to this!” and stormed out.

When I transitioned female to male, the bathroom thing that shocked me the most is how much shitting goes on in the men’s room.

Yeah, men face this with juvenile humor. Once at my last employer, A and B were in adjoining stalls, and A was noisily taking care of business. To which B responded, “Light a match and I’m a dead man.” Raucous laughter from A, likely devolving into a coughing fit. (I wasn’t there. Yes, B shared this story later.)

Not just raped, mind raped. That’s a whole ‘nother level of fucked up.

You seem very well adjusted and not sexist in the least. I bet you have a hectic social life.

Correct, they need to point that out, and make it clear that the narrow worldview is so heavily informed by the incredible trauma he went though. It’s one thing to say “oh my parents are dead.” So are all the other Defenders. It’s entirely different to say I watched my parents die, which JJ could relate to.

Madmae Gao had a nickname for her when she was rattling off to Danny and Elektra--or was it to the other fingers of the Hand? (I can’t remember now)— that the others were about to come down the elevator: The Devil of Hell’s Kitchen (Matt), The Unbreakable Man (Luke), and The Unyielding Woman (Jessica).

“I’ve watched every Netflix Marvel show except JJ”

Despite—or maybe because of?—Luke being the only Defender Jessica knew prior to this show, he got off relatively lightly.

She saved New York with her Metro card, she earned it.

Not separate. They still managed to sneak the “Avengers front page” into the background of Karen Page’s office.

The only thing that would’ve made it better is if she’d had to scroll through microfilms.

Hers were the best, but Foggy’s “Super Joan Jett” comment got me too.

Really? That’s not the impression I get at all. I thought JJ was by far the best show, because it was grounded in some very intense real world issues- rape; PTSD; psychology; it handled all of these issues with nuance and care, and I thought had a very grounded realistic approach. She is the most realistic and natural…

They had a CARD CATALOG. It made my history-degree-having heart glad.

i laughed at, ‘i didnt know they did diversity hires.’ when she first met matt. so wrong, i know.

I think the best thing in the show is how they didn’t dumbed down the hassle of investigation to make the story move, she still had to do some real research to get information, any other show would have had the geek/hacker guy bashing the keyboard and done
