I loved (read: gasped out loud) the change to the opening credits. For the earlier seasons, the geography of Westeros/Essos was crucial to understanding the scope of these intersecting plots. The new title sequence brings us inside the castles to let us know that the interior blueprints of Winterfell and the Red Keep Read more

No, I think Gendry and Sansa, she deserves a nice and very hot guy after all the shit she’s been through, and since Gendry a Baratheon and it would make their claim to the throne pretty strong if they got together. Arya will just continue to be a bad-ass killer. Read more

In my mind, Arya is still like 12 so I don’t want to imagine her fucking anyone. Brienne needs to stay away from the sister fucking Kingslayer. The guy has deep rooted emotional and psychological issues. Go with Tormund. A guy with the last name Giantsbane is bound to be packing.  Read more

Go hard or go home but don’t go to Hardhome. That place sucks. Read more

Brienne of Tarth and Tormund Giantsbane and Jaime Lannister — Go hard or go home. Read more

You would think by now that practitioners and activists in this realm would get their fucking houses in order. (That is to say, the individuals and their own houses, not the institutions they work with or for.) A bit of introspection and a lot of self recusal (better yet, self control) would go a long way in Read more

My heart just crashed. We will need brave providers to step up and fill the void. Disappointment is not a word that does adequate justice to what I am feeling right now. My heart goes out to Ms. Russell and his other victims.

Oh NO. I have looked up to Willie Parker for so long - what he does is so brave and his reasoning is so compassionate, so this really sucks. But this is why we shouldn’t have heroes. Read more

This is so disappointing! When I heard the news earlier I gasped. I’m sadder for the people who have felt silenced by his prominence in the field - especially since RJ work is so important. Coming forward to speak truth and dismantle the abuses of power are more important than upholding someone because they serve as a Read more

Ok, I’m old. These ultra high cuts were called French cut in the 80s. (I don’t know! I was just there.) I remember very vividly being a tween on the beach with a bunch of older women attempting the same body suit.

Every set of eyes was on the beach like... “Wait, hold on, any second now... that cat is about to jump Read more

While watching this scene I was terrified, absolutely terrified she would jump up and say “I’m keeping the baby!” When I had my abortion, I didn’t have a support friend, nor was I in such a nice clinic. I was in the Bronx at a stand alone hellhole because I couldn’t get an appointment with Planned Parenthood prior to Read more

Same! Lindy is one of the greats and the first writer I felt a true sense of loss when she left Jez.   Read more

I just finished watching all the episodes. Gonna watch them all again tonight. Best show ever, I wish there were more episodes. Hey Julianne, can you get me out of the greys? I lost my key and had to make a new name. Thanks Read more

I was so...proud when I watched it. Which is a bit silly, I know, but it felt like an old friend was finally getting her due. It's a show to be proud of.  Read more

I’m fairly convinced that the entire fashion industry is run by a secret cabal of men who just hate women with a visceral, white-hot passion.
