If Trixie is indeed the winner than we will revisit this conversation (unless she’s like luminously brilliant in the last two episodes, which is possible I guess). But right now I think the biggest conspiracy is how DeLa got the white-out. Read more
You know, if I were a kid who faced the chance that I could be killed every fucking day I go to school, I would probably feel a little reassured if I thought there might be some armed adults who are in charge and able to save me. Read more
I agree she’s earned our scorn, and I don’t feel bad for her. But I’m feeling generous today, and if she were to renounce her affiliation and declare she’s seen the light and wants to come to our side, ok. I try to retain grace for people in the hopes that they can still grow and change their attitudes.
Tomorrow I… Read more
Iiiiiiiinnnnteresting. I wonder if Ms Charen is struggling with a sunk cost fallacy. It’s clear her level-headed recognition of GOP hypocrisy surrounding sexual assailants isn’t welcome, not even at a panel expressly about conservative women’s reflections on their place within #MeToo! But she’s also built a name for… Read more
Laura, the girl who lost her friends when she came out as “conservative”, shows how the internet has really been instrumental in radicalizing people and bringing horrible people together. Read more
I would have liked to see the GQ article get into issues of objectification of actors of any gender, and the extent to which they are subject to this kind of power imbalance. As I recall, while at his most successful, Fraser was frustrated by the action hero/hunk image rut he had gotten into - which led to Gods and… Read more
I’m still expecting far more men to come forward as victims of sexual abuse and harassment in Hollywood. We’re all just told to “suck it up” and have to deal with masculinity bullshit if we do come forward with abuse, sexual or otherwise. Read more
The Fraser story of having a man grope him is so specific, and told with such squirming discomfort and embarrassment, that it’s kind of hard not to believe. It seems to have had a profound effect on someone who was feeling vulnerable, and that’s a hallmark of assault - the kind we have long expected women to just…
Any answer other than the Mummy is wrong. Read more
My husband and I are very specific about where our pupper goes. She’s still a puppy, so while she goes to a dog park, it is occasional and she’s heavily supervised because she’s still learning how to play safely. She goes to work with my husband once a week but he works in a liquor store that’s cool with pets. She… Read more
YES to point B, but my biggest problem is that so many places are becoming dog places. Like offices. Offices are for human adults. And coffee shops. And clothing stores. And restaurants that are indoors. Read more
Every time I see a job posting that lists benefits such as “home cleaning service,” that’s points against. Read more
Doesn’t have to be in-house daycare but policies allowing more flexible working arrangements still seem hard to come by. If you can have a dog at work I don’t see why a child-caring parent couldn’t pick their kid up from school and then work another hour from home or with the kid under their supervision at work. Read more
I have to appreciate the irony that the animal that actively cleans itself and chooses to crap in scented gravel is the one less likely to be accepted. Read more
I’m not anti-dog! I love dogs! Read more
You know what I hate? The fact that “pet friendly” is usually code for “dog friendly only, no other pets”. Notably for hotels. Thank goodness its been years since I’ve had to travel such distances with a cat that required a hotel stay, but it does happen (especially for moves) and most of the time when a hotel says… Read more
And also most these places as far as I’m aware still have shit policies when it comes to childcare yet now everyone and their mum can bring pets in. Read more
I like dogs. I am also horribly allergic to your dogs. Please stop bringing them on the train. To the laundromat. To the Grocery store. To restaurants. To pretty much everywhere that isn’t outside. if you can’t run errands or eat lunch without your fucking dog, you have a mental problem. Read more
As a city dweller, I just cannot fathom the amount of untreated dog urine that is deposited on our streets and buildings and the raw dog poop that ends up in landfills. If it were human waste there would be a huge public outcry about the uncleanliness of it all. But noooooooo.
