my girlfriend just tried to tell me that drury lane is where the gingerbread man lives. no. that is where the muffin man lives. the gingerbread man, as we all know, has no fixed residence
watched a steely eyed butch trudge through the freezing wind while pushing a shopping cart, walking a dog, and clutching a red bouquet, and thought: somewhere a femme is very warm
all girls know is destroy capitalism, identify the victim classes, organize the victim classes, engage in international solidarity with the global movement, attack and dethrone god
the kavanaugh stuff is so fucking depressing bc it was never that they didn’t think it happened, it was always that they just didn’t think it was a big deal
i think a certain kind of college educated female voter has a largely merit-based experience of sexism where they’ve been denied career advancement they‘ve putatively earned through professional competence and so when they see a woman denied political office they think, aha it me
my gf just said the only acceptable way to remake the princess bride is to have adult fred savage, whose name turns out to be william goldman, finds the unabridged princess bride by s. morgenstern and realizes his grandfather’s version was wildly inaccurate and i am SCREAMING
a lot of writers on here like to complain about how hard writing is but personally i just open up the dirty window and let the sun illuminate the words that i cannot find
marriage story was weird. first, the runtime. did baumbach really need all that time to tell his story? second, too much yelling. we get it! third (this is more of an observation) interesting choice to make it less about a marriage and more about the disappearance of jimmy hoffa
hey twitter, some bittersweet news. tomorrow is my last day working in my living room. it’s been an amazing 8 months and i’ve learned so much from everyone there. then i’ve got a week off (vacation!) before starting work in my bedroom. can’t wait for this incredible new chapter!!
ladies, if he:
-doesn’t text back
-takes up all your energy
-used to be a star
-doesn’t like having his picture taken
-is 6.5 million times the mass of the sun
he’s not your man. he’s a black hole
if the child, having caught his mother kissing his father in a santa costume, must believe her an adulterer lest he lose the sweet illusion of santa claus, the question remains why his father, thinking his son asleep, was dressed as santa claus to begin with. in this essay i will
the problem is (1) merit-based sexism is low priority relative to other forms of misogyny (you aren’t denied an abortion bc they gave it to your mediocre male colleague) and (2) the presidency absolutely should not be analogous to a prestigious fellowship or upper management job
call me old fashioned but just bc a republican “identifies” as a democrat doesn’t mean he/she/it should be allowed into the democratic primary with my daughter (bernie)
Pete Buttigieg feared being gay would be "a career death sentence" for his political hopes. So he stayed in the closet – until he was 33. The Democratic presidential candidate told
@jwpetersNYT
about the turmoil that led him to finally come out in 2015.
my girlfriend’s theory is that bobby always designs the same room with dark walls bc he’s unconsciously recreating a traumatic place from his farm country childhood and i am OBSESSED
it’s a very clever cooptation strategy to say the police are “broken” or “corrupt.” the police aren’t a broken institution failing their communities, they are a wildly successful institution that does exactly what it’s designed to do! the whole point is to BREAK IT
many on the left supported bernie bc he represented a modest but meaningful transitional phase on the way to a truly just society and now it’s like oh maybe we can just skip that??
bernie sanders will never win the nomination without the coveted bloc of unreconstructed theater gays elizabeth warren is holding hostage with her catty remarks and advanced age
now more than ever i am thankful that the democratic nominee for president did not write a gleefully racist tough on crime bill incentivizing mass incarceration and further empowering the police whose destructive effects are still felt 25 years lat- (touches ear) what’s that?
opposing sexism bc women aren’t getting what they deserve is different from opposing it bc women aren’t getting what they shouldn’t HAVE to deserve. one is denial of privilege, one is abrogation of right. and imho this was a real diff between bernie and warren’s visions all along
dysphoria is like someone died when i was born and the only one who remembers her is me and now i spend my life pretending to be her and wishing my friends had met her instead of me and knowing that the people who love me were really meant to love her. i miss her so much
warren is right: sexism was present. this may be genuinely triggering etc esp if your political consciousness developed precisely in relation to this kind of sexism, but it is fundamentally irrelevant to the question of who should be president. and that’s hard to accept maybe?
queer eye to women: you're so successful, you hustle so hard, you're a beacon of your community, please just take five minutes to celebrate yourself queen
queer eye to men: you have literal shit in your hair you piece of shit here's some italian leather shoes
also you make westley and buttercup both women and then you call it “the princess brides” and while it is a reference to them, it’s primarily a reference to the fact that fred savage is now reckoning with the existence of two different versions both called “the princess bride”
(great british bake off)
me: for my crimble i’m doing something a little bit different....it’s based on a window i once saw in a church in warwickshire
host (voiceover): andrea’s lemon zest and olive crimble will be filled with a cardamom currant custard, and shaped like a shoe
