Read Maria Semple’s Go Gentle. It’s hilarious, devastating, and batshit. And addresses this.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

It’s very strange to claim there’s no proof Trump sleeps at his events when there are cameras filming him sleeping. What is even happening in this world where people are like, well you can’t be sure that you’re actually watching an 80 year old man, who stays up all night, fall sleep live on camera?

I know it’s not the point but this styling isn’t even aesthetically appealing after all this nonsense. It is not even “insanely beautiful but not practical” as one commenter says. The end result just looks like a messy fridge to me.

Great! I look forward to their announcement of increased primary school library funding National vows to limit screen time in primary schools, early childhood centres www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

The party said it wanted a greater emphasis on books, handwriting, conversation, hands-on activities and direct interaction with teachers and other children.

We’re in the bad place. An Australian cheated in a fitness competition by shitting all over the equipment, an American businessman and an English singer think free speech doesn’t include speaking out against genocide, NZ media report US propaganda as breaking news… this is hell.

Real question because I’m confused. Did Macklemore come out in the recent concert in black curly wig and hooked nose as he did 12 years ago or did he just say Free Palestine without that costume?

You all-- I never thought I'd see the day, but library peeps, strap in for a fight. The Author's Guild is going after us as the reason why authors are making less money. I don't think they understand who they are dealing with: www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

I unblocked an insufferable man several months ago because I thought, eh, just mute will be enough, only to be taught the lesson that no, insufferable men just need to be blocked because they will be insufferable in your mentions again sooner or later.

This headline is so fucked up on multiple levels. The article states that National is down by the most so surely the headline should be National loses support? #nzpol

This is a screenshot from Stuff that shows the headline, "Labour loses support as Opportunity falls below 5% in latest poll.” It is under a yellow banner that says “Breaking news” and just repeats the exact headline.
