You Say “I Care A Lot” – But Do You Really?
Their play depends entirely on the way that older people are viewed in American society. No one takes them seriously or spends much time talking to them at all.
Dolly Parton Separates Politics from Humanity with “Heartstrings”
I cannot express this enough – DO NOT BINGE THIS SHOW. It has been a pretty traumatic day for me over here. A constant sob fest. I think that I’m done, I think that *this* story won’t hit me – I mean I have no emotional memories of the Vietnam War – but NO. I repeatedly cried so hard that my partner laughed at me while my tears soaked in to my cat’s fur.
“Only Fans” Documentary Opens A Conversation Around Sex Work
If you say that you’ve never watched porn, I’ll say that I don’t believe you. Let’s start talking about it.
Hurt People Hurt People in Veronica Mars the Movie
Hulu hates me. I know it’s true and I know it’s personal. It’s the only possible explanation for the fact that I have been trying to watch Veronica Mars for a month now and it does not play easily, if at all. At first I blamed this on my poor […]

Everything about Downfalls High swallows me in nostalgia. It reminds me of life before my 20s, back when I was a teenager and truly believed that I…knew where I stood, because I knew that I stood against everyone else.
Chef Satisfaction
The epitome of what any creative in this new world can ever hope to achieve – organic fame by being their true selves – is incredibly satisfying. How many of us post a selfie from a certain angle because we want the affirmation of knowing that at least twenty people, only three of whom we talk to on a regular basis, think we look good?
Vice – Politics In Pop Culture
The reality that the movie suggests is that boring, monotone white men have been putting us to sleep on TV while throwing around their considerable weight behind the scenes…

Being so singularly focused can be dangerous, we all know this. When we get tunnel vision we exclude a lot of other factors that are important to a healthy society. But what do you do when everyone else is so singularly focused that they ignore the things that matter to you, like equal rights and soldiers dying by the hundreds in a pointless war? If everyone seems to be looking everywhere but at the injustice it can start to feel like your duty is to be singularly focused until enough people are looking in your direction.
