I am convinced that people need to wake up and not kind of pretend this is just politics or this is partisan. What’s going on in the Trump administration — and I said this to the president when I called last month — I said, ‘We are at a pivot point in history.’

U sound silly right now. No need to freak out about a post that dared to point out that bourgeois white women lived lives 1000% better than those of enslaved black women, thanks to their enslavement. from one white woman to another, chill. U will survive this Tumblr outrage

i feel like you dont understand the magnitude of rape? rape is…extremely bad. it’s a very bad thing to happen to you, especially by your family. saying “these women deserved the suffering they experienced because of other people’s suffering they had essentially no agency in, but benefitted from” is so fucked up

My writing has been going really well. I’ve started contributing to our local alt-weekly, City Pages. This is my first piece for them.  While freelancing on the side of my 9-5 job is sometimes draining, I know I’m happier having this outlet. I still sometimes get Sunday-night blues, but they’re tempered by thoughts of what shows I’m going to review next and what ideas I might have to showcase the local food scene and the cool people doing cool things. I’m still figuring things out, but all of this feels like a step in the right direction.

Yes to this. Watch it.

i can never stress enough how you all should be watching crazy ex-girlfriend.

i gather it’s for free on the cw app

i gather netflix uploads the episodes weekly in most regions

 it has everything tumblr claims to desperately want and yet its fandom is made of like three people.

 drop the “sexist title” bullshit and try to actually watch: the entire show is about deconstructing the “crazy” world by dealing with a young woman with untreated anxiety and depression. yes, anxiety and depression. 

and yet the writing is so clever for some reason it feels bittersweet rather than intoxicatingly sad

it’s not about romantic/sexual relationships. there are those, but they’re just a means to explore the female protagonist’s life and journey.

you get anti-heroes. because you don’t have to be a man making drugs on a cable drama to be an anti-hero. you have to be deeply fucked up and that’s what these characters are.

it’s the most diverse cast i’ve ever seen. 

one character gets a number on coming out as bisexual. the word is said multiple times. you don’t like shows shying away from it? fucking watch crazy ex-girlfriend.

they sing and dance their ass off, and well, and showcasing meta commentaries on storytelling and how even music videos are made. they do pop, rap, rock, old hollywood musicals, you name it. they do everything and they’re brilliant at it. the soundtrack’s online. the music sheets too.

it’s just overall brilliant. it won the cw a golden globe and two emmys. rachel bloom is out of this world

rachel bloom also led this anti-trump anthem

again: cw app and netflix.
