Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's not "Buzzfeed," it's Anne Helen Peterson! She's been doing great work for years, there and elsewhere.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

You want me to remember an actual name? Actually, I might: three names with three different numbers if syllables like that seem to stick in my head pretty well.

I am pretty tired of the competing-visions-of-femininity paradigm. I hope Jolie's new narrative does something about that.

I am also tired of clinging to daylight savings time when we do not have surplus daylight to move around. Maybe I should see about changing my start time to 9:15 until dst ends...

I mean, you don't have to, but she is great. Here she is on Rock Hudson: [link]

Because books.

I had not heard of her, Jesse! I'll look for her other stuff.

She has a PhD, in gossip! (she really does)

Seriously? That's sort of cool.

Punishingly Intricate

Buzzfeed has been cultivating serious journalistic talent for a while now I thought.
