Natter 75: More Than a Million Natters Served
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.
I think I already knew a) Kevin Spacey was gay and b) about the incident with Anthony Rapp. I read Rapp's memoir so maybe it was in there. But I definitely had Kevin Spacey on my mental list of creeps.
Anthony Rapp has talked about it before, but this is the first time that Spacey's name was published. Rapp did an interview a few years ago (with GQ, maybe? Can't remember) where he told the same story, but the magazine published it without Spacey's name -- just "a well-known actor" or something like that. I kind of wonder what made Buzzfeed think that they were legally safe now, when other places wouldn't publish it.
(Decided to delete the post above. It's not the right time for it. I apologize.)
Sending love to all who love Strega, and to, well, all of us.
Yay, Amy! Fingers are crossed.
Good luck, Amy!
I hate pretty much everything and this with the plan to take most of tomorrow off. Or today. Whatever.
So sorry to hear about Strega.
But I spent the day in a barely-suppressed glee because INDICTMENTS ASSHOLES.
I am so sorry about Strega. Like a lot of people, I didn't know her, but she was just organically, root-deep, bone-deep part of the board; every post of hers came with a little, "Ah, yes, of course, there she is!" Like a neighbor you don't know that well but see all the time a block or so away, just leaving the corner store or taking their dog for a walk or waiting for the bus. Part of the rhythm and life of the community.
This. Thank you for articulating how I'm also feeling so beautifully, JZ.
