I'm totally with Miranda on this one.
Cynthia Nixon is taking a lot of heat right now for her assertion that for her, sexuality was a choice, and that fact doesn’t make her humanity or family any less valid. Good on her. I agree that the “born this way” line of thinking is in no small part pandering to bigots, as if who I sleep with would be anybody’s business under any circumstances. I respect the experience...

Disney Announces Into the Woods Movie, We... →
If nothing else, this should be super interesting. How does Disney plan on producing a movie musical that drastically contradicts the depictions they’ve chosen for classic fairy tales, let alone the whole notion of Happily Ever After? Hopefully by keeping corporate far away from the process. Looking forward to casting announcements on this one.

In case you needed another reason not to shop Walmart today, they’re putting janitors and teenagers from the electronic section in Produce Manager positions and routinely selling moldy food. You know, in addition to a lot of corporate-level food ugliness. But all it should really take is the word “mold,” right?

Murderabilia and the market in true crime... →
Really fascinating article (just pretend you don’t see the evo-psych nonsense at the end). I had no idea women were by far larger consumers of True Crime literature… makes emotional sense, though, I love me some SVU too. I’d just be shocked if that transferred to the actual purchasing of collectibles, which is a predominantly male pursuit regardless of the nature of the items....

This probably speaks to my own privilege more than anything, having generally been surrounded by supportive people in liberal-leaning environments for most of my life, but I’m kind of in disbelief that I had to have this conversation at all. In NYC. In 2011. In fairness to my co-worker, she was apologetic and said she’d make an effort not to use the term as a derogatory in the future, and I...

I just finished watching Lost.
It took a year and two bouts of unemployment, but it’s all over. I feel all empty and sad! Which is silly, because it’s only television! Time to let go. Work starts Monday.
