openly support each other on air is the balm I needed today. 💓Lift other women up. It costs nothing & changes everything.

@Racheldoesstuff
created a feminist, queer, inclusive, warm-hearted show filled w/magnetic, empathetic characters that also included songs abt periods, mental illness & tits, & how this is a miracle on multiple fronts & we should be erecting statues in her honor.
I can't get a Netflix special because I once had the audacity to share that a Netflix executive told me that because they had Chelsea Handler, they didn't need other women...
Meanwhile, Norm Macdonald has a Netflix talk show....
Double Standard? I think so...
Project Veritas didn't just to try to discredit the Washington Post.
They didn't just try to discredit Roy Moore's accusers.
They tried to discredit every single woman who has or ever will come forward with accusations of sexual assault.

spitting fire from her car was my bright spot today. "These clowns" indeed. Thank you
@NicolleDWallace
for this necessary conversation. All the snaps! 🙌
I owe my career to listening. When you honor a person with space and quiet, their hearts crack open and truth flies out. People ache for connection. Allow it.
It's interesting that you can give someone an enormous gift just by listening to them and yet, do irreparable harm by refusing to listen to them. For all the control that we center in talking, there is underrated power we wield in our agency that we exercise when others talk.
RIP to my former professor, Tony Hoagland. A complicated man in every respect: his poetry, more complex in its motivations and function than many allowed; his teaching, more idiosyncratic in its tone and more influential in the event than many appreciated; his person, inimitable.
“Every day we are neck-deep in cruel absurdity, in absurd cruelty, grasping for meaning in a vacuum. Left with nowhere else, we return to the body because, among other gifts, the body does not lie.”— My last piece of this godforsaken year.
K) You know how many women I know who have had their careers effectively ended because they asked for the same amount of money as a man or who dared to make script suggestions on a show they were working on? How quickly they were labeled as "difficult" and thus un-hirable?
"The Favourite" is a great film. Superb acting by all involved, brilliant narrative, and far more of a darker tone than I would have expected, which absolutely works to its benefit. That being said, it's a little long and kinda-sorta meanders at one point. Grade: A-

Merciful lord, how does this keep happening...
Did the past five years, especially, in conversations on representation not teach us anything?
Does no one on this cover have a smart publicist?
Bare minimum: does no one on the cover get the hypocrisy?
HOW?!
