“Over here, in our tiny corner of the internet, I want us to stand in solidarity with the witch who wouldn’t burn, the one who triumphed in her way over G-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. Long Live Zoë Quinn; best of luck as she levels up.”

It’s Super Tuesday! What’s the latest? Find out and then talk about it here.

“It’s the kind of work that makes me look forward to eight hours on my feet holding five pounds of camera in my hands with another seven pounds slung across my back. It’s wonderful to create not just art, but art that makes people feel special and good and beautiful.”

When I say I was obsessed with RENT, I mean obsessed. I grew straight out of American Girl Magazine into the world of wildly risqué musical theatre.

A lesbian predator storyline, The Fosters? Really?

Neither Rose nor Susanna can live while the other survives! Also, Lauren moves in with Maggie (kind of?) on Younger, and we faced a sad dismissal on Top Chef.

“Also known as ‘spiraling,’ this is the emotional comedown. Like drugs, your serotonin levels have been depleted and possibly you’re dehydrated.
