Listen: the internet gets a bad rap. And some of it is garbage! But sometimes, every once in awhile, a really good and perfect thing happens (especially on Autostraddle dot com). LIKE THIS WEEK WHEN MIA KIRSHNER READ HEATHER HOGAN’S ESSAY ABOUT JENNY SCHECTER!
So this week, an honorary comment award goes to Mia Kirshner herself, for this tweet:

Good for you, Mia Kirshner herself
MIA WE SEE YOU
I was hoping she would read it!! ?
There is…so much being expressed here this week!
And it’s all delicious.
Outstanding.
GASP. I’m honoured.
NO HATTIE YOU HONOR US
I hope no one got any tongue-lashings for wishing work colleagues Happy Oral Sex Day. ;)
Ah, it’s been pouring rain here all day and I have had most excellent hot chocolate with ginger in it. It’s a good day. Hope everyone else is having a good day too.
I’ve never had hot cocoa with ginger but it sounds AMAZING!
@queergirl Hot milk, a couple heaping spoonfuls of your favorite hot chocolate (I like a dark version), and this stuff https://www.internationalgroceries.com.au/Intra%20Ginger%20Drink which is basically cane sugar and ginger. Ginger syrup is also a wonderful thing, I haven’t tried it in hot chocolate but I’m sure it would work just fine. Can put crystallized ginger in there too for a bottom-of-the-cup treat but at that point you kinda have to detox from all the sugar. (I…heard from a friend.)
Hot chocolate with just a tiny bit of orange extract or coconut extract is also a good thing.
Love,
The Hot Chocolate Fairy
Thank you :D Cheese fries are on me
ooh yes please
I was actually mad at myself for not taking the very obvious „Is it a bi..bird?“ route there.
Thanks for the save Kristana!
Cast off thy hestal livery.. *cough*
To bi or not to bi? That is the question.
Great crop of comments. But is this a Kristana and Carmen SanDiego… truce?
ohhhhhhh
There is no truce….only Zuul.
Probably I was a little thrilled about the celebration because I’ve just noticed that I forgot the word “know” in my comment, so I want to thank @carmensandiego, @kristana and @iarrannme for still making sense of that mess.
*high five*
If only the world were this simple…
The only difference between them is their gender? Nope. Nope. Nope.
Bc the main difference is that don was actually a creative genius in ways we as an audience could understand and be in awe of.
He had a unique point of view on the world and humans.
Jenny only thought she did. And her work was self indulgent and shitty.
Don was a tortured genius- Jenny was a wannabe.
She was disingenuous and playing a part- that’s what made her insufferable.
Don wasn’t precious about his work- his whole job was manipulation and he knew it. It was never about his own self expression.
Jenny was a self indulgent hack.
The work is the lens for me.
