This is a great article btw, I finally read the tweets and I gotta say (maybe in my ignorance) that they are not bad at all, I expected her to want to lynch trans people. Read more

I agree with all of this. Read more

She had her chance. Find someone else to read. There are hundreds waiting to take her place. Selling her books is not a god given right. Read more

The movie is colorful and the action is legible. The “money shot” moments are spectacular. By dint of contrast, I recently watched the Nic Cage Gone in 60 Seconds remake for the first time.

Did you read the book? Read more

The message is, really, about how systemic oppression cannot be overturned by using the same playbook as the oppressor. Read more
