cuz of Neil Gaiman, on behalf of & having been a nanny and childcare provider for a long time now (largely due to health reasons), please know: childcare workers do not want to have sex with you. they want income, sometimes housing, and *clear boundaries* that you recognize, uphold, and affirm.

Starmer's has ask the King for "permission" to form a government. I don't see how that's better than going through the Electoral College vote- in both cases it's a formality until the day it isn't. And it is absolutely possible to get a Parliamentary majority without winning thr popular vote.

Neil Gaiman claims he had a consensual sexual relationship with his child’s 21-year-old nanny that started on her FIRST DAY. That’s enough for me.

Don't be a snob. This could be a really useful tool for people who don't know the word "father."

It doesn't even have to be "bad". I replied to a post that subsequently went viral-I could find no fault with the wording, it was even clearer when read immediately after the original post, yet dozens of people opinionating on a micro-discourse-thought I was saying something else. So I deleted.

I started a GoFundMe to try and get my partner an autism diagnosis so we have recourse against discrimination at their workplace as well as access to support. If you’re able to contribute or share, we would appreciate it so much.

RIP Anthea Sylbert, the brilliant costume designer of Chinatown, Rosemary's Baby, The Heartbreak Kid. She worked with both Elaine May (A New Leaf) and Mike Nichols (several times) and was responsible for a line that still makes me laugh. When Nichols was directing Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf... >

I will face the bad take. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the bad take has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

They should go back to banning photography in museums. Even if flashless phone pics won't damage the art, the people taking them are always in the way.

I've told this story before, but when my paternal grandmother passed, her daughters fought for DAYS over who would get her precious ever-guarded recipe book, finally agreed they would share it, opened it to copy down the recipes and found it had only 1 entry which said "Book I pretend has recipes"

My mutual aid group was threatened with fines and arrest for distributing clothes to migrants in December and January at Floyd Bennett Field. Children were in shorts and flip flops in the freezing cold. When we tried to apply for the permit they said we needed, there was no permit to apply for.

Declaring peaceful, nondestructive protest to be violent and destructive, and suppressing it on those grounds, is a recipe for fostering violent and destructive protest.

There‘a no decade in the past 80 years when peace protesters in the US haven’t been illegally spied on, infiltrated, rounded up, beaten and jailed on pretextual charges. The perception of some gap between between the era of cointelpro & the post-9/11 surveillance state is a mirage.
