The accuracy of this. A guy once said “I’m going to seduce you now” to me and I laughed but it really worked

Neil Gaiman once said you should just show up and announce THERE IS TO BE A SEDUCTION, that way everyone knows what the end goal is 😂 honestly, i could go for taxi lights or something. WAIT I found the quote. Not a writer but def the type to require this

Did you ever find out that something you read and loved years ago was written by someone you met later? That is this for me. I am so glad to read it again. Read it now and then read it every Groundhog Day thereafter

In Great Neck the more common thing was saying the Gatsby mansion. I have never heard anyone else from there claim Herman Melville's home. Leave it to Natasha Lyonne to make it so much better

Well, after an incredible 1.5 years, BDG has decided it is done with Gawker 2.0. Can't say enough about how proud I am of the site and all the brilliant people who worked to create it, and what a staggering shame this is. I had an absolute blast, and I love you.

Bodysuits, jersey skirts, tights, leg warmers, little shrugs. It is so weird to see the look I have worn for years and called “off-duty dancer” being embraced now as “balletcore”

I used to be an education reporter in NC and have been screaming this for years. They also don’t have to offer busing, a cafeteria, or special education services, which means white middle-class kids benefit most. Charter schools are a scam to make the rich richer.

I need so many people to understand this regarding Tyre Nichols. Several of the police officers who murdered Freddie Gray were Black. The entire system of policing is based on white supremacist violence. We see people under the boot of oppression carry its water all the time.

Diversifying the police force doesn’t end racism because racism is inherent to the organization of the institution & its daily operation. Racism is what policing is

Holy shit. An online post has been unearthed showing George Santos saluting Hitler and apparently joking about “kill... the jews and black mostly.” A former friend says he would make offensive jokes about Jewish people while falsely claiming to be Jewish.
