See, that’s what the app is perfect for.

Sounds perfect Wahhhh, I don’t wanna

you’ve sort of hinted at/alluded to your feelings about capitalism in articles, but have you ever talked about it in full anywhere? i’m really curious.

i haven’t, no, i’m always reluctant to get too heavy into opinions i might have that are more radical than usual that i’m not totally confident i can speak effectively and correctly on. my words get jumbled. i think capitalism is hard. i think it only works if all human beings are equally compassionate, and we don’t live in that world. we never have, really. where we are now is the natural evolution of capitalism – the fact that it’s gotten in bed with politics to this degree… someone could’ve predicted that. it makes sense. people with power want more of it. i think getting more women into the workforce is important and especially more women entrepreneurs, as they’re more likely to hire other women than women in high-level positions at companies they don’t own. I absolutely think we all deserve health care, and the quality of your education shouldn’t be defined by the wealth of your neighborhood and the likelihood you’ll land in jail should be defined by your behavior, not the color of your skin. It’s ridiculous at this point in human history for people to be so fucking racist! See, these structures all feed the machine, the people at the top. Without people on the bottom, there would be no top, you see? All of our oppression is somebody else’s processional. So I think this – where we are right now – this might be the moment when we really need to think long and hard about whether or not this is actually the best way for human beings to live and be governed. I sometimes say I’m a socialist, which is a political ideology too, because i can’t see anything wrong with a world where everybody shares their shit. the problem is our CULTURE. and i think we need to start with socialized medicine and health care. i think if we do that, then capitalism might stop being evil, like it is in some other countries, maybe. because it’s a neat system, too. it’s just not the right system for health care or education, you can’t employ an economic policy to shape social services, you need to employ a social policy for shaping social services. something like that. so, there you have it, my incoherence.

…after devoting far too much thought to it all, I can quite confidently say this: I don’t give a shit. About any of it. A character in whom I have no emotional investment attempts to kill himself to the strains of some whiny piece of subpar alternacrap I’ve never heard before? How the hell am I supposed to do anything but yawn at that? To be honest with you, even yawning involves more effort than I’m willing to expend on this supposedly shocking development, so I’m just gonna skip to the end of the whole thing and note that we enter this evening’s first commercial break not knowing if Karofsky actually succeeds in offing himself or not.

(i know this is a month old, but it’s never too late to revel in the glory of my favorite glee recapper reacting to the episode in the same way that i did, as it makes me feel extra right)

Am I the only Minky shipper who felt insulted seeing Mini and Franky pretending to be a couple?

Particularly as it was obviously supposed to be a funny moment. It just felt like the writers rubbing it in yet again that it’s never going to happen properly. A shitty “comedy moment” of pretence is the best we’re going to get.

I just have a lot of Minky feelings right now and none of them are happy. It could have been beautiful.

It doesn’t help that I’ve hated every single event and development that’s happened to both characters in this series.
