“Faking It” Episode 101 Recap: Let’s Be Lesbians

“Faking It” Episode 101 Recap: Let’s Be Lesbians

image

Welcome to the first recap of the first season of Faking It, a brand new show from the musical network that brought you I Want a Famous Face and Carmen and Dave: An MTV Love Story. 

We open in bed with a lesbian, just like I do every morning.

Meet Amy and Karma. The primary bond between Amy and Karma is a shared love of delivering exposition over the telephone. In the span of a two-minute phone call we learn:

1. Karma’s mom is a hippie who makes tea and reads astrological charts, and Karma wishes she had a normal Mom.

2. Amy’s mom is doing something fancy with a steam iron in the hallway, and Amy wishes she had a normal Mom.

3. Amy doesn’t like rodents as pets.

Orphan Black Episode 201 Recap: Nature Under Constraint and Vexed

Hey Clones!

Welcome to your Orphan Black recaps! Have you been watching since the beginning? Did you mainline season one all over again? Or did you, like Forever Intern Grace, just dive the fuck into season two? Were you confused? She sure was.

To quickly recap the series for all you noobs, Orphan Black is about grifter and single mother Sarah Manning whose life gets fucked sideways when she sees her doppelganger commit suicide. When Sarah takes over her life/work/boytoy, she discovers that she is one of many human clones in existence, and she joins forces with her clone bros to find out what the fuck happened to them.

Why are we recapping this show? Well, aside from being excellent, one of the clones, Cosima (aka dreadlocks adorkable clone) is gayer than a handbag full of rainbows. And she has a hot French girlfriend and it’s COMPLICATED, like most hot French girls are. And all the clones are played masterfully by Tatiana Maslany, who is perfection/your new girl crush.

The episode begins with the usual yada yada yada about what happened last week and the only thing that stood out to me was Vico’s jacket. Is the Anchor Beach mascot a whale or a shark? It looks like a whale but that seems like a dumb mascot — not threatening at all — “Watch out! I’m going to krill you!” So, it must be a shark which led me to watch West Side Storyvideos on YouTube. I think we…

Sexism in the tech industry exists, is a time-suck, is demoralizing, makes no sense and must be dismantled. One of the main messages I received after writing the sexism in tech article was for something more solution-based. How can we respond? And after attending the first Lesbians Who Tech Summit at the Castro Theatre in San Francisco, I think this is one of the ways that we can fix this — a way…
