Me, too! Jane Yolen is such an icon. I love all her work.

Save your typing, Nat. Legault only approves of female vocalists if they are dressed appropriately and singing about correct politically pure themes while donating all proceeds to a worthy cause blessed by the ghost of Alice Toklas. Their feminism is one dimensional and narrow and sad.

🙄 Then don't watch, Jan. It's called free will. The beyond reproach image policing is outer limits. She's a grown woman. It's her body and her agency. I don't think women should just make decisions about their body when they are doing something I approve of.

So your judgment on her being 'problematic as fuck' is that she did a 'Lolita' photo shoot? Was that the title of the photo shoot? Or just your reaction to it? What else makes her problematic? Please cite authoritative sources.

Why.....can't you love it now?

I think this has been the situation almost from the start of this term. He's surrounded by sycophants and yes pple but also by spin experts that only show him what he wants to see. He then regurgitates misinformation, his cult followers believe it instantly, and cycle starts.

This is true and most of that had to do with Biden's choice of Merrick Garland, who dragged his feet until the last possible moment, and then ran out of time, and here we are.
