Rachel Zegler and the internet mob

Posted on August 14, 2023August 23, 2023 by Whitney

I made a promise at the start of the strikes not to give any struck companies promotion for free. And so much has happened, but I’ve been content to write drafts and save them. Something that’s happened online this week requires a comment (without talking about the movie itself). The silence from a lot of…

The problem with slut jokes

Posted on April 23, 2015April 23, 2015 by Whitney

You might have seen that Chris Evans and Jeremy Renner during a press junket responded to a question about Black Widow’s romantic interests in Age of Ultron (not saying who, SPOILERS, but it was brought up to them because in prior films it seemed like her interests were aimed at Captain America and Hawkeye) and…

Today I was going to write about Whitney Houston. But last night during the Grammys (I didn’t watch, but I followed along on Twitter), I realized that the bulk of the tweets I saw were about Chris Brown. Short recap for anyone who just woke up from a coma. The night before the 2009 Grammys,…

Super? More like Meh.

Posted on February 6, 2012February 6, 2012 by Whitney

As did most of the US, I watched the Super Bowl. Admittedly, I didn’t pay much attention to the game itself. It was my job to provide our small party with the snacks, so I was putting food in and out of the oven. And watching the ads. After all, I did work in advertising….

I am a writer, artist, mother, and geek. I write about what catches my attention- whether it's fandom, politics, hockey, life as a Latina, or life with Crohns disease. Sometimes I write about marriage and kids, but that's not very often these days.
