Home: The Toast

Longreads put together a great lil collection of pieces about diversity in comics! So Toast-y.


Please enjoy an incredibly helpful guide to whatever the heck is going on in True Detective s2, which I have watched every episode of but do not understand in the least (the second question I have included is kind of a spoiler but I honestly don’t think you can spoil something that doesn’t make any sense, it’s a gift to have any questions answered):

Can I see a picture of Tasha?

No, she has never appeared on this show except in a very fuzzy photograph.

Wait, how did Vera tell Bezzerides anything? I thought she was missing.

She was, but she was the woman that Bezzerides found at the sex party and hustled out.


If you want to toss a few bucks into the pot for a great trans dude to help pay for his top surgery, that would be really nice of you!


Grilled halloumi is my favourite food, and whenever I go home, my father makes some for me with an oily, lemon-y, olive-y marinade brushed on top, but I’m sure this is good too. When my uncle was stationed in Cyprus, he ate halloumi for breakfast every single morning. Here are many more ways to get it into your face.


A YouTube history of white women singing “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going.”

Ask a Manager:

My orthopedic physician has directed me to elevate and ice the knee during those time of higher pain. My new manager is opposed to me raising or elevating it when meeting with clients (I work in government). I have done this only a few time with clients but very, very discreetly. I dress very modestly, wearing longer skirts, dresses, and pants. I sit on the corner of conference table with a chair to the right so I can place the leg/knee up with the table shielding the whole thing. I believe the clients don’t even know I am doing this. They are across from me and can’t see under the table.


The glorious Jewishness of WHAS:

There are explicit Jewish jokes like this throughout the movie. The kid who helps Molly Shannon’s character, a fragile A&C instructor, pick up the pieces after her divorce, asks her to “excuse the Yiddish” before admitting that men are “insensitive schmucks.” When Garofalo, as the camp’s director, reels off a list of campers’ names, it becomes clear that she is just halfheartedly improvising Jewish ones: “Amanda Klein… Jessica Azaria…  Ira… Stevenberg, Sol… Zimmer… stein… uh, David… Ben-Gurion… .” Michael Showalter’s character, telling a girl that he has fallen for her, explains his passion this way: “I love the way you laugh, and I love the way your hair smells, and I love it that sometimes, for no reason, you’re late for shul.”


This is literally the last thing I will say about WHAS, but I bought Elizabeth Banks’ swoopy rainbow jeans from ModCloth. They are not quite high-waisted enough, but dreams CAN come true.
