katespencer:
I’m writing this on the R train as it rattles slowly along toward Brooklyn. I’m headed to pick up my 6-month-old daughter. I’m writing because I’m still reeling from what occurred on the Times Square subway platform a few moments ago. I was walking to the end of the station as I always do. I saw a…

I re-read it at least 5 times, thinking,...

First of all, boring.
Second of all, should this even matter?
And third of all, of course she’s a lesbian.
Have you seen any stock photos of her? It looks like Obama nominated a cross-country UPS driver to be a Supreme Court Justice. This woman’s face is literally the world’s collective…

My Favorite Unmarried Woman →
I watched An Unmarried Woman when I first moved to New York, immediately bought the DVD (for epic amounts of rewatching), and fell deeply in love with Jill Clayburgh. Janet Maslin wrote a real nice piece about her and how much adoration she inspired as a sort of accidental feminist in Paul Mazursky’s movie. You could even call Erica, the unmarried woman in An Unmarried Woman, a thinking...
