Say! Do you, like me, get an unexpectedly enormous kick out of Manohla Dargis – New York Times film critic, generally feministy lady, nailer-to-wall of all things inadequate, bringer of great joy and admiration to Sady Doyle on a more or less regular basis – saying “fuck” and “bullshit” a lot?

Yes, it is time once again to check in with your pal and mine, newspaper-killing poet of the rape culture Chris Surette.

You know what is awkward to write? Introduction posts! They are not about any specific thing, really. They are not serving any cause. All they are doing – I have verified this!
