Clue. One of Tim Curry’s finest performances. Madeline Kahn’s, too.

Not to mention that the food stylists create something that isn’t even edible. They frequently use things that aren’t food to make it look more palatable onscreen.

It’s likely because the fixes all would impinge on the rights of his constituents–and by that I mean, the rights of his major corporate donors to make money.

I went to an Indian place once and asked the waiter to make my food spicy. It was kinda medium-spicy, and when the waiter asked if it was spicy enough, I–stupid white boy I am–said no. He took the dish back to the kitchen. He returned a little later with the chef. They both watched me take a bite and regret my decision. Through the tears, I told them the Spice was just right. They laughed.

I’m a teacher. I bought this book for my own children. It’s a book about being true to yourself, even when you don’t feel like you fit in. You don’t have to be “blue” or “pink” if you feel like you fit into both categories.

Yes, it’s a book about being trans, but there are other ways to read the book, especially if your audience is young. Accepting and loving yourself. Inclusion. Tolerance. It’s a sweet book, and so of course people are going to get mad… it teaches kids acceptance, not hate!

Here’s the thing though… it isn’t factually incorrect, and taken together with how Ethan Peck has played the character, this line could just be viewed as Spock’s attempt at a joke.

I’m in my early 40s, and I’m more of a leftist today than I was when I was 18.
