Did you ever happen to get him on tape saying something even remotely gross? Because if you did, my friend, your train has just come in.

Right? I would feel suspicious about anyone for whom a) shoes are an element of their life philosophy, or b) requires notes from throw pillows to remember how to act.

I am team All of Them unless they really start brawling, in which case I will chew Louis Tomlinson’s nose off with my teeth in defense of Zayn.

I wish it would just fucking decide and be all one or the other. I started to go grey at 20, and now 10 years later, I have enough grey to be noticeable, but only enough to make my hair color look dull and mousy - I didn’t even get a cool streak!

It’s almost like we have enough resources (financial, intellectual, emotional) to care about and/or research more than a few things at once, including even some objectively trivial things!

Yes. If only people concerned about dead black teenagers had shut down American towns and cities in protest, brought police brutality to the fore of international attention, kickstarted demands for accountability that led to 25% of police departments using body cameras, with 80% considering the technology, and led to…

My name has one of these in it, and this is how I write it, although I was taught a much uglier version in school.

My best friend from high school developed his own dagger-grip in preschool, and simply never moved on. His handwriting, print or otherwise, looks like a 5 year old’s. I’m embarrassed enough by my own eccentric but controlled scrawl - the reality is there ARE still real-life situations where you have to write things by…

When I was teaching in Czech Republic, the kids never did print writing - straight to cursive as well. And they spend a LOT of time on it. Almost every Czech I met had nearly the same, perfect handwriting. It’s so good that they often don’t cross their lowercase t’s, because there’s no chance that you’ll slip and…

I’ve made a conscious decision to change the way I write some letters - I stole Dale Carnegie’s lowercase ‘r’ in 8th grade, and my first name starts with an E, which can be written a bunch of different ways, and I’m still trying to settle on one I actually like - but the thought of trying to change the whole thing…

They do tend to skew a little informal? I went to one of those private schools that irritatingly had a dress code but never made the leap to school uniforms, so I was able to buy my own clothes but they had to fit a certain standard.

I am insane with jealousy. I can’t tell you how much I wanted it, but my mom thought maxi skirts were inappropriate for school.

On the back of your success I tried to do my own Image Search and was disappointed to not be able to find the dragon-embroidered maxi skirt that has been burned into the most wanting part of my brain since I saw it in the Delias catalogue.

The summer before I went to middle school (1996 or 1997), a Delias catalogue showed up at my house. I pored over it, because I wanted to show the kids at my new school that I was Cool and Awesome and Definitely Not A Nerd, and what better way to do that than with Cool Awesome clothes?

Their shoes go up to 11, and in styles that a girl who never got to wear combat boots when they were age-appropriate (me) can covet. Their inseams also go insanely long, and I’m tall. I hit up Delias all the time.

Definitely, but we’re supposed to be better, and we need to prove it by not making the simplest of mistakes over and over again.

When that’s what’s being said, that’s what I’ll respond to. What was actually said, and what I’m responding to at the moment, is the idea that an animal is equal to a human.

I have actually never spoken to a creationist, a fact for which I will gladly bow down in thanks to every god that I don’t believe exists.

I have no idea who you’re hanging out with who isn’t aware of this fact.

It’s not NOT sexism. But being unable to figure out when things are literally too bad to compare to other things, which is a pretty entry-level concept I think, is not helping.
