*sighs while pinching his nose like Bob*

Back when I would wear pantyhose, the calluses would rip them something awful. I tried my best to file the calluses down or soak them off: one part warm water, two parts regular Listerine, and an hour soak.

You can’t separate it, though. A black queer person isn’t dealing with homophobia separate from racism. That is exactly what intersectionality is about. The homophobic and transphobic society you refer to is also a white supremacist society. Those things aren’t discrete, and they affect queer people of color in very…

The guy is wrong but I 100% understand the impulse. I’m tall and on most planes, if someone reclines, my knees physically don’t fit. My options are then to either turn my entire lower half and do my best to splay my legs under the seat or to manspread into my neighbors’ leg area, not even getting into the issues of…

The minute you put your seat back you’re the dick. The end. 

Ooh! Ooh! I don’t know if it’s actually “insulting” but... The year that I came out (in like November, I think) my very religious mother gave me for Christmas 1) a Bible with my name gilded on the cover, 2) a book titled “God Can Give You A New Beginning”, and 3) a stress ball.

yeah, you’re right, this is definitely not a world in which Gamer Gate is relevant at all anymore, gooooooood catch.

It’s pretty amazing, and a credit to the writers, how Alex has gone from being the weird kid in a pretty forgettable episode to a believable best friend for Gene in all of two subsequent appearances.

“Are you saying this is my fault?!”

Honestly, the team at Anheuser-Busch probably had zero idea that this was going on or that anyone was uncomfortable. Obviously someone on the client side was reviewing the auditions of the final selects prior to confirming talent. However, they hire a production company who hires the director and casting directors,…

Confidence is telling the casting director No when they ask you to wiggle around when it has no connection to the actual role.

The MOST confident move was to stand there with RBF instead of kowtowing to that director’s whims.

White House economic advisor Kevin Hassett doesn’t understand why all these furloughed and unpaid government employees are bitching about a free vacation, and told PBS NewsHour that “in some sense, they’re better off.”

rich and poor alike wore corsets; the only difference being the materials they were made out of. Rich women would have silks and brocades and used whale bone to stiffen them. Poor women would have linen and reeds used to stiffen them.

I wish any news station/outlet would run the numbers on what this shutdown actually costs with a bonus ticker at the bottom of the screen as those costs increase (CNN has a clock on how long the shutdown has lasted, which isn’t the same thing).

Remember that Trump has a history of not paying his employees. He simply doesn’t give a shit since he’s used to not paying the people who work for him and expect them to bow to his whims.

I imagine there’s a bizzare satisfaction to being scared and them eating the thing that scared you.

this thread is going in some strange directions
