I’m not convinced that the findings of this study make a particularly strong case against school uniforms. The point is taken that girls feel that being in uniform makes them a target, but I do think that adult men who engage in street harassment will harass young girls whether they’re wearing school uniforms with…

“...she revealed her nominees for the Tennessee Senate”

The Diet Prada side-by-side comparisons were fun to see. And the question mark at the end of that quote from The Cut is beautifully savage. 

I did not know Slick and Adonis were a couple!

Yes! It was so fucking adorable, watching their interactions made me smile so much!

Helena just said she’d never been to the Met Gala, she didn’t say anything about people not liking what she wore. I took Rihanna’s remark as a joke about Helena wearing a dress that was covered with penis doodles (which Graham Norton very pointedly remarked on at the very start of the interview, and which Rihanna made…

I saw that interview (I think we’re talking about the same one), and Rihanna didn’t come off as mean to me (although she has been kind of mean girl in other situations). I just think she wasn’t particularly amused by Graham Norton and she has a tendency towards dry/caustic sarcasm that’s not everyone’s cup of tea. I…

I enjoyed it nonetheless.

In that clip I enjoyed watcing Miss South Carolina’s pageant smile slowly slip away in the background as Miss Michigan spoke.

Based on these quotes, it is pretty clear she’s talking about designers and not models. The names on the calendars would be designers’ names.  

I love cats. But I’ve seen examples in the Caribbean of how the removal of invasive species (cats, goats, dogs, pigs, rats) can rapidly and almost miraculously revitalise an island’s biodiversity, especially for egg-laying species (birds, reptiles). New Zealand has a relatively high number of species of flightless…

I avoided shopping at J Crew for years because I’d heard lots of bad things about their sizing and the quality of their clothes and everything being polyester and things being overprices. Year before last I decided to give them a try and my experience has been fine so far. I’ve gotten several  100% cotton shirts/blouse…

Ms. Polanco’s first name is spelled Dascha with a c. And as far as I’m concerned, she wins this red carpet. 

That was a distraction to me too every time she was on-screen. Which wasn’t that often after the first 10 minutes or so, so didn’t take away from the movie too much.

Could take or leave the song, but love the visuals, the colours, the energy of the video. All that beautiful blackness! And just when I was thinking, “But I want to see Janet dance! Isn’t she going to—” It happened, she danced. ICONIC.

LOVED THIS. Thank you Clover, and thank you Joan (for this interview and for When Chickenheads...ʼwhich was formative to my early black girl feminism).

Hyori’s B&B has been on my to-watch list for ages.  So many shows, so little time.

This has popped up in my Netflix recs a few times and I’ve been debating whether to watch it. Based solely on the title of this article, I’ve decided it’s a yes. 

Ah, didn’t notice that. As soon as her brother was introduced I was trying to figure out the “endeavour” pun in his name, and totally overlooked Evelyn’s pun potential.
