I read both Freedom and The Corrections in a short period of time and didn’t find them to be especially profound and thought they were entertaining “long form fiction” because all I had really read at that point was French and Russian novels from the 19th century. Hahaha. That was what actually got me to abandon my

Same. My husband does not decimate the bathroom at any time and I had nothing to do with this AS IT SHOULD F-ING BE.

This is making me do the weird shaking silent cry laugh at my desk. Oh god.

Generally I am all about aggressively experimental looks and love when people just do their thing (anything but boring is good basically) but this whole thing is a hot mess tm. Even to me. Which is saying something.

I’ve always been in this camp. And you know what? Someone as insanely talented as he is actually has some right to be self-indulgent and aggrandizing. The degree of influence he has on the sound of popular music is almost impossible to understate. He’s a certified genius who is really really bad at public speaking and

The essence of Kanye.

Or: “It’s all the same shit and there’s nothing wrong with any of it.” I am so so tired of this minutiae of categorization of every single thing that happens in women’s bodies. Do what you want and what you have to medically. Period, enough already. Enough of the stupid stigma and made-up distinctions that were

If you guys will elect me President of the United States of America, I will make it the law of the land that anyone who begins screaming or making threats in a restaurant will be immediately kicked out and banned, no questions.

I consistently sit through the entirety of Last Week Tonight giggling like a love-struck 12 year old. My John Oliver crush is sweet & gentle like that.

I’m excited to see that Witch movie, but I really wish some pop-culture venue would portray witches without adhering solely to the Christian conception of who/what they are.

I hope the costume designer/stylist for the show is getting some credit in all this! I didn’t see any names mentioned. The Sex & The City designer and that lady at Barney’s got semi-famous (not enough for me to know their names off the top of my head but c’mon, I have a day job) off their work.

Just wait, they’ll probably be on white-looking mannequins.

This is fascinating!

Same. I grew up on a reservation and Indian or Native was definitely preferred. Also SO sick of white dudes being like “oh I’m 1/16th Cherokee” or whatever who have obviously never participated in the tribe or culture at all. Plus people seem to always say Cherokee for some reason even though the only tribes around

Yeah, they’re developing x-ray lidar right now, I think that would be even more detailed/informative, right? Regular lidar has lead to lots of breakthroughs already in just the last 5-10 years.

The first time I saw one of these my friend showed it to me all excited and I was like “uhh cool wow that’s really some...technology there!” Cause it was horrifying. But really, what do people expect? Oh that’s right, they expect a teeny tiny Real Baby just like in all the pro-life billboards!

My question is, why do these mysterious “people” need to see your immediate post-birth photo anyway, glammed up or otherwise? If it feels vulnerable or personal or you just don’t think you look like the “you” that everyone else usually sees, just don’t show them. It’s ok to have private, personal experiences and

They’re not self-hating, they’re “temporarily embarrassed millionaires,” as Steinbeck said.

Haha maybe they thought you meant like a gigolo? Or a guy who wears leisure suits? You and I probably speak a different version of English compared to a lot of people in our midst...

I can’t meditate upon waking because I have to use every single ounce of mental energy to keep myself from calling in, saying “I QUIT” and spending the rest of my days shriveling away reading in bed. My ideal lifestyle is “Proust after he went crazy” during the day and LiLo on a bender at night. Participating in
