I mean, if you’re okay with exploiting impoverished people in developing countries, then rock on. But Forever 21 is cheap because it rips off original designers and employs child and almost-slave labor to produce its crap. Anytime something seems too good to be true, it is.

it’s also a very flattering narrative: “ I was able to pull myself up by my own bootstraps, and it was because of my awesomeness and hard work ect etc.” Therefore those who can’t, can’t because they must be lazy or weak or have some other character flaw.
H&M sucks. It used to actually have clothes adult women could wear, now it’s just all trashy outfits. I pretty much stick with Uniqlo now for affordable and comfortable basics. Their legging jeans are the only jeans I can wear.
Agreed. My grubby hands would ruin those pristine white compacts.
THE NUMBERS! USE THE NUMBERS!!
Euros don’t even fit in European wallets. It’s the dumbest thing.
The only reason I even know about it was because the Power Puff Girls had an episode where they fought against a “feminist” villian and Blossom schooled her in feminism. The only bad thing about it was that Blossom described Susan B. Anthony like a hero and even 8 year old me knew that was bullshit. I was a strange…
As a white man, I vote no, because any recognition that people who don’t look like me get means that I am diminished somehow. I’m not sure how, but it totally means that.
There are dozens of us! Dozens!!
Don is a cancer, spreading through lives. He doesn’t want to be, he just wants to live, but he is.
When she said, “What was I ever going for?” I cried. I feel bad for Betty.
No, she’s refusing treatment because she knows it won’t do any good. She’s bravely accepting her death. I think it’s really freeing for her, in a strange way.
But as Betty also said, she had to deal with planning her own mother’s funeral. Telling Sally exactly what needs to be done is a way of alleviating some of the pain that Sally will inevitably be going through.
Out of all the reviews I’ve read no one has really discussed who will be taking custody of the Draper children on Betty’s death. I assumed Henry for some reason, but then realized he has no biological link to any of the kids and wouldn’t have grounds to keep them. So logically the end of the series is Don having to…
I know lots of people read that scene as a reflection on Betty’s vanity, but god, it just broke my heart. That line, “Will you tell them how I like my hair?” - Betty knows that no one will do right by her like her daughter and she’s entrusting that to her. Yes, it’s superficial, but it’s also a measure of control…
“I never thought she’d make it to college, but there she is” - uh, she went to Bryn Mawr? This is a Master’s degree that she’s studying for?
Also I think it’s pretty obvious that she isn’t refusing treatment because she “loves the tragedy”, she dispatched that quite quickly and convincingly when Sally said it. You…
“Sally burst into tears, and maybe you did, too.” Yep, I sure did. And I almost did again now, too. It was beautifully heartbreaking.
