Pssst—Alexandra was the wife of Edward VII, not VIII. (Yeah, I know, who gives a fuck.)

I have literally fallen asleep during a Judith Butler lecture. Like, eyes closed and some drooling. Not proud of it, but there you are.

Can I ask about the egg thing? I'm a vegan too, but I've always said that I wouldn't have a problem with eggs from rescue chickens if that was ever an option. If your chickens weren't too old to lay, what reason would you have had to not eat the eggs?

Sorry, sounds like you're just an especially committed fan. Just one who prefers to write papers rather than dress up. Why is one of those things better than the other?

I think it's fair to acknowledge that much of what the feminist movement has focused on has excluded women of color, but I don't think it's fair to say that therefore the word needs to be abandoned and saying you are a "womanist" rather than a "feminist" is helpful in any way. There isn't an office somewhere filled…

I'm not sure why this is coming up now; I thought it was a fairly well-known historical tidbit. Rudyard Kipling's "The Janeites" is closely related to this. (It's cool that you're too busy to Google the things you post about, though, Doug.)

All of this! I actively avoid telling people I'm vegan unless asked, and often if I don't know them very well I'll just say I'm vegetarian. (Of course, some of this is that I've been known to eat the occasional gifted non-vegan baked good, just in the interest of full disclosure.) The eating meat conversation is one…

I think it's someone's lap!

At first I thought it was going to be a photoshopped picture of a baby with a large posterior. Or at least massive diaper-butt. But no. Their point is that the baby's SKIN is BROWN. Like Kanye. Because he's BLACK. But we can't spell it out, folks, because that would be inappropriate. Or something. TMZ, you are…

A PSA for everyone involved: toplessness has been legal in all of New York State for over twenty years.

It's not just the wife, right? Someone correct my google-translate Italian please, but doesn't the grave say "Famiglia Edmone"? His whole goddamn family is dead. This is not helping my hormonal weepiness.

Really it's much more of a pain to deal with tampons and pads. Once you figure out how to get it to work, menstrual cups are amazingly easy/hassle-free. (I'm just not telling my housemates what I use the sauce pot for once a month...)

I was literally wondering what to do with my fairly grimy DivaCup yesterday. Oh well, I guess it's one of those things I'm fairly certain no one else will ever see.

I guess it all has to do with the baby's position, but surely the smaller-framed she was the more she'd be likely to show?

Excellent point!

Hmm, that's odd. Their social media people need to get everyone in line, I guess!

Comment summary: I choose my choices! Social context doesn't exist!

On the other hand, you might get someone like Audrey here, who's been a fitter for 32 years but thinks a "too-large" cup size is a common problem.

If you're in the US and not near a specialty lingerie shop, really your only option is online, sadly.

According to their youtube channel, they add five inches to your band size, which is not at all recommended. It's a relic of the era when non-stretch fabrics were used for bras. If your bras are comfortable, that's great, but I wouldn't recommend them if their methods are the same as the ones they recommend on youtube.
