If you can find a place that does sugaring, I find it less painful. I suspect that's because they are taking out smaller patches of hair at a time. And a place that concentrates mostly on waxing will be better than a place with a broader menu. Ask friends for recommendations. Read online reviews.

Hey, maybe there is a niche market for Waxing Doulas! They can shepherd people through their first experience, reassure you that what you want is normal, recommend good places to go, keep blacklists of judgmental waxers.

I remember a picture of her from years ago (like, I was in high school) standing next to some implanted swimsuit model who was dressed in something that barely contained her assets. Dr. Ruth's head was at the same level as the boob, and about the same size. It was hilarious, and still my favourite picture

I'm with you, the pubic mound hurts the worst!

Yep, it's just assumed here that you'll take mat leave, they will replace you with someone on a contract, and then you come back at the end and take up more or less where you left off (note that I've worked primarily in government, or government-adjacent, which either has unions, or operates like they do. Which means…

Her hair in that video is my idol. I have taken more than one of of her pics in to my hairdresser. Dammit, now I want to cut my hair, and that would be throwing away years of hair-growing work!

I once ran across a gospel choir between Brussels and Bruges. It was kind of fun. But had it been a bunch of musical theatre types...well, you've seen In Bruges, right?

Yeah, the worst thing about witchcraft are most of the other damn witches, but I was really hoping to pick up a new cauldron at the fair!*

I just want to know why none of us got to kiss his broken ankle better. Or am I assuming too much, and some of you DID?

Fair enough. I think autistic is probably used because it takes less time to say/type, and also follows the rules for how English works. I have myopia, therefore I am myopic. Most people (and you obviously recognize this) aren't making value judgements when they use 'autistic', but it can feel like a value judgement.…

I've had to borrow socks on occasion, and it was much appreciated when a guy had a decent pair, in black, lying around.

That implies that the anti-contraception men are aware of the concept of 'consent'.

Both my sisters are raising happy, loved, smart, well-adjusted children, and they both have multiple university degrees, though none of them related to child-rearing. I tell you that they have multiple degrees, so you understand that they are well-educated and well-read. And neither of them has read a single book on…

Just because I don't revere motherhood doesn't mean that I am disdainful of it. I don't consider it a profession; it requires no study, or special skills, though there is certainly a case to be made that it *should*. I wonder if you are projecting some insecurities onto me? My body can do a lot of pretty neat things,…

You say privilege, I say biological process that the majority of women are able to perform. It is (or should be) an awesome responsibility, but a privilege? Well, if you're going with the definition as 'a special right, advantage, or immunity granted or available only to a particular person or group of people' then…

It was a case where the only thing without red meat was the tuna salad, and it had olives. And speaking of rotting fish-the other night I was taking the subway to the far reaches of the universe (ie. I was on it for a very long time) and there was a lady who had obviously just been shopping at the Rotting Fish Market.…

Most of our grocery stores seem to have olive bars these days. I have to hold my breath when I walk past. Because even the smell makes me nauseated. And as for meat-you've heard of vegetarians, right? ;)

One time, there were olives in the tuna salad. Who puts something as polarizing as olives into something as intentionally innocuous as tuna salad. Everything this caterer made had some weird, out of place ingredient, like meat where there should only be vegetables, which meant I couldn't eat any of it.

Is anyone going to explain the image accompanying this article? Why does wheelchair-person use a different bathroom from wheelchair-person-on-a-ramp? And who does the person-wearing-toga represent? Ancient Romans? Hare Krishnas?

I don't think it's his lack of philately that's the problem. I suspect he's just upset that he's not get fellated. Literally or figuratively.
