I’m just imagining how I was when I was 14 and I would have been sobbing and terrified. Granted, I am white and had no idea how to build a clock so this wouldn’t have happened, but still. He is a kid! The poor kid. The entire thing must have been terrifying and horrible.

UGH I would be connected to a strangely large number of men who all work in oil and gas companies with no real names - Company: Oil and Gas Dealing. What is going on with this.

I DO think there is a way to compliment people you don’t know without being a creep, and that way is not making it sexual. I love complimenting women (oh GOD that does sound terrible) on fashion choices, hairdos, outfits, etc., as long as it’s “wow, that necklace is beautiful!” and not like, “that necklace really sets…

In the last maybe ... four months I have suddenly started getting messages from strange dudes asking to “connect” with me and featuring clearly copy-pasted messages about how amazing it is to find someone so special online. WTF. Not the poin of LinkedIn.

NPR had a snippet about her this morning and it had a bit of her actually speaking. I hadn’t heard her speak before - why would I? - but it was horrifying, to hear the things she says actually come out of someone’s mouth and not just read them. Also she has a terrible voice and sounded like she was choked up and it…

How is it possible to hate Barcelona.

It could potentially be a unifying experience for the rest of government. We might get some real bipartisan cooperation to deal with his shit.

Good point - everyone thinks that going back in time means being in the prosperous class. No one imagines what it would be like to be the parallel of where they are now - which would probably suck - or where their ancestors were. The parallel of where I am now - married, comfortably middle class - would still have…

Yeah I think anyone who romanticizes the past should watch those shows, which were excellent. My father was obsessed with the frontier one, which looked like hell.

Per her website, people DO pay them for it - they give presentations and do consulting for movies and theater and whatever and are paid for both. She has also written books. AND she is a a licensed massage therapist, which is apparently a thing that still existed in the Victorian era, although I cannot imagine what I…

Such a reasonable opinion! If only more people could figure that out. I, personally, would gnaw off my own arm to get out of a pregnancy, but I can understand other opinions!

I also do not see it and I am generally inclined to see dicks.

I live in Austin where it is still currently Hot As Balls, so any time I see fall collections I am baffled - I can’t imagine wearing pants for another month (I am not a native Austenite, you can recognize them by the jeans when it’s over 100 out).

I would wear the shit out of that dress. It’s aggressive, but I love it. (Add a black jacket and it would tone it down a little).

I just said that above - it’s like the 70’s but via the 90’s. Which we do not need AT ALL.

There were actually about three things I legitimately liked (and I might have tried on those Aldo booties recently) but the rest looked like 70’s rejects filtered through the 90’s.

This is also actually cute.

I would gladly wear this. I look great in shift dresses, have been wanting some with long sleeves, actually like this print, and like weird prints in general.

I am only six years older than this woman and have NO idea what is going on with this business - apparently I am also old. I couldn’t have run a business at 23, but apparently neither can she.
