My vote goes to Catherine Zeta-Jones around her time in the Zorro movies.

Plus being a book you can just imagine the characters any damn way you want.

What I liked about her background characters were that they were well written and not just relegated to “Oh here’s another character”. You ended up -liking- her background characters as much as the main ones and caring about what happened to them. I also found it rather interesting that we went from the highest…

Yeah but Hermione really should have been explicitly a WOC, imo. It wouldn’t only be good for diversity it makes sense with her storyline.
And I think JK Rowling agrees with that (she has favorited tweets about it).

What does she mean by children’s books? Like Harry Potter YA stuff or like some crap for smaller kids that won’t even appreciate it like I will and haven’t done shit in their entire lives to deserve it?

So... you suggest that someone’s argument is based on anecdotal evidence and then respond to it with... anecdotal evidence.

I didn’t feel inspired to cite a bunch of studies while half asleep in bed and using my iPhone with Carpal Tunnel, but there’s plenty of research on this. It’s not merely anecdotal nor is it about how “the womenz just complains more on the internets.” Guys don’t get together on social media to talk about their…

I like a lot of your posts, but “This is what I think and anyone who posts anything in disagreement is just proving my point” is pretty lazy posting behavior.

No gonna try and speak to your experience or anything, but I’ve seriously never understood this “vegan dictating their life choices to others” archetype as anything but a paranoid fantasy of people who feel somehow attacked by the personal choices of others which in no way affect anyone else.

Not wrong

you need better drugs, I think.

Yeah I am sure it is a subconscious thing, but I mentioned elsewhere that I think my type helps. I can’d deal with arrogant guys, no matter how attractive they are. My instinct is to put them in their place, not fuck them.

I’m a Title IX Coordinator, and the way we’re approaching this is to intertwine consent and sexual respect when we speak about initiating sex. That is: you want to have sex. But for you to have sex, another person is involved. It’s a mutual act. When it’s all about your pleasure, then you’re not engaging in a mutual…

I had that *exact* same thought reading this! Like, if I’m not enjoying it, I’m going to tell you what you can do differently, but guys are soooooo into making women cum that sometimes I have to gently tell them that its just not going to happen right then, but I still enjoy having sex with them. But I also live in a…

Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) - which includes so-called “free radicals” - are actually one of the ways cells trigger/signal apoptosis in response to cellular stress (particularly radiation, like the kind found in radiation treatment for cancer) or critical DNA damage, aka mutations, aka things that may cause a cell…

I liked how she went into that space of thinking about the effects of the two of them, but (I thought) not indulging in voyeurism. Especially the contrasts of how Jack and Ma feel about Room on the outside, and the near-invisibility of Old Nick through Jack’s viewpoint, felt “honest” if not entirely “real” (honest v…

Liars. Men lie constantly about the sexual escapades.

my niece has terrible scarring from her bout with cystic acne. What she thinks has made a difference is this treatment in the derms office where they roll a devices studded with needles over your face (micro needling?). It is bloody, but it stimulates the regrowth of collegen. I don’t know what it costs, but it’s…

Sure! The products I use are from Make-up Artist’s Choice. I use the retinol .50 every other day (works wonders), the 50% glycolic acid peel and the 18% TCA every 6 months (but I’d advise you to work your way up to this %). There are many concentrations and options, if you get overwhelmed customer service can help…

Definitely pigmentation and general texture issues. There is research that shows that glycolic acid penetrates the skin and can encourage collagen production, and it also reduces the appearance of pores. If you have serious indented scarring, I don’t think that it is going to do very much (I use microneedling to…
