An indie makeup company just released a Baba Yaga blush this morning. The timing of the release on the same day as the results of the poll is actually complete synchronicity since it’s part of their Halloween collection that was developed and scheduled for today a while ago, but I feel like I should mention it anyway.

screw you, Baba Yaga flosses her teeth with the sinews of weak wives like Melania

original Baba Yaga is feminist, this one is a gold digger.

YES

I was recently sick and immobile in bed for a week so I binge watched most of “Girlfriends” again, and watching this video now is kind of scary because she looks almost EXACTLY the same, and it reminded me of how cool she made Joan’s quirkiness!

I am happily imagining Tracee and her brother and sister-in-law heading over to Diana Ross’s house for a sing-a-long and cookie baking party. Yep, I’m going with that.

The “teens don’t work” thing makes me literally laugh out loud, because when I go back to my hometown all the jobs that me and my siblings used to work are now done by grown adults. Because they are the only jobs available. “Back in the day” it made sense for kids to work at the grocery store as a cashier, because…

I was a super responsible teen. I worked more than 20 hours a week while getting good grades and helping around the house. I have to say, I kind of feel like I wasted my youth. There are somethings that I would never take back, like being the first person in my family to go to college and breaking the cycle of…

I think that teens now do a lot of group outings. Friend groups are less gender-segregated than they have ever been. It allows them to spend time with someone that they are interested in without the pressure.

Yes.

I think so too. For all it’s faults, people don’t really get drunk/high/pregnant/in a car accident while hanging out on social media from their house. I think the heightened anxiety might be the other edge of that sword though

If I had to guess, it’s probably some combination of video games, social media, and Netflix.

My 18 year old cousin uses her mom’s credit card (that her mom gave her) to take Ubers and pay for lunch or brunch with her friends at restaurants so they can practice for their post-college future in the city using their parent’s credit cards for brunch

As a teen myself, I didn’t work, but I did clean house, do laundry, take care of various animals, and cooked supper every day while my mom and siblings worked summer jobs. I could cook to feed a family of 6 at the age of 13.

There was a 13 years old girl in my 7th grade class back in 1995 who got pregnant and had a baby. We were all like... whoaaaaa... Today I can barely imagine a 20 years old person being fully responsible to take care of a baby cos 20 years old are now being heavily infantilized :-/

What do teens do over the summer if they don’t work? This is a real question. When I was young I went to day camps or spent the summer with my grandmom in Atlantic City. I had one summer after grandmom died and when I was really too old for the camp where I did a lot nothing, I think. Then starting at fifteen I…

yeah, back then, going on a date was about having the opportunity to see the other person’s face, talk with them and spend time with them. I am sure we all could remember having massive crushes on people and desperately looking for any way possible to catch a glimpse of them in public so a scoring date with one’s…

I have only one friend who had a child at age 20 (with a married partner) and it boggles my mind. I can’t imagine having had a kid at that age! I was in no ways prepared mentally and emotionally at 20. I could barely take care of myself. Everyone else in my circle started having babies around 30-35. I don’t think…

Sorry, the formula worked back then because people weren’t concerned about PC.
