Because humor literally helps people learn? So if you aren’t inclined to think twice about Puerto Rico or why you should give money to people rebuilding there, laughing at pictures of awkward celebrities will actually engage you when otherwise you would ignore the situation? And if say 8 percent of people who…

I am surprised how sad I am that she isn’t Eva Pigford anymore. I really loved that she was a knockout with a cartoonishly unflattering last name.
Janet Damita Jo Jackson’s career is not now and has never been effectively canceled.
I will definitely read this, thank you for the recommendation! I have been sewing about 20 years and in that time I have seen the quality of fabric decline terribly; I suspect there simply aren’t as many mills making quality fabric as there used to be. It is easy to find crappy knits, but harder and harder to find…
PS I just figured out that the kids aren’t suddenly very excited about Aesop Rock, who is from 10 years ago and therefore I am familiar with.
Fascinating! And for no good reason whatsoever, I would have assumed that Prada was well constructed because... Italian something something. I want you to make a blog that reveals all the dirty secrets of high fashion construction. Whose seam allowances are just sloppily serged? Who has the most elegant bias bindings?…
That is an excellent point and makes me feel better.
From the point of view of someone who loves to sew and wishes she could make a living as a dressmaker — the Gigi Hadid story implies that fancy designer clothes are poorly made and/or poorly fitted, and THAT MAKES ME CRAZY.

Pauline Black is here to teach the children how it is done.
As someone who has also worked in rare books / special collections / archives, I am super jealous. I got to hold some pretty cool stuff though (I have worn Anne Sexton’s glasses! I have held Tennessee Williams’s San Francisco YMCA card --imagine all the sex! And a Gloria Swanson gown -- she was so tiny it looked like…
I am so glad you said this. I read that and thought, “Porter Wagoner would have something to say about that.”
He made incredible suits for Buck Owens and his Buckaroos —
I am not getting Barb as much as I am Leslie Hall
I was treated as a criminal. I wasn’t given a chance to explain myself. I wasn’t asked: What happened? I was just thrown behind bars. I felt like I was seen as a monster.
No, I’m afraid it isn’t. The initial program does not need to have shown measurable success. It needs to have had a convincing advocate, and to have been duplicated elsewhere.
That is a shame, because ‘evidence-based’ is a pretty important development. Say you are an urban public library and the community you serve wants you to offer a family literacy program. Great! There are 5 programs to choose from. How do you choose if nobody is gathering any evidence of what their program does for the…
Barbra Joan Streisand has insisted on being photographed on her left side for nearly fifty years — since Cecil Beaton informed her it was her better side. Why is this suddenly news? Do none of you know any elderly gays? I have never been more aware of living in the San Francisco Bubble.
Next you are going to tell me to say ruh-NAY-sense for renaissance, and I will have to punch you square in the face.
