I've had it on the fingers of my right hand for a few years now and just this month had my first facial breakout. Luckily it just looks like I've had a cold for about 2 weeks since it's mostly around my nose, but pretty soon it's going to stop just being red and itchy and it's going to start boiling up. At that point…

Just saw Spring Breakers and I'm looking for people to talk about this with, so sorry if this reply is waaaay late and you're no longer interested, but here ya go:

I think there is something to say about the interpretation of this film as an expression of the peculiarities of white female privilege. Most…

Seconded. And though I don't think there is a good place to have eczema, having it on your face and hands is Really Fucking Awful.

Let me in on your secrets! What's your regimen? I know this is counter to the point of the article but as a perma-acne-haver (having accepted long ago that it's not going away) it's so fun to talk about this kind of thing!

HEAR HEAR

As one of the lucky millions who are stuck with painful cystic ("lurker") acne probably for the rest of their lives I have this to say about blackheads:

At least you can pop them.

Uh oh... Laverne Cox is playing Sophia Burset, not the other way around. Someone should let the author know they've mixed up the body text before they embarrass themselves :/

Rowsdower's got one of screendom's best rear ends!

That's why I selectively adblock: support the sites you love and don't suffer the ads of sites you don't :)

I hear this argument a lot so apparently I am the only one plagued with dummies for friends who think going to see the 3D version is a good idea. "Fine," they say when I remind them that it's not, "go see the 2D version by yourself."

This is something I've been thinking about a while, too. I have two interjections completely unrelated to each other but related to this discussion:

Firstly, I want to point out that there are subcultures in North America where this body restriction is not so highly valued among women. There are places where women are…

Lori Saine had JUST been talking about black people in the statement before that one. We are not talking about two separate ideas here, it's obvious by her train of thought that in her mind southern food and black food are the same thing, that she believes the only people eating enough southern food to suffer from it…

Is there no way to sew up the messed up bits or replace them cyborg-style? More backpack than backpack!

PENTEL RSVP FTW!! i use them for my art. in 10 years i have been betrayed but once, using them on a day that was +45 C and the ink couldn't keep its smooth texture. clumpy and runny as all hell. but ive never seen a more loyal pen in all my days.

I'm sorry to hear that you're struggling with ED. Admittedly as someone who has, luckily and frankly bafflingly, never had to struggle with an eating disorder, I spent my teenage years being mocked for being thin under the assumption that I was bulemic. The taunts were a mixed bag of body-shaming and concern trolling,…

Curious, has anyone here watched My Mad Fat Diary? Thoughts?

What Rae has to say about fat-shaming:

Just rewatched a bunch of episodes and remembered why I identified with Tino so much. He's such a worrier!

I'd like to add Lor and Tish (of The Weekenders) to this discussion.

Anecdotal, but there was a time when I was a teenager and I was going through a bad time after my first breakup where my weight dropped considerably because of depression and puberty. That boy started some rumours about my being bulimic and, having started on the pill that year and discovering that it wreaked havoc on…

Their lighting and CG people make such a good team they should just get mass married already.
