Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is probably younger than Aaron Carter, who will always be 14 in my mind.

That’s a really helpful analysis. Thanks for taking the time to respond :)

Important addendum: I have no fucking clue what I’m talking about, from a psychiatric or sociological perspective.

I don’t know details of her upbringing, so here’s hoping I’m wrong, but it really doesn’t seem like I am so far. The trajectory of her fame (constant need for any type of attention, erratic behavior likely associated to abusing drugs and/or other mental illness, displays of narcissism, etc.) seems very similar to a…

I feel bad for her, the same way I do for Justin Bieber and Lindsay Lohan, in that I think they’re awful fucking humans, but I can’t help but truly feel heartbroken about the lack of a stable, loving influence in any of their lives.

Point taken, but I truly don’t care who Brad Pitt (or any individual) dates. He was a stand-in for a generic Famous White Person, because he was the only one I could think of (even though Leonardo DiCaprio was also mentioned in the same quote that got Brad Pitt stuck in my head, and probably would’ve been a better…

Yeah, but that’s primarily an issue of taste in this case, right? Like, this line isn’t a bunch of beige, shapeless uniforms; it’s just not something you (and lots of people) don’t like. (And obviously, it’s not above criticism based on individual taste/opinion just because it’s taking a positive social stance.)

I did not look close. I’m also terrible at discerning gender/sex in prepubescent kids without any indicators, so that definitely could have been a boy.

Yeah . . . there was a tulle dress that was, of course, only modeled by a girl. 

I don’t fully understand your issue with this, so I could well be missing something very important, but I’m very excited to have kids’ products that are marketed as gender-neutral. It’s absolutely infuriating how gendered EVERYTHING in the kids’ section is. 

He was a place holder because I couldn’t think of any other white actors at that moment (not sure why I didn’t pick Leonardo DiCaprio . . . ).

“Jennifer Garner won’t call her boyfriend . . . her boyfriend.”

I don’t think we should ask anyone this question, but if we are, why aren’t we asking, like, Brad Pitt*? I can’t think of a single WOC he’s dated— what’s that about?

Nope. Though I’m sure they would now. 

I waited on a lot of very old money, extremely wealthy people, many of whom probably were in marriages of convenience, to some extent. There was something almost eerie about the way Ivanka and Jared spoke with each other. 

They struck me as never having seen each other barefoot.

I’m very much digging almost every pant suit, especially Mae Whitman’s.

According to Wikipedia:

I bring this up a little too often, but I waited on Ivanka and Jared once (probably in early 2015, just before the campaign was officially announced and Trump started going off about Mexicans being rapists), and their entire selves are uncanny valley. They compared calendars early in the dinner and I truly thought…

Lenny Kravitz says he’s abstaining from sex until/unless he gets married again, which seems like a travesty*.
