While people in that era were definitely less skeptical about photographs than we are now, it wasn’t exactly a secret that photographs could be faked, so I have to wonder whether people were motivated to believe by a deep psychological need. It was on the heels of WWI, and magical, mischievous nature spirits with…

Late to the party, but... Amanda “Amanda Fucking Palmer” Palmer. UGH

I feel the need to interject that I made a ring mold cake decorated to look like an anus for my friend’s birthday once. It even had licorice laces for butt hairs. It was a thing of beauty.

I’ve seen a lot of Diane hate around the internet (and a little bit on here) because people see her as ungrateful to Mr. Peanutbutter for his attempts to do nice things for her. I don’t think either of them is supposed to be the bad guy. Diane is passive-aggressive; lying and pretending to be in another country to…

My trademark look is wearing pants without putting my legs in the leg holes, so I’m kind of into this.

I don’t really know anything about Melania’s background, but I’m wondering what the odds are that she’s literally never held a shovel in her life until now. She looks like someone coached her on proper shovel holding just before these photos were taken.

IDENTITY CONDIMENTS. Omg.

My mind went immediately to Flowers in the Attic.

Also came here to say this. It’s unfortunate that a website that regularly (and justly) bashes Woody Allen has a blind spot about MJ.

Horses can be potty trained? Huh. I always thought people who had miniature horses indoors just had to be cool with spending their lives cleaning up poop. Now that I know this, my eight-year-old inner child reeeeally wants a house horse.

Can confirm. Especially good: chocolate zucchini cake with a generous amount of chocolate chunks in it, and sour cream frosting.

Whoa! I feel so bad for this woman that it takes away the satisfaction of saying “I told you so.”

Obligatory for any thread about shaved pussies:

I’m a vegetarian and I used to work at a grocery store, and now I can’t help picturing what it would have been like if I’d done this.

When someone uses the term “virtue signalling,” what I hear is “I am unable to conceive of how anyone could genuinely hold opinions that reflect concern for anything other than their immediate personal benefit.”

What TeemingWithTypos said, plus the fact that it’s essential to the story that he doesn’t “pass” as a cis man (he was pre/non-op and had not had hormone therapy) enough to escape the notice of his murderers. Casting a cis man in the role would’ve undermined that.

Yeah, I was thinking about FSoG even before it appeared in the quotation from Lily. There was a lot of debate a few years ago (including at Jezebel) between people who condemned the books for promoting dangerous ideas, and people who said we should give some credit to James’ audience of (mostly) adults, who presumably…

What’s the evidence that they were lying?
