I wasn’t sure whether to reply to this but looking at your comment history I think you are sincere. My statement is about a much more insidious and complex issue than “poor people are ugly”.

I don’t know... they scream “mutton dressed as lamb” to me.

The stat that convinced me to get an IUD is that while only 8% of women who use birth control use an IUD, 40% of women who work in the medical field and use birth control use an IUD. So basically the women with the most access to information and options having overwhelmingly picked the IUD over other options.

Mr Penguin works in the grocery industry and recently moved from a mixed neighbourhood to a firmly council housing/underemployed neighbourhood and came home after his first week and said “I never really saw the link between income and attractiveness before but it’s really astounding.”

This is my favourite - Lorde covering Don’t Tell ’em.

It’s easier to see in the pictures from the runway and I think if the fabric was stretched out it would be really obvious.

Not gonna lie. I would probably wear these (with the caveat that I would have to try them on). Not with high ankle boots or loose tops (why would I want to make myself look shorter???) but with a fitted crop top? Sold.

My mum knows I don’t want kids but told me that if I “had an accident” she would raise it. If it comes up again I am sending her this article like “It is not the baby at the end of the process that is my only concern...”

I already didn’t want kids but if I was on the fence this would have been a decision-making read.

Yeeessss... I have a pair of burgundy leather boots that I got on sale and they are so comfortable - I wear them all winter. I will have to have them re-soled this year but that’s standard after 2 years.

I got this from a dollar store and it makes me laugh whenever I use it. Yes it is called Race Face. Yes it has a bottle opener at one end. #branding

I really love this cover - I actually clicked to see if anyone had posted it! She really brings out the darkness of that song.

I love you. This is hilarious.

Okay that makes waaaaay more sense as a match for this concept. That balance of funny/serious is key.

You can read it now! It’s a great horror that manages to balance funny and scary. I highly recommend it. I read a lot of horror and this one stands out from the last couple years.

The book really plays on this idea - that at first being lost seems normal but then the more you walk in circles the more you realize that you’re not just lost.

It is a great horror book. It was the motivation for the development of the “If you put a pillow on top of it then it can’t get you” rule in my home/friend group.

Agreed. I cannot cope with even one unread message. More than 100...?

So I do drink, but not nearly as much as my colleagues, so my #1 tip is to order a soft drink at the bar with a lemon or lime, and don’t comment about it and most people assume you’re drinking a mixed drink. My preference is usually either tonic water or soda water. Then you can just be like “I don’t like beer” or “I…

Haha - that’s what I said! “If it gets that mangled I’ll just cover it with something colourful and awesome.”
