Your comment contains a worrying amount of scientific misinformation. Vaseline / petroleum jelly / petrolatum is a great occlusive moisturizer: it works as a barrier product to keep irritating substances off the skin, and it keeps skin moist by preventing the loss of moisture to the air, though it doesn’t add moisture…

Agnes Scott’s current motto is “Educating women to think deeply, live honorably and engage the intellectual and social challenges of their times,” which is pretty close!

Agnes Scott can now proudly add Life of the Party to the “Movies With An ASC Cameo” film list to be hyped at length. As far as I know they still screen Scream 2 on the campus quad every fall!

in this fictional Midwestern university (I’ve chosen to believe it’s Decatur, Illinois, and not Georgia)

Hell no Dylan didn’t deserve that prize more than every woman writer on Earth to the point that they reinterpreted the rules of “literature” to give the prize to a musician. Let Dylan keep his many well-deserved music prizes and/or create a new Nobel Prize in Music to give him if he’s so special.

The Drunk Elephant Peekee and Juju Bars are very fancy, very expensive, and very effective, because they’ve been formulated to not be basic bitches wrecking your skin, like most bar cleansers. I quote:

WRONG. Title of my rebuttal: Bar Soap Is a Cheap Basic Scam That’s Bad For Your Skin and You Fell For It

This is a perfectly good routine that nonetheless needs SUNSCREEN.

GIVE THE NOBEL PRIZE TO A WOMAN

Yeah, people somehow think anxiety is the same thing as shyness or introversion, like outgoing extroverts can’t have anxiety.

I hope she made copies of those letters for posterity because Trump tossed them straight into the trash.

The intown schools are severely racially divided, too: Most black kids attend Mitchell County public schools; white kids tend to enroll in the private school, Westwood.

In 2014 I was working retail as a department manager in a big box chain store, making the princely sum of $10/hour—but at least I was guaranteed 40 hours a week, and as a full-timer I got health insurance.

The Supernatural fanvid “Women’s Work” is always relevant in these conversations about violent misogyny towards women in film.

Sunscreen! Sunscreen is the #1 most important product to help scars fade! And keep the scar and skin around it well-moisturized. Especially if you’ll be using other abrasive or exfoliating products on the scar, do not let that raw scar tissue face the sun unprotected and dry.

But why, Lea??

Why do “outlets that can’t—and couldn’t even if they got their shit together—afford to pay anyone” deserve the donation of free labor more than any other business? Are these charities?

They had her pummeling glass with her fists. No thanks to the movie company, it’s a fucking miracle that she didn’t slice open her wrists and/or cut tendons that would cripple her hands for life.

I’m so sorry that happened to you! As to what triggered the attack, it honestly sounds like misdirected/redirected aggression: Molly the cat was suddenly frightened or upset by something, and she lashed out at you as the closest available target. Redirected aggression in cats sucks because, like in your case, it…

I hope both that Hickson gets paid AND that she can successfully parlay the facial scar into a cool distinguishing mark for film roles, like Harry Potter’s scar. I could definitely see her working as a scream queen or a cool warrior badass, etc. where she could highlight the scarring instead of covering it. But at…
