I'm going to bring you out of the greys but I'm not going to watch that.

I read an article, that postulated that some venus figures might be representations that pregnant women made of themselves from the perspective of looking down onto their bodies.

I’ve been on a computer break, so I am seeing this late. As an archaeologist who has friends that work on European Paleolithic sites, this article is bullshit. While the findings are interesting way to look at these figurines, this interpretation has nothing to do with the meanings that these figurines held for the…

Aw. A show with the line “don’t listen to the dime store Camille Paglia” can’t be all bad.

I had completely forgotten about Carrie wearing her bra in every sex scene—and also the uncanny fact that none of her partners ever mentioned it. Boy, that show has aged like milk. And I’m saying this as someone who never liked it to begin with. 

Idk if it was the retro clothing, the intensity of chess, or what but I wanted to do just about everyone in The Queen’s Gambit. 

Pringles = processed pressed particle board dry treats of unimaginable irredeemable blandness.

It took at least two episodes of ,“I know you, who tf are you ...” (and refusing to google it) before the “DUDLEY?!” clicked. 

I think longer hair lengths do a lot for him. Not era appropriate for Queen’s Gambit, but here we are:

*Character spoilers for Gambit, in case you still haven’t watched it. Why the hell haven’t you watched it yet? It’s literally seven episodes???*

If everyone who believed in the rapture disappeared today, whether to heaven, hell, or the great void, I don’t really care, the world would be a markedly better place. 

As a fat woman, it pissed me off that the accepted theory for years was that these figures represented ‘pregnant women’ when she is quite clearly what I see in the mirror after a shower. This new study is a little better, but only a little. I can only offer three points: 1) these are clearly *obese/fat* women, 2)…

Someone here needs to go to horny jail. Maybe everyone involved. 

I haven’t read the actual article, so I wonder if something is getting missed in the summary. From what this post is saying, the new theory is conflating the cause of the statues form with their meaning. Climate changed caused these representations to be deemed a feminine ideal; but the meaning of them isn’t “climate…

And I still fail to see why all of the above cannot be reasons. Sexy fertility sculptures that reflect the ideal female body type for each area, those categories aren’t mutually exclusive. Why oversimplify? 

Yes, there are people that use soaker tubs at least once a week. The big tubs are bigger -and deeper- than the standardized shallow tubs put in housing starting in the 1970's or so. Here’s my use guide: take a brief shower first, and then fill the bath. I have on demand hot water, so the bath doesn’t run out of hot,…

Yes! This is the most overpraised movie. All my girlfriends won't shut up about it, and I HATE IT.

But they show him flying into the Marseilles airport at the end. But maybe I missed a scene after that where he goes to Portugal?

I recently told Monsieur he had to watch it to understand the terribleness. He made it for 5 minutes. Then we watched Planet of the Apes.
