As soon as we hit the 24 months prior mark to a presidential election, I immediately start wondering how I can go back to either A) being a child again who did not care/did not notice this insanity, or B) living in another country where I could again ignore everything other than getting my primary/regular election…

I’d start with The Magic Toyshop. It’s widely taught as an exemplary work of magical realism, and in my opinion its familiarities with these short stories would be easier to see/pick out than those that might be found in her other works.

Why in the fuck was it staffed with NPS employees in the first place? How on Earth is that legal, esp. when combined with all the emoluments clause shit concerning this hotel?

While I think there’s much to be said for bespoke corsets being less painful when correctly made, the 2015 study seems very ‘correlation does not equal causation’ to me. Who wore corsets during that period? Women who could afford them, meaning women who were not among the working poor, or who lived in hostile environme…

Maybe take some women’s studies classes? Attend some lectures about sexual harassment in the workplace? If he hasn’t actually figured out why his behaviors were wrong, it seems very unlikely that he’s going to correct them in the future.

You gotta remember they add milk to it. Like, a lot of milk. The milk cuts down on the acidity.

I gotta say, I’m a little disappointed because I was totally expecting you to end up with the hot, competent older brother after all that haha.

Bobby!!!!! Hi!!!!

Yes; I just wish it were possible for people to take women seriously in the face of harassment regardless of whether or not that woman can prove she’s a cool girl or not. 

That sounds like a particularly harrowing experience. And I hate knowing that, culturally, she’s forced to couch retelling her experience with proof that she can work with men/put up with non-sexual harassment jokes made at her expense/can put up with playing a sexist or objectifying part.

Surprised anyone actively enjoys it at all.

I flat-out do not believe that any woman actually misses the act of performing oral sex on a man. Do not believe it.

No dick is irreplaceable, Cardi!!!

I was just talking about this with my hair stylist last week—the topic sustained the majority of the visit. Apparently one of her friends got blindsided by them while on a date: the man pulled out his phone to show her pictures of his son, and after she saw those told her to keep swiping right (at which point a dick…

There’s a part of me that wants to move to Texas, and run for his seat on the platform promise that any young woman/girl who gets pervy messages or harassing comments from skeevy old men gets one (1) free attempt to kill them for every awful comment directed at them.

@ the Academy: hire Hannah Gadsby, you cowards.

From what little research/literature I’ve read on BPD (definitely not claiming any expertise), patients reportedly are significantly more likely to talk about suicidal ideation/threaten suicide than they are to actually attempt it.

Wow, that seems like a lot of news for a Monday.

Ugh the one benefit from 2017 was that we were all still in shock and the pain/reality hadn’t fully set in yet.

so meta <3
