“it seemed fishy to me”

No worries! It’s an easy and common thing to forget - I just like to point it out when it comes up, since it’s important. (And I don’t personally get especially hurt by just “healthy = attractive,” although I have known other disabled people who do. My personal “this makes me sad” pet peeve is when people talk about…

Hey, I know this comment is absolutely coming from a good place and I’m glad of that, but while “healthy bodies are beautiful” is definitely more inclusive than “thin bodies are beautiful,” it’s still kind of a slap in the face to anyone who’s not healthy, especially disabled people, who are already regularly treated…

I know, right? I love the look of most saris and hate that I am way too white to wear one without looking like I’m playing Cultural Appropriation Dress-Up.

Yeah, I think this may be the first time I’ve actually really liked a red carpet look from Allison Williams - and I mostly hate sequins, so I’m kind of impressed that she’s making that dress work for me.

Yeah, I thought it was a pretty song for about the first three weeks. It took another several months of hearing it all the damn time for that to morph into “oh god, not this fucking shit again.” If radio stations had collectively stopped playing it after three weeks or at least switched to playing it once a day…

Yeah, this sort of thing is why it’s generally unwise to congratulate someone on their weight loss unless you know them well enough to be certain that they lost weight on purpose and in a healthy way. A friend of mine got congratulated WAY too often on her weight loss and told how much better and healthier and sexier…

Yuuuup. I have lovely poly friends who have great, respectful relationships with multiple people. Precisely zero of those great, respectful relationships have started with “My wife had a serious health issue after giving birth to our child, so I cheated on her with another woman whom I falsely led to believe I was…

I have been so consistently broke for so much of my life that I actually can’t think of a time I saw a movie solely for a hot dude in it, because I have barely ever had the money to see more than one or two movies in a year, but I remember wanting to see both Swordfish and Kate & Leopold solely for X-Men-era Hugh…

(But seriously, I thoroughly enjoy both Chris Hemsworth’s shirtlessness and Tom Hiddleston’s grins. They could pretty much make a Thor movie that consisted entirely of Thor walking around wearing very little clothing for two hours while Loki smirked at him, and it would be the best movie ever.)

Ditto. I first started crying in the morning when I saw the footage of women (and their daughters) lining up around the block to stick their “I Voted” stickers on Susan B. Anthony’s tombstone. I got choked up again when I filled in the little bubble next to Clinton’s name in the voting booth, even knowing that I lived…

Very few people are allergic to piss or shit, though, which is more than can be said for cigarettes. Given the choice between smelling something unpleasant for a few minutes and coughing/sneezing/choking on my own phlegm for the rest of the day, I’m gonna have to opt for the piss and shit. Don’t smoke in enclosed…

Ditto.

I know, right? It’s great. I mean, I could have wished for something stupid like “world peace” or “millions of dollars” or “true love,” but instead I was like, “Yo, genie, could I have fibromyalgia and some other mystery illness my doctors can’t figure out that’s completely fucking my body while they keep running more…

It really is incredibly stupid. As someone who has never touched an illegal drug in my life, I’d be interested in trying marijuana because (a) it seems to be pretty safe, (b) anecdotal evidence strongly suggests it can be very helpful in treating the symptoms of two different illnesses that I have, neither of which…

Yeah, Anna’s outfits are awful, but I would wear the shit out of her daughter’s giant purple ballgown. (I mean, in the alternate reality where I have anywhere in my life that it would make sense to wear a giant purple ballgown - fuck it, though, if someone gave me that ballgown I would just wander around the house…

I would like this fucker to tell me to my face what sort of “bad life” I must have lived in order to have multiple incurable autoimmune disorders. I want to hear what my friend did “the wrong way” that caused a very, very drunk driver to run a red light and t-bone her car, leaving her with severe injuries that…

Um, no they didn’t, unless you’re claiming that women of color somehow do not count as women.

I’m not an architect, just a early music specialist, so take this with a grain of salt, but in most cathedrals of that era (or copycats of that era) that I’ve visited or performed in, my understanding is that the divide was not designed to be between peasants and aristocrats but between parishioners and the choir and…

I have a feeling Trump and his lackeys are actually stupid enough to want to pass a constitutional amendment that says that Trump and Trump supporters can sue members of the media who say anything they don’t like, while all liberals and all members of the non-Breitbart-and-Fox-News media are just sensitive little…
