You are not alone. I am a few years younger than you, but otherwise: same. (Except maybe slightly worse, because every time I’ve needed emergency medical care, I’ve insisted that no one call an ambulance or drive me to the hospital until I put makeup on. Once, when I was a teenager, I fell down a flight of stairs and…

As someone who’s eligible for a free makeover at a black-and-white themed Fancy Makeup Store sometime this year, would really like a makeover because I look like shit but am perpetually too exhausted and depressed to figure out how not to look like shit, and keeps putting it off because I feel so embarrassed and…
It is virtually certain that more charges will be added as the case develops. Among other things, depressingly, the DA may well be waiting to see if the victims in serious or critical condition survive in order to determine whether there will be additional murder rather than attempted murder charges.
Bullshit. The equivalent of associating acts carried out by members of Islamist terrorist groups with Muslims as a whole would be saying “white people as a whole are accountable for this” or “Christians as a whole are accountable for this.” “Nazis as a whole are accountable for this” is instead the equivalent of “ISIS…
No one “took that away from them” - they took it away from themselves. Because that is literally what secession means. Similarly, the American Founding Fathers are not considered British. Neither are the leaders of the Irish Separatist movement. The Estonians who started the Singing Revolution aren’t Soviets. The…
You keep making this claim that people would be just as angry if he wanted to join the chess club, but I don’t believe that’s true in the slightest. Members of the chess club do not typically have stadiums full of people cheer for them. They don’t get special privileges to cut classes or take tests at different dates…
It’s funny that you see it that way because nearly every “nerdy” girl I knew who abandoned whatever it was that made her happy did it because the guys “in the club” treated her like shit for trying to join, not because other girls ostracized her.
That’s awesome - I think I’d heard that once before and had forgotten about it. She really was phenomenal.
I saw this title and literally said, “Nooooooooooooo!” out loud. Barbara Cook was an amazing talent and one of my musical idols. It’s not just her voice, which is wonderful, but (as fellow genius and idol Stephen Sondheim accurately noted) her interpretation and performance of songs - she gets them on a visceral…
Yeah, I have deeply conflicted emotions about the two younger girls, and her in particular, because on the one hand I am profoundly sick of every Kardashian or Kardashian-adjacent celebrity and want them to go the hell away, and she’s clearly become an insufferable, narcissistic idiot like the rest of them at this…
Yup. He’s Bobby Newport if Bobby Newport were a sociopath with a chinchilla stapled to his head.
I feel like it would be extra fun if we started with terms they recognize as having to do with the female reproductive system before switching to completely unrelated anatomical terms. Given how pig-ignorant and anti-science these idiots are, I have a feeling that we could genuinely convince them that “jejunum” or…
It’s getting worse insofar as they’re significantly more open about it these days. A lot of Republicans’ response to Trump and his campaign staff getting away with bragging about, threatening, and committing violence over the course of his campaign has pretty much been “Hooray! It turns out people will still vote for…
The whole “this is the Fun Plan and we cannot deviate from the Fun Plan” mentality (which is a great way to describe it) is so weird to me. Like, I know there must be people who actually have that sort of party because articles like this exist, but every bachelorette party (and every bachelor party, for that matter)…
I’ve been trying not to think about the Republicans’ attack on health care any more than I can help, because I just panic when I do as well. I have multiple chronic conditions and my current meds come out to something in the range of $1500 per month, and that’s before getting into all the doctors’ visits and medical…
No, it really isn’t that simple. I am disabled. It is physically impossible for me to engage in most forms of exercise. I also take a very necessary medication that has both weight gain and weight retention among its side effects. In order to lose weight through dieting while taking said medication and being limited…
Really, Tristan? Really? Sigh.
Speaking as someone with a classical background...she could sing quite well for a ten-year-old. If her voice and technique have not drastically improved since then, she is rapidly approaching complete mediocrity. She may be a nice kid, I don’t know, but she’s fundamentally a novelty act whose novelty is about to wear…
That’s fabulous.
