I think you might be right. Which, to be clear, I don’t think is a big deal (seems pretty par for the course for law school) but I can’t even imagine the horrors of being a woman in DJT’s sphere and putting on a few pounds. There’s no way he didn’t have a shitty comment for her ready to go. That said, Tiffany has…

I mean, you’re assuming that the Bachelorette contestants are randomly selected and representative of the young adult male population. While I am sure it’s not super rare that a dude is not actually single while appearing on this show, I would expect that single guys would be disproportionately represented because it…

YUP, exactly.  I’m going by “best case scenario” which is a 4 week cycle exactly - if you have a longer cycle or happen to randomly ovulate late, too bad, because the clock has been ticking since the first day of your last period.

I am actively trying VERY HARD to get pregnant, for a very wanted baby. On the absolute first day I could possibly know I’m pregnant (a day or two before a missed period, even), I would be ~four weeks pregnant. If I wasn’t intimately familiar with my menstrual cycle and ovulation schedule (aka my entire teenage/adult…

Exactly.  And “pretty” is basically mutually exclusive w/ “camp.”

that’s a great opinion you have*, but are you ready to keep a parent from doing whatever business at their kid’s school because you think they’re in pajamas?

And, more to the point, white collar crimes are MUCH more likely to require proof of intent or knowledge than other sorts of crimes.  Some crimes require mens rea and some don’t, but it’s not a random thing.  Crimes rich people commit allow one to say “oops, I didn’t know” and get off; crimes poor people commit do not.

just reading the article and the still frame is making me lightly nauseous. 

The thing I like the most about this article (because the content of it filled me with an achy, ominous sense of existential dread) is that I misread the headline as “Trump-fed nominee” not “Trump Fed nominee” and the image of Trump lovingly spooning mashed bananas into Stephen Moore’s mouth is a pretty funny one.

She literally called Chinese food “icky” and implied that it is dirty (by marketing *her* version as “clean”) - this is less about authenticity or cultural appropriation and more about blatant racism. The marketing and narrative around Lucky Lee’s is pretty nakedly exploiting really shitty stereotypes around Chinese…

oh my god I found them (after WAY too much googling) (also let me sadly relate that I had to use “vintage” as a search term):

I had a pair of really tall platforms from Delia’s (baby blue, with applique flowers all over them - god those shoes were amazing) and every time I wore them, my mom told me the story of the teacher at her middle school who wore platforms and broke her ankle.

1000% accurate.

I can’t believe this is a real thing. I used to VERY CAREFULLY “french tuck” my thrifted t-shirts into my Old Navy jeans, ca. 1997. I remember being EXTREMELY concerned with getting the right amount of tuck in the front (so it didn’t poof out too much). I will have to try this with my adult fancy clothes.

do you remember the ones I’m talking about that were shaped the exact same, but the material went over the toe and up to the ankle?  like a really sleek little bootie.  I thought those were the HOTTEST shit in high school but couldn’t afford the Maddens and died of jealousy every time I saw someone wear them.  I had…

And in the same vein, these babies (and their close-toed bootie-style counterpart that I thought were the height of cool ca. 1999, but can’t seem to find a pic of):

Yeah, honestly? I don’t hate it. I’d imagine the view outside the window is beautiful, the lines of the furniture are kind of pleasant and comfortable, and it’s definitely a choice, which I appreciate. I definitely like it more than the faux-rococo styled-to-death just-so decor of most celeb homes.

Yes.

YUSSS. I hate this idea that women must always dress to seem as small as possible. Practically, it’s so restrictive and boring, and symbolically, it SUCKS. Women are allowed to take up visual (and emotional, and physical) space in the world.

This, exactly. This is actually an area I’ve done research in myself (in a past life) and there is absolutely good evidence that adolescents process risk and reward differently - they are way more biased towards the immediate and way more likely to discount future consequences, particularly in social environments when…
