You do realize that heterosexual cisgender people are about 90-95% of the population of the world, right?

Phew, I was worried we wouldn’t be able to attack Emma Watson from the left.

In many countries, historically, paler skin was associated with ruling classes and wealth because a fair complexion indicated a life not spent toiling outside in the fields. Asian ladies in my town who shield themselves from the sun with umbrellas are not trying to look like white people, they’re trying to avoid a…

I ACTUALLY READ THIS PIECE! It’s good. It taps into the process very well, and it specifically mentions the identity politicking we saw in 2008 against Obama—the same kind we’re seeing now.

At a certain point, your husband is an adult and knows exactly what the fuck is going on.

We don’t know each other and I don’t want to get in your business, but in your shoes, if my husband stayed at the event, we should have a (polite) convo about marriage as a team against that kind of bullshit.

Nope. If it had been hubby’s friend sending the vitriolic text, would you say hubby should try to keep the friendship based on some sad excuse he’s made for his friends hate? Fuck that. She should be glad to be rid of toxicity, and find real friends.

“Ooooohhhh, I’m just gonna take some time to really learn to love myself” and “oooohhh, I need to make sure I’m surrounding myself with positive energy at all times”

“Spirituality” has made some of the most monumentously selfish people evangelically selfish. Selfishness as a religious experience. I’m all for self care and self love and no one loves a good boundry like I do. But if the road to your own bliss bisects the highway to Assholeville drive right by me

I’m side-eyeing people who call themselves ‘spiritual’ - they often act like born-again Christians, who constantly feel the need to spread the faith and see the rest of the world as losers for not believing the same thing in the exact same way they do, and are mostly self-serving, like you say.

Sorry about your shitty ex-friend and your illness. Hope you’re feeling okay!

My ‘spiritual’ friend dumped me when I got chronically ill. Because it says so in The Secret, you shouldn’t consort with sick people because it will attract more sickness. Some spiritual people are sick in the head. Namaste cuntface!

Sometimes those boys really are very sweet though. A lot of those boys are my students. The fact that the teacher can’t tell a parent what is being done about it doesn’t mean nothing is being done.

your comment made me think of this picture (taken for when they were in vogue magazine last month or whenever it was):

My college roommates and I called that look “freshly sexed” and we all agreed that it was the best way to show up to any event.

You’ve been writing fanfic, haven’t you?

I dunno, I think that - though we might wish the world were different - him having a more average dick might meaningfully improve his life.

Otherwise perfectly compatible women could have been ending relationships on that basis, and I don’t think that says anything horrible about them.

Yeah, fuck him for finally being happy with a part of himself that he’s been made to feel shame about for probably his whole adult life.

This literally just made me go do sexy stuff to my boyfriend. 100% serious. It was too much for me, seeing the two of them together. Don’t much care about the babt, but do you suppose they have a special handshake or a high five or something? Godddd I wish their terms overlapped more!

Some of my English friends think it is dumb, but others think it is so dumb that it sounds authentically American. I was going to challenge them on that, but then I saw another news item on Trump’s ratings.

Because when they were founded, they were meant to be open to all regardless of religion or location but were still under the supervision of the government, as opposed to the usual schools of the time that were run by religious orders. They became independent in the 1860's when the seven (I think) were severed from…
