I think there’s a good possibility that his way of dressing is a dog whistle to the poors. Dressing too nicely, in a way that is too put together, would remind everyone that he came from privilege and isn’t the self-made man he likes to pretend to be. Also, the Average Joe doesn’t think the President of the Goddamn…

I decided to do my own makeup for my wedding after having a lady at the salon do a trial run so to speak. Lady could barely do eyeliner properly and I had an allergic reaction to the eyelash glue (not her fault), and yeah I had the same issue with yellow undertoned concealer and foundation. 

The same reason people have been trying to put bronzer on me for years. It makes you “sunny” they said! It covers red spots they said! It brightens and conceals dark under eyes they said! NO, IT MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE A CROSS BETWEEN A GERIATRIC FLORIDIAN AND A HARUJUKU GIRL.

In fairness, that’s pretty solid payback for being given an damn exercise machine by your husband.

This kind of shit just makes me think of when the smoking ban in bars went into effect. Suddenly, a lot of us smokers were forced to go outside on the patio and interact with other smokers we weren’t normally friends with or were really just bar friends. So I found myself surrounded by some right wingers from time to…

When I say be kind to one another, I don’t mean only the people that think the same way that you do (emphasis mine)

I’m going to give Chef John’s method a try. May or may not go with the seasonings. I think I’ll just try the cooking method first.

Said the man who has no qualifications for his current job.

When people use nicotine patches, or gum, we say they’ve quit smoking.  What’s the difference?  All I know is I no longer have asthma or any respiratory illnesses since I switched.  Gum, etc., didn’t work for me because I’m a twitchy nervous person who needs to keep my hands busy.  NOW, I will say this.  I do treat it…

Is gaslighting the right word for that?

The thing that I think it’s a little difficult for anyone to wrap their heads around who hasn’t dealt with abusers is that they groom their character witnesses just as thoroughly as they groom their victims. Scarlett has no doubt been subjected to just as much gaslighting as Soon-Yi, but it’s directed to a different…

All he’s doing is moving the grift to a new crowd. Don’t ever be fooled by these types. Leave them to rot. 

This is very good. And while I disagree vehemently with Dr. Wen’s non-inclusion of the trans community, I am not opposed to emphasising the health aspect of choice. The anti-choice agitators seem to believe (or convince others) that when abortion is outlawed, there will be no more abortion.

Like I said, idk the exact success rate, but it all really depends on whether or not the person/patient in question has the insight to acknowledge that they need to get help and change their behavior. This is obviously total conjecture, but from what I’ve seen of this case, it seems like Michelle in particular doesn’t…

By reason of mental disease or defect means something different legally than it does medically or socially. Basically using that defense in court means that at the time the crime was committed, your mental state was such that you could not differentiate between right and wrong. So even if you are schizoprenic, bipolar…

I find this very cute and very romantic and very beautiful but I also have borderline personality disorder

It’s incredibly misogynistic to assume she is not an equal partner in an agreement between two spouses (a “pact” if you will).

You’re right...just look at his ties. The guy is about 6'3" tall. Take off a foot for his head and obey the rule that ties should come to the belt. This means that there is 30" - 31" of tie hang from his neck to his belt. Except that Donald wears his ties about 3" too long, meaning that he must have 34" roughly Assume…

I am tired of men defining real rape as “the level which I haven’t done to a woman”. The rape definition changes and doesn’t get believed because these men feel guilty as fuck because they knew in their hearts they’ve crossed lines and boundaries. Tarantino sits at home at night and lies to himself he’s not a rapist…

Not only did she explicitly say she didn’t want it in her deposition testimony, not only was she drugged, but having sex with a 13 year old is also a crime in France, where Polanski fled, and in Poland, where he was born, (and it was for both of them in the 70s too.)
