I’m so sorry you have to deal with that. Old dudes are a special kind of exhausting cos they figure they have nothing to lose. Like, they know they’re going to be rejected by young women, so they just get off on whatever interaction they can force on you. Like the old guy who comes into my work to print photos of…

Is there anyone else who was totally baffled by stuffed toys as a child? I had this lovely teddy bear that I took to bed every night when I was little, without ever understanding why. Woke up every morning to find it on the floor and felt terrible that I was so bad at being a four year old. Still had no idea what the…

If you can cover up, maybe go with that. My best friend is in the process of getting two small tattoos removed and it’s way more painful and time consuming than tattooing. Definitely insist on a full refund. Also tbh I wouldn’t ​go back to that shop.

It creeps me out that Pence has the same facial expression in literally every picture I’ve ever seen of him. That squinty, not-smiling smile that I’m sure he thinks looks dignified and paternal is not a normal facial expression. I just keep imagining him almost-smiling like that as he slices up his victims or…

I’ve never heard anyone call another person a narcissistic maniac in such a kind and comforting voice.

Jesus are there any labour protections in the US? I work a minimum wage job that pays a bit over $20 an hour. Legally, we should have our rosters up 2 weeks ahead. Our union reps visit every few months and are free to walk around the store and hang out in the tea room to talk to staff. Management also provides union…

Uhhh I had to Google that because I kept reading comments mentioning Toby Keith performing in Saudi Arabia, which made exactly no sense. But it’s true, because of course it is. I feel like I just lost my last fingerhold on reality.

Well now that Prince Philip is retiring there is a vacancy in the “have racist jokes, will travel” field.

What the unholy fuck?

Is it bad that I’d be more interested in Ruby Rose’s opinion if she could act. At all?

“Ihad no other intention besides but to show that contrast, and the desire [to] “take” that away to see the complete beauty.”

When I was a kid, my sisters​ and I used to regularly​ ask my dad if everything was just brown in the 70s. He always looked at us like were nuts, but we’d seen the photos, man. I think we kept asking because we thought we’d eventually catch him out and he’d admit the terrible, yellowed truth.

Disingenuous is a charitable way of putting it. And that line about women being “stripped ... of their rights to engage in consensual relationships with “powerful” men”. Screw you, lady. There’s a difference between being in a relationship with a powerful man, and being in a relationship with a man who has power over…

Yikes, Kipnis, it’s almost as though sexual assault isn’t even about sex so much as it is about power.

I don’t think she’s necessarily a crappy human. It reads more to me like she felt unsafe and was trying to get away without making a scene. I think a lot of women would have done the same.

Poor Rooney. She only has one emotion, and it’s apathy.

“the lack of diversity within the ranks of Canadian literature—which is, in his words, “exhaustingly white and middle class”—could be corrected if those same white, middle-class writers would “explore the lives of people who aren’t like you.””

It’s not just you.

“He would cancel White House press briefings and instead hand out written statements”

This is such a great article. Thank you for writing it.
