Eating disorders are not a new phenomenon. You don't have to be this way.

This is a terrible and ridiculous story for a lot of reasons, but I find it almost endearing that this grown ass man thinks these made up words for children are “real spells”. Like it’s so dumb that part of me is just going, “oh, honey”.

I agree with you but I can’t get mad about this one thing. Kim Kardashian is straight up trash, but in this instance at least she was trash while employing this woman, and giving her a chance to feel beautiful, visible and glamorous. 

This is a nothing song. I hope her contract with Furry Idol doesn’t mean this is going to be all over the station I have to listen to at work. 

I take your point, but op is right about this. My father is in a high care dementia facility. Improperly medicated dementia makes him an asshole to pretty much everyone, but he’s noticeably nastier to non-white carers (of whom there are many, all with the patience of fucking saints). I think something about the…

I realise this story is about a specific community, but what generally is the anti-vaxxer response to the fact that their choices have resulted in so many children getting sick? I don’t know any anti-vaxxers (that I’m aware of) and I don’t pursue their company.

Yankee Mandles, surely.

I thought the same. If you’ve lived as man and wife, after a period it doesn’t really matter if you’re legally married or not -the law still sees you as de facto spouses and awards property/alimony accordingly. But I’m not in the US either, so maybe they do it differently.

That article was addressed on Jezebel by an actual trans person, who did not consider it fair.

I mean, isn’t everyone off-putting to their critics? Isn’t that why they’re your critics?

I had an ex who took up running after having done nothing for years and promptly gave himself shin splints. Which are painful, yes, but somehow became a symbol of how ageing is cruel and he’s going to die one day. Like mate, my fourteen year old sister had shin splints. Calm the fuck down.

The guy who speculated about the size of his infant daughter’s future breasts? The guy who posed on a bed with his pubescent daughter and later said if she wasn’t his daughter they’d be dating? The dude who in public, while running for president, said that the thing he had most in common with his adult daughter was…

I have some amazing older women friends and relatives. Generous, intelligent, wise and hilarious. I’ve also worked in retail for way too long, and older women have hands down always been the rudest, most demanding and condescending group to deal with. It was far, far worse when I was in my teens and early twenties.…

I would watch the shit out of it, though.

Yeah, I like the idea in theory, but I'm just not built for that. I need my own space and plenty of alone time. I would die of anxiety.

My brother has already cancelled Netflix and Stan (Australian Hulu equivalent) and is back to pirate sites. They work just as well and have everything in one place, which was supposed to be the draw for Netflix. I happily paid for one service, even two, but this is ridiculous. A lot of what is on Netflix now is already…

Have also heard them called soul patches and honey catchers. All still very bad.

Thank you! Tissues are single use! They don’t go in sleeves or pockets, they go in the trash. Don’t carry your expelled bodily fluids around with you. You won’t need them again.

When I was in my early twenties I dated a couple of guys who were twice my age (not at the same time). I was young and foolish and thought that they would be more mature/intelligent than younger guys. They were not, which might have been part of the reason they were both so keen on dating a 22 year old. I realised I…

I’ve found that dudes who don’t smile in pictures generally have very weird hangups around masculinity. Like, smiling is weak or just for girls or something. I straight up do not trust men who won't smile for photos.
