The worst is when they would start to die and just chose the most gawd awful places and times to give up the ghost. You’d be out rowing on the river in the early morning thinking ‘oh what a lovely day!’ And then all these mayflies would take that opportunity to die and fall out of the sky—sticking to your sweaty body,

I also grew up calling them fishflies. And UGH. The SMELL. I remember several years when they coated every single surface and were just nasty. Yuck. But yes. Yay for good water quality.

As disgusting as the mayflies (or fishflies, as they are called where I grew up) are, they are indicators of the health of local water bodies. I try to keep that in mind as I am doing the freakout dance as I frantically brush them off in an attempt to reach the inside of my car without a hitchhiker in my hair.

Oh, man. I HATE when people say shit like, “Oh, you dressed up today, you look nice.” Like, they have to draw a contrast between different ways I dress or how much makeup I wear (or how your hair looks). The implication is that you what? Look like shit the rest of the time? HATE IT. Just leave it at “You look really

The struggle with non-uniform curl pattern is real. I am a Scandinavian girl, and my hair is curly in back, wavy in the middle and straight in the front/crown. It means either straightening the back, curling the front, or accepting a cave person hairstyle. 😞

My hair isn’t all tight and pretty either and it took trial and error with many many many many many products to find what worked for me and gave me the most definition for my curls.

Different Mara.

Morgan, he says, was walking within a month. By the sixth month, she had come to “exceed our wildest expectation

who are these women who can go a whole week and save their blowout? do they not workout? if they workout, do they not sweat? do they not sleep wrong and wake up with the cowlick? how do they go outside in the summer and not turn into a damp rag?

Taylor really doesn’t need publicity from Kanye. Kanye needs publicity from Taylor. That, obviously, is why he keeps bringing her up.

His shit isn’t played on the radio anymore because it doesn’t have any rhythm or a tune or anything. Only his old stuff is played, i.e. Gold Digger. Golddigger. Whatever.

That’s true. Gay men do appreciate beautiful women.

I’d liken it more to revenge porn than to sexual assault but yeah. A woman does something a man doesn’t like, then he circulates video depicting her in bed next to him with her breasts exposed. There’s nothing original, interesting, or transgressive about that.

Yeah, this is sexual assault by video. Especially given how revolted everyone is when this is done to a passed out 15 year old girl at a party who was raped off camera, but here Kanye wants to pass it off as “art”.

There is no way Anna Wintour gave permission for this. Absolutely no way.

You are correct, have you ever seen Kim being alive?

Kanye will never condemn a serial rapist. He didn't with Cosby and he refused to talk about Ian Connor. Kanye has serious serious issues with women. Having Rhianna next to Chris Brown is more proof of that.

It’s shitty and exploitative to make and display photorealistic topless images of women without their consent and even worse to go around telling people that they may be images of the actual woman.

I used to love Kanye’s music. He doesn’t deserve the hype anymore. I sincerely hope somebody sues his ass for using their likeness in his video without permission. He is really, truly beginning to sink into the “desperate has-been whose glory days are over so he will now say/do anything for your attention” territory.

Right? I hate that I’m even typing this but, where’s Trump’s little pistol poking out from a luxurious golden merkin? Nearly every woman’s body gets hijacked* here, even if it’s not the real thing, but every dude’s swimsuit area is protected. FOH Kanye.
