And the class connotations of wearing the right kind of make up in the right way. It’s a minefield.

I can’t believe she used the old appearance as a mark of courtesy argument. I’m from India, where being dark-skinned is still considered problematic. Makeup is being widely used to gain the appearance of paler skin and thereby making life far more difficult for those who either choose not to use makeup or who can’t…

Good for your workplace. That is not the norm and presenting it like it is is disingenuous at best and outright harmful at worst.

you have to know that’s not the norm for millions of women right? like good for you? but that doesn’t change a word I said.

People like to pretend beauty privilege isn’t a thing, but it empirically is. Better looking people, including people who use make-up to look good, are generally treated better, get higher raises, and hired more often than those who don’t. The fashion industry, looking the make-up sub-industry is largely apart of that.

Lets stop pretending that women who wear makeup get any kind of real shit thrown on them. women who don’t wear makeup are denied jobs, promotions, and sometimes institutionalized (depressed women are sometimes not released from hospitals until they do their makeup because to not wear makeup is viewed as a symptom)…

But I think in the larger sense I wanted to be part of the message that women who like makeup also have important and serious things that they’re doing in their lives.

Could we maybe also drop the idea that if you don’t wear make up you don’t care about how you look or that you don’t care about yourself in general? Can’t we just make the choices we want and not worry about the different choices someone else makes? I know I know crazy. But I don’t wear makeup. I just never have.…

I wear makeup because people are nicer to me when I do. It also de-queers me a bit for the customers. I’m not going to pretend it’s not sick and twisted...if you get a kick out of makeup, cool, but I don’t really love that I’ve been coerced into caring at all. Same goes for shaving.

Why was your cat outside? That’s on you. Cats should not be outdoors. Their presence and stalking habits stress out other animals, so wildlife end up foraging less. They also outright kill other animals, and they’re one of the primary drivers of extinctions all over the world.

So much ignorance in the comment section. Coyotes are an important part of the ecosystem. If you know they are in your area, keep your animals indoors or on a leash. Learn to coexist with nature if you want to save it, people..

They encroached on some other less animal.

THIS!! THANK YOU!! Not to mention the origination and use of dreadlocks throughout history - Minoans, Greeks, Incas, the list goes on - they have never been associated with just one culture or race.

Pastel dreads is like playing with candy-colored doll wigs. It’s a fashion show— they’re supposed to look costumey + uniform, like dolls.

Yeah, his comments about WOC straightening their hair is stupid, and Marc Jacobs is a dickface for a host of other reasons too.

Which is to say white people are afforded the range of motion to adopt black hairstyles such as dreads and rows

a) Criticizing someone for appropriating Harajuku is silly, because Harajuku itself borrows from non-Japanese cultures.

Wouldn’t he be more of a “spoiler” for Trump? I think his supporters are people who worship at the altar of the free market and conservatives who like weed

Yeah...... I feel like this is really not ok. Maybe planting a yard sign or something, but *armed* protestors? Adding guns to any emotionally charged gathering is a recipe for disaster. I just hope that he slinks off with his tail between his legs and no one gets shot.

I think people from central America are the bulk of the people in detention centers like these. It costs thousands of dollars to file immigration application with a waiting list of years or even decades. If your family is in danger today, you can’t wait around for the chance you might get accepted several years from…
