It’s great that you don’t think it’s brave but a whole lot of straight people do.

The cover of Cosmo is neither pornographic nor dehumanizing. They are more than welcome to not open it up to the section where they say to put a scrunchy on some dude’s dick.

Okay? That is pretty horrifying but has no relation to what I said.

Side note - the Netflix doc on finding El Chappo was an interesting watch. Specifically how it depicted Peen as a greasy, opportunistic, self-serving, manipulative con-artist weasel douche.

Do...do they know they can just not pick up the magazine? Boom! No longer exposed. I’m confident Cosmo isn’t giving detailed (and hilariously wrong) instructions for “risky”* anal sex on the cover.

There are so few queer roles and, yeah, it would be great to have queer roles played by queer folks rather than straight people praised for their “bravery” for being paid well to pretend to be what we are every day.

Giving every straight person who plays a queer person the benefit of the doubt by assuming they’re closeted is absurd.

Jesus Christ, no.

Well, they’ll film a few videos in corsets working out and then claim it’s all due to hard work. Even the most fake looking person has gotta claim it’s all natural.

I can’t begin to understand or care about this very minor dust-up, but I would like to heartily recommend Tamar Adler’s “An Everlasting Meal” for those who like eating and/or cooking food. It’s a really beautiful book.

Hi David!

I mean, hopefully you’re washing at least hands and sex toys beforehand. Genitals would be nice, too, but at least they don’t touch the railing on buses (IDEALLY).

Thank you!

I do! First thing when I enter my house, other people’s houses, or work. And I live in Canada, where shoes in the house isn’t really a thing.

I feel pretty confident that money should not be stored in the vagina.

I belong to several sewing groups on Facebook, and these come up every month or two and then things get hella heated and I just thank God I’m Canadian.

Thank you! I will check this out.

I have mild seasonal allergies but nothing terrible.

Oh yuck! Not to my knowledge (I moved recently), and this has been an issue for approximately as long as I’ve been on this earth.

I know. But they don’t all know that (they really don’t) and, at the very least, you’d think they’d think about the optics of it.
