I'm rather confused, because I think he is an alcoholic and I have below-zero levels of judgment about that. Whatever ya need to do to survive! And he's a fairly high functioning/low trouble alcoholic. I think I did potentially make it hard to own up to it, but asking him in front of my two friends at like 5pm, when…

I anticipate my own crazy mind-lapses! I've looked in the recycling and even underneath the bathroom sink (where I found my glasses one time after two weeks..)

Development! I asked him, super casually and nicely and he says (believably) he did not take it. So confused! Where did it go? I looked everywhere. I saw it at 10am and not at noon. I feel crazy, and all the more crazy because one of the only possibilities includes someone taking it and lying about it. Which like, is…

IN-PROGRESS BAD ROOM MATE STORY AND ALSO ADVICE SOLITICATION:

I remember (in the mid-2000s, when Louis Vuitton was actually considered fashionable) that those bags cost under $1000. They inflate their prices to "rarify" their tired gimmick.

And admittedly he'd look foxier with the shaved head (as would near-all balding fellows) but I think it's an odd sign of our sex-appeal obsessed culture that we expect grasping at foxiness from every public figure. Here, arguably, is one who has absolutely no reason to care. He probably doesn't relish it and it's…

He doesn't really need to do anything. Expect he's had his fill of being a drooled-over heart throb, and he's a multimillionaire married to a famously beautiful woman. He's probably cool with his hairline.

Not at all. What has changed about his record? I do (still) think he's unsavory as hell, and the board decided it was in the interest of the brand to ditch him. Do you honestly think they would have chosen to do so if it weren't a wise choice for the brand?

Because the UK royal family are the ultimate celebrities. It's really not very difficult to understand when you look at the American trash that are raised up to the same level of public consumption.

Glaring sensationalist misquote! I'm not even sure what the hell he's getting at for half of this, but saying "Don't open it up by saying my daughter is becoming my son" is not at all the same thing as saying "don't call her my son." Saying your daughter is becoming your son would be something that many trans people…

UM RIGHT YES HELLO EVERYONE MISQUOTE. I'm actually not even sure what the hell he's trying to say, but his actual quote there is not at all decidedly unsupportive. "Don't open it up by saying my daughter is becoming my son" is something that could be read as supportive of the legitimacy of transition being a…

Even if it *were* just money coming straight from the taxpayers, it's still a comparatively low low low cost for the whole head of state show. That is her function, which is more often now dually performed by heads of government (like the US President.) Every nation pays out for this same show, and in monarchist…

Not to mention the fact that she is largely more popular than Charles himself (who I personally think is an amusing and well-intentioned guy, but I get it) so even if it weren't something of religious importance to her, she would never make that decision. It would be a net loss for the monarchy and for her own…

God damn! I didn't even know that about Kit Harington. His family links are pretty intense, even moreso than Rose Leslie. It really is a very widespread trait shared by English actors. Are there so few sexy and talented members of the working class?

My friend got tickets to this show as a gift and said it was the saddest thing he'd ever seen. Like a dancing bear. He said she looked like she hated every second.

He didn't just mean sex, he asked what it was like to love someone who loves you back. I was really touched by that because I remember that helpless feeling.

Terms and how to approach using them is something that is learned, certainly. I do find that most people I know have a "tread softly' approach to clearly sensitive topics about which they are ignorant, so I perhaps find it extra grating when people feign ignorance over the fact that something is a sensitive topic…

Articles like this (and a hundred others everywhere every day) can serve as your cue that it is important to take care when discussing the identity of other human beings.

It's about as relatively new as the internet. We all got used to using the internet, right? If you get a job writing a blog and you don't know how to use the internet, that's kinda on you. If you write about trans issues on your blog without caring to use the internet to LEARN about trans issues, that's on you.

Not that the point doesn't stand, but the country being full of smart, educated and capable people who don't make it to political office doesn't really support your argument. No doubt she got entree to high level politics by being first lady, but she's been kicking ass for nearly two decades since, and her own…
