I suppose it could be different had she thought of/phrased it that way. But instead, she turned it into the oppression Olympics, which is the dumbest possible approach.

I have an acquaintance who would interrupt EVERY. SINGLE. conversation about fat shaming with the story about how some guys on the street once told her to “eat a sandwich” and that skinny shaming was even worse than fat shaming because “being skinny isn’t my fault.” O_o (she’s not invited to happy hour anymore)

Now I've got the Touched By an Angel theme song stuck in my head, but I can't be mad because DELLA REESE

Same. That book meant a lot to me from the ages of 12-14 (no, 12-27, let’s be honest).

Sports was the first example I thought of, too. My grandpa was a sports radio broadcaster and my dad was a sportswriter for most of my life, so I grew up tagging along to NFL training camps/golf tournaments and helping transcribe interview notes. Once, when I told a particularly mansplainy dude I met at a party that I…

The worst part is that when this fails (because the clothing is terrible), they'll go back to carrying super limited plus size options and say something about how "the market isn't there" (HAHA)

Yes! The green dress is at the top of my list. I'm even tempted by those blue pom pom shorts

Exactly this! That Ava and Viv shit was reprehensible.

Online-only is a bummer, but IMO every one of these plus size options is better than anything from that terrible Ava and Viv line that they had all the plus size bloggers fake-raving about:

That is not at all what I expected! But it's gorgeous

Choose an outfit that is pretty enough to show that you're a woman and covered enough to show that you are a lady.

I heard it in LA at the USC chapter — racists find each other, no matter what state they're in

I got the blue velvet and it is MAGNIFICENT. I can't wait to put on some red lipstick and be the coolest chick at the beach on my vacation this weekend

Biotin was awesome for my nails, but I stopped taking it because it was speeding up my hair growth *everywhere* and as a dark-haired person I really couldn't deal with the 5 0'clock shadow on my shins.

You and I got the exact same Birchbox! I'm not sure about that Juicy perfume (side note: does it seem like Juicy has SO MANY perfumes and Birchbox samples all of them, or is that just me?) but I am having a love affair with that Juice Beauty cleanser. I'm using the Bee Kind lotion mostly for my hands, and it's working…

Whoa, I must not ever look at his face very closely, because I never noticed! If that (very obvious) nose job were on a female politician's face, you KNOW we would never stop hearing about it.

I think it's also very telling that most of these conservatives would be the first to shout some word salad about "liberal parenting special snowflakes entitled millenials" without realizing that American exceptionalism is basically the idea that we are innately the specialist snowflake and anyone is WRONG and/or…

I also have that visible strip of inner lip and it is an ISSUE. It happens mostly when I smile, so I guess I'll just have to wear my matte black lipstick and scowl (perfect, honestly)

Oh man, that library dedication made me spit out my wine — it was a nice break from all the almost-crying I was doing

Except...
