It’s always been known that many kanye songs are basically written by committee but Spielberg films are still Spielberg films, you know.

She also cut off some hair, smeared makeup and stole shoes off the dead body

I have some pretty gnarly social anxiety and hated the procession with the passion of a thousand burning suns, so I know how awful those moments can be when you’re in the middle of them! But trust me, hardly anyone noticed then and I guarantee that no one remembers now. :)

Definitely. But it’s also very quintessentially human. We are inherently self-centered and self-conscious, so it’s hard to remember that it’s not always about ourselves.

WRT body insecurity, specifically, the only time it’s really an issue is when you make it an issue. If you refuse to be photographed, refuse to do…

I do wonder if he was referring to her as “ugly” because she was mean and a bridezilla and not necessarily talking about her physical appearance.

They probably thought nothing of it, unless you fell down or farted or something. And then, it’s only because somebody tripped or ripped a stinker. Not because it was two bridesmaids or either/both happened to be “fat”.

In general, people overthink stuff like this. Not everybody is paying attention to you all the time.

i wonder if you’d tinder match with the hamburglar? love the screen name.

oh just own it. you’re sobbing like a little tiny baby right now. *sniff*

That’s cool of you to ask. I’m not a pilot but I have no fear of flying so I’m probably not much help.

Yeah I actually couldn’t read the rest of these, because I had to scroll down here and yell about that claim. Lyra and Will’s coming of age is in many ways the key to the entire story, and yes, it involves sex, but it’s in no way exploitative and nor does it in any way diminish either character’s agency. In fact,…

I thought their romance was fairly sweet, all told, even if was super bittersweet at the end, almost arbitrarily so.

I question that, too, because Lyra wasn’t sexualized. AT ALL. She was a girl growing up and was reaching young adulthood where Will became more than a friend — they never did anything sexual — nor did Lyra lose her agency.

“It’s the only thing that damages my enjoyment of the book as a whole. I’ve also heard from fellow readers that Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials holds a similar sexualization of a young girl, and it stopped me from reading past The Golden Compass, because I can’t stand the thought of Lyra being treated that way.”

I like that this serves as a reminder to us that, by the end of the series, they’d basically turned Joey from charmingly dopey to something else that I’ve struggled for a couple minute to phrase in a way so as not to offend anyone.

Just realized I am the only one in the comments who laughed hysterically at this article and actually agrees with you, no matter how satirical this may have been meant to be. Hmmm.

I want these. I fucking love Yoko Ono. She does a weekly Q&A with fans on Fridays, and I sent a question in once, and she answered it. I love her art.

Not knocking Tina, but man, I’m glad my mom doesn’t require my siblings and me to reassure her of her hotness.

you’re right, the takeaway should definitely be to leave an internet comment dismissing the imperfect and incidental value of capital transfer to the people in need of capital without proposing anything in its place. there’s value in being realistic and there’s no reason that tipping more (if you do this shit, which i…
