I wish I had noticed this, but someone else out in Facebook land pointed this out: With Sadie now a rock singer and Lars a pink space rebel, the two of them have become a gender swapped recapitulation of Rose and Greg. Nice one, Crewniverse.

Ugh. Low rise jeans. I didn’t wear them then, and I won’t wear them now. However, just like then, I will get laugh at anyone who spends all of her time pulling them up.

I’d be super comfortable being a size six, but these thunder thighs are all about progressive attitudes and other body types. It’s definitely political and not genetics combined with a penchant for cookies.

Suggestions to the Democratic Senators and Congress people who surf Kinja. Because there’s so many of you

When you campaign for the upcoming elections, stop calling them “entitlements” and instead call them “earned benefits”. “Entitlement” is a tainted word, Republicans say it with a sneer, when they say it they think…

I’m in the 18-49 demo and I cannot stand Jimmy. The Roots are the only part of his show worth watching, but even they can’t save him anymore.

But what about Dela getting hit in the dead by a disco ball?

So like ... can I have maternity leave? Affordable prenatal care? Any treatment for my battered lady-bits after birth? Help with childcare? (My parents live very, very far away and I really like what I do for a living.) Will my daughters be able to get jobs where they won’t be harassed by their employers, or is their…

I’ve never seen a more abusive art form than ballet and I grew up a classical pianist, itself pretty rife with abuse. But it was nothing compared to my best friend’s daily experiences—she was a ballet dancer.

I’ll buy everyone drinks tomorrow if he loses. EVERYONE.

Here’s my very confused cat after her first Christmas gift.

Don’t shame women for survival work. Your comment only helps perpetuate the devaluing of sex workers. Women will rely on survival work as long as we suffer sexism, racism, colorism, transphobia. Fix that instead of calling sex workers “gross.” Come the fuck on.

I honestly never got the appeal of The Office. I never found cringe comedy entertaining. In fact, the Office being more popular than Parks and Rec leaves me looking like this:

Mandatory fun is one of the pains of childhood. I refuse to participate as an adult. (small) part of the reason I freelance. When I was a full-time, salaried employee I would have preferred the money from the party go to something more useful, like a small boost to everyone’s bonus or small hourly wage for the unpaid…

Does anyone ever really want to go to the office Xmas party anyway?

I am sick to fucking death of movies that pretend they’re about women but are actually about men. Wind River pushed me over a cliff and it’s all I can see now.
