This is literally #NotAllMen on a t-shirt and for white women. If I see my friends doing this stupid thing I will come get them I promise.

Greg is terrible but I ship it anyway. At least he’s like, the tiniest bit self-aware about his problems. Josh is a helpless child, and Rebecca needs to go back to therapy (NOT just with the dream ghost) and get her head sorted out for real.

Ok but I do love the idea that they require full-time performance of masculinity, eight and a half months of the year. And then everyone takes the summer to learn to needlepoint or something.

...criticizing a woman who wrote a negative review of The Newsroom by calling her “Internet Girl”...

Ok now that you’re on her blog, I’ve stalked the hell out of your engagement photos and they’re BEAUTIFUL. the third one here http://www.jamiemercurio.com/journal/2015/1… (the one inside where you’re kissing and it’s taken from far away) will make your grandchildren weep, okay. WEEP. It looks like it should be a…

This is GLORIOUS. I wish I had known you when I was young and fragile so you could have taught me your wonderful ways.

yeahhhhhhh. to be fair, she kind of holds herself to the same wacky standards, which is probably where I developed some of my body image issues in the first place. So she probably didn’t realize how wrong that was to say that to your daughter. Or so I justify it. most of the time she’s a lovely lady.

just realized when I typed this that I forgot a word. Insert “have” someplace sensible

“Well, it’s probably good to a little bit of anorexia, anyway.”

See that’s another thing I’ve never understood. Unless there’s literally urine on the seat (which is the whole problem we’re discussing here, and is TERRIBLE and should be stopped), I never bother to hover or anything like that at public toilets. I’m not totally sure what everyone’s so afraid of. We all know you can’t…

I don’t know enough about having a penis but would sitting help? Maybe we need to be revoking some licenses or something

True! That’s exactly what I mean — if they made the choice to spend more promoting women’s soccer, I suspect the revenue would come (and the salaries could go up, hopefully, although who knows with this whole *~capitalism~* thing).

But have you never experienced the awful awful feeling of simultaneously BELIEVING something and KNOWING that you are wrong about it? If you think trying to reason with an irrational person is bad, try reasoning with your own goddamn irrational SELF.

That argument actually gets pretty circular pretty fast. The revenue the mens teams make come from promotion, and the women’s teams don’t get promoted as much because someone somewhere thinks nobody’s really that interested. Let there be merch!

I’m 23 (and, thank heavens, not from one of those areas where getting married at 23 is the norm), so none of my actual ex-boyfriends are engaged. But when I found out the cute california boy I was *~going out with~* for two weeks at summer camp in 2008 was getting married, I had a serious moment of panic.

Not related to your outfits but related to your style: I LOVE YOUR HAIR

The girl scouts are SO MUCH COOLER than the boy scouts.

My boyfriend really really really hates it when I say something is a huge coincidence when he thinks it's just the sort of thing that happens sometimes. chaos ensues.

YES. And New Romantics could have played a similar "hey look, we're not in nashville anymore" role. Like, I get why she would want to make welcome to new york #1, because it's an introduction to the album and it's "welcoming" people to the new city / state of mind that brought this music about, but NEW ROMANTICS DOES…

yes. this.
