I think there’s a strong, strong chance that neither of them have an “endgame” or anything like it, and that pretty much nothing is going to make them go away — they’re in it for the attention and the shit-stirring, because some people are just fucking awful and thrive on strife and chaos. Keeping others off-kilter…

Yeah, and sadly that one was 100% in my personal lexicon for a lonnnnng time (I’m an Old -- the 1980s was junior high and high school for me). It’s amazing how jarring and WRONG it is to hear it now! Or like, any time in the last 10-15 years? 

I feel bad for her too. Fucking NOBODY deserved a father like Markle’s. Everything I’ve seen from/about him says “manipulative gaslighting shitbag.” I mean, can you FUCKING IMAGINE having one of your presumably-beloved children get married to a public figure ... and then you start staging photo ops and giving…

Phrasing that title as “The Kulture” is making my brain do some kind of horrifying mashup with Iain Banks and now I’m fighting a powerful urge to do little framed pastel illustrations of the ships. Like, “Just Another Victim of the Ambient Morality” and “Prosthetic Conscience” and “Very Little Gravitas Indeed”…

EXACTLY. Y’all do this shit just to mess with us. That, and having detective shows that’re WAY better than our detective shows.

Omg his mom is an actual Becky.

Kathleen is GOALS, FOREVER. <3 I recently started following her on Twitter and now I love her even more.

Aw, that sucks about the Melissa ones! I’m sure the material (materials?) they use is firmer/denser than the foamy Crocs stuff, which would mean yeah, if an edge or strap hits your foot in the wrong spot, ow. I haven’t tried any of either brand, but I always am tempted by some of the heeled Melissa ones, because MAN…

Oh for YEARS I thought the same -- “odd that they’re always referring to female bosses/authority figures as ‘mom’ but not guy ones as ‘dad’ or ‘pa,’ wtf.” Annnnnd then it clicked. 

Oooooo, puttin’ that on my list to check out! Oh wait there’s a link, no I have to look *now*.

Someone on a British tv show mocked that very phenomenon as being another example of the common folk trying to sound more posh? “It’s MA’AM, not MOM.” Which makes sense, as it’s a slightly shortened version of Madam which is definitely not pronounced Modom. (Idk what show it was — QI? WILTY? DW? Mock the Week? Strong…

You’re so correct and I’m giving YOU a star as well — keep it for your own or pass it up to Charles’ Wizened  Cock Stand-ins over there. 

RIGHT?? They’re like Barbie shoes! And they were like, fifteen bucks a pair or something when I got them! WTF. I’m telling you man, Yoox is the shit.

They’re Nova Rosa brand and sadly I can’t find them anywhere now. :( You might get lucky on Poshmark or eBay or something tho! They’re cheap as hell but SO CUTE and basically waterproof so that’s double the “I don’t care if I get caught in the rain in them.”

And then everybody fawns all over whichever one of them did some book and “oo it’s so positive and affirming and good life advice” and the shit I saw was a bunch of fucking vague ‘n’ vapid platitudes that even goddamn Dr Phil would reject as worthless wankery.

Oh I think those are kinda cool looking! As far as “equivalent comfort / wearability to the regular leather and cork variety” ... idk, it’d probably depend on exactly the type and density/softness or flexibility of the plastic they’re using? I once bought two different pairs of slides that listed the same plastic mater…

Dude I saw some lower-heeled versions of those on Yoox a year or two ago — well, really they were like a cross between Candies and Dr Scholls — with colorful top straps ANNNNNNND the entire wood base is color-matched glossy enamel? Bought three pairs : turquoise, orange, and yellow. I was OBSESSED with the OG Candies…

Those second ones are cute as HELL! Which means I 100% would not be willing to wear them out in shitty weather. Which, in the gulf south, is basically “the entire summer” because it rains/storms damn near daily here. (I’m by no means a Crocs apologist, but there’s a strong case to be made for cute rubber shoes.)

I would not buy these simply because they’re Crocs brand and fuck those horror shows.

No, WORSE -- at the mo, that “LA” stands for Lower Alabama instead of Los Angeles and I have to stop typing now because I’ve melted. :( Okay I haven’t actually, but every single day it’s a high close to 90 and humidity around 80% ... except at night, when it’s about 80 degrees and 98% humidity. Unless it’s…
