For me, instead of growing up to be gay, they grew up into bros (I guess they always were, but it wasn’t called that, and it wasn’t a bad thing then). And I grew up to be rather turned off by bros. So.

I actually like the name Kai. It’s all the Hayleighs and McKayleighs that I scoff at.

“Kai” (and Kaj and Ky btw) is going to sound like “John” to kids today.

On the other hand I am happy to live in a world where people are talking about the issues it seems to raise, so it balances out.

Have you seen The Blackened Mantle? Best prequel edit in existence IMO

I get weirded out when I think back on how my tween peers talked about Britney. It was always that she was “lame” and “for kids” (as if we weren’t kids). From what I recall, they were more into mainstream early 00s rap music that was mostly completely degrading to women. It had to be “ghetto”(their word choice) or it…

Am I the only one whose family drank almost exclusively from these while I was growing up? I guess we’re the ultimate hipsters if we did it before it was cool.

Yes, and the thing is that the world has many people who are equally if not more privileged than famous performers (I mean, the ones who didn’t already come from billionaire families themselves) who don’t have to deal with the shitty sides of personal fame at all. Maybe people know the name of the corporation to which…

I am a couple years older and have just recently moved back out of my parents’ after having moved back home when I was 25. When I moved back in it was partly health related so on the one hand I feel incredibly grateful that I am capable of living independently again. Moving back out was an important step for building…

The other problem is that white savior movies often do quite well. See: The Blind Side, Avatar, etc. Usually when something does this badly it’s because of poor execution/ promotion, not the basic subject matter.

Brad Pitt is looking more and more like Billy Ray Cyrus.

I remember when I lived in DC and told people I felt like I was “skipping” winter by being there for the winter months.

I identified with her in terms of some aspects of her personality, but I didn’t identify with the way she was received by the world. I was also quiet, enjoyed reading, was pretty but in an innocent-looking way etc. I was NOT treated how she was. Adults didn’t fawn all over me. Boys didn’t chase me when there were…

It reminds me of when people in the fashion industry talk about problems with the modelling profession, such as eating disorders and the exploitive use of underage models. It’s always like “oh yes, it’s terrible that this happens” but it’s this circular thing where everyone is saying it’s wrong but no one is pointing…

This is why I have a problem with how much our society/ education system rewards the ones who won’t shut up. When I was 20 I was rarely the one who spoke up and said something stupid, but that’s because I didn’t speak up much at all. But while not-speaking, I was listening. And analyzing. And figuring things out. A…

There’s almost no one I can be snarky with. My sisters, yeah. A few others who I basically count as family, yeah. But even with those people, actual family included, I’m sometimes/ often afraid of hurting them. I am a people pleaser for sure.

Reading this I was like, “I never realized we were supposed to dislike MO’s bangs?”

I haven’t yet, but I would. Sometimes you’re in a situation where the toilet is broken in some disgusting bathroom and there’s nowhere else to go, but you just have to go, you know?

Does what she said here qualify as “batshit” though? It seems like a pretty standard way of thinking for a lot of people, not just French people. Annoying yes, but hardly unusual or crazy.

Ok but like, my normal decaf green tea from normal tea bags is ok yes?
