Oh I’m old enough haha. I’m still not totally over how Muriel’s Wedding got mis-marketed (and is therefore sometimes misremembered in the pop culture conscious) as a rom com, just because the lead character is female and it has the word “wedding” in the title. It’s actually a bit of a gut punch of a film.

Rebel Wilson actually played a character like this in a movie, I think it’s called Bachelorette? One of her bridesmaids, played by Kirsten Dunst has a scene where she rages about how it’s just not fair that she’s beautiful and thin and Wilson is fat but Wilson is the one getting married. She and the other bridesmaids…

It’s called “Pretty Girls Need Jobs Too”. 😬 https://jezebel.com/pretty-girls-need-jobs-too-5980607

My BFF’s husband didn’t even remember I was with her the night they met, when recollecting the night much later he thought she was alone. Because yeah, sure, conventionally hot young women go clubbing by themselves on New Year’s Eve all the time, it makes way more sense she was there by herself rather than with her…

The “and introducing Cloris Leachman” credit at the start of “Raising Hope” made me laugh almost every episode. 

Right??? I still buy physical books (especially cook books, graphic novels and any books generally where the pictures are a big component). Buying something to read at the airport bookstore when I’m about to go on a flight has been my travel ritual forever and will probably continue being it whenever the fuck air…

It’s so frustrating isn’t it that in even some fairly mainstream feminist spheres thin privilege and beauty privilege are still touchy subjects. Thin privilege discourse can get derailed by the usual boring concerntrolling about health. And I think people don’t like talking about beauty privilege sometimes as they’re…

Did you see any of the short lived American version? Not one of the finer moments in cross-cultural remakes of international intellectual properties. D: (no offence if you’re American!)

C’mon, I think it’s a little snarky to paint it as though she’s “just learned” about fatphobia and sizeism if that’s what you meant. I’m not surprised that she spells it out in interviews when she’s asked about it, as while I’d bet the farm it’s not news to her that society rewards women for achieving thinness it…

This. Some veggies are hardy, but others are hardly worth eating after a few days in the vegetable section of the fridge even with the right settings. Bulk buying for multiple meals isn’t always practical, especially if you’re single or a household of two. 

My most epic and disproportionate meltdown was shortly after my ex fiancé dumped me and I was in the process of trying to build my life again from the ground up, both materially and emotionally. I’d just moved into my new place, as in literally two days before, so was still doing everything and getting everything…

Goddammit this could have been so good as a stand-alone 8-10 hour miniseries.

Never left us in Australia. :3

......wow. 

Wtf even were the causes of the other three casualties? It didn’t look like things got crowded enough for stampede or crushing deaths. Heart attacks from people being much more physically active than they were used to? COVID complications? It’s only a small thing in this storm of shit I know. They better fucking not…

I nearly got into it with a friend today who was doing the “It’s not our country, not our business, why do you care what they’re doing?” Uh, because if a major first world country collapses in on itself politically and economically that could have....ramifications...for the global community....?

The “TFW No GF” documentary was a fucking chore. The world didn’t need a Cool Girl (indie variety) to make a film about incel culture in which the subjects do a lot of showing off, trolling and navel gazing but zero reflection and self-examination.

A bright spot for me is how miserable he must be feeling, and how he’s going to hate how this happened for the rest of his life.

That troll is fucking weird. It’s been at it for ages - there is a legit long time commenter called Dr Emilio Lizardo and this guy impersonates them all over the sites except saying troll shit.
