Thank you for saying this. The fat shaming on here is incredibly cruel. It’s one of the discriminatory behaviors that liberals still think is harmless or even funny. Maybe one day we’ll grow up, but it clearly won’t be any time soon.

I get this CONSTANTLY. People really do ask “what are you?” out of nowhere. Strangers have literally stopped me on the street to ask.

People hate feeling dumb or inferior, and that feeling translates into hatred of anything or anyone “intellectual”. So, yes.

Very good. The President of the United States of America should definitely be informing six year old girls that he doesn’t want them to be fat.

I think the first two colors are soft summer, but some of those purples are too bright. But I see where you’re coming from.

They are NOT staying with me, thankfully, because there’s not enough room in my small apartment. So there will be escapes, which is a huge help. I will probaby be texting my sister all weekend long to vent, which will be useful too.

I don’t really journal or anything, but thank you so much for this idea... I think I actually will try it. I really appreciate the suggestion. I definitely could stand to practice some emotional detachment!

I hear you, I really do. I’ve significantly cut down the amount of time I spend with them, but there’s still that crushing guilt aspect. It’s fine, really, and it’ll be over quickly... though as you know, a hot fart can linger for awhile even after the perpetrator has left.

fully agreed!

Ok good point, I didn’t think of that.

... Sonja has a parking garage?

10 years ago was FIFTH GRADE? Fuck I am old and have accomplished nothing. Take me out back and shoot me now.

I love your comments.

There’s way too much black to be spring or summer. I’m voting for true winter.

I worked with a hot receptionist once and it was pure nonsense how many people came in the office just to hit on her. It really embarrassed her and made her feel awkward and shitty.

Yeah not to get too off topic, but I had a mom like that too. She repeatedly told me that I was fat starting from around age 6 through 18. Funny thing is that as an adult I weigh way, way more than that and I can’t even imagine being only 120 pounds now. Too bad I didn’t enjoy it when I was there.

I believe the original was “Rahm Emanuel Likes Nickelback”, which the then-mayor took time out of his day to address in what is my favorite real life news article of all time:

Columbine was terrifying and shocking. My high school - thousands of miles away - closed the next day because there was this paranoia that there would be instant copycat scenarios around the country. It was a huge, huge deal and changed the way my school approached security and safety. I felt like it was part of the…

I just clicked on this and burst out laughing. They’re being sued by a CULT LEADER. Maybe their reporting has impacted his ability to captivate young women into giving him the details of their orgasms and paying $800 for the privilege.

I don’t know, but have you noticed that almost every other article is an ad? I know they’ve been there for awhile, but lately I feel like they are starting to outnumber the actual articles (especially at night and on weekends). And there are only 67 responses to this post, which has been up for 3 hours.
