i actually think we see more of the above—trafficking, kids who have no choice, etc & ect—especially in the mainstream media. i guess it depends on where & for what you are looking. i mean, i've been riding this everlovin rodeo entirely too long & all i can remember that wasnt negative from when i was a kid until just…

the sanest person in this tangled web is his wife. not to mention the saddest.

ps. i shouldve added the word white after the tall & the thin. i forgot about it, not cos it's unnecessary to mention but cos jezebel does a very fine job of bringing it up. otoh, that final cliché was not intended but certainly fits. i will leave it to you to analyze what i'm saying. as an aside, i signed the…

what you are missing is why are these the choices she, & we, make? why do we think this very tall, very thin woman is beautiful? who decided that? why? why do we think the 'discipline' which she has chosen to undergo—which mostly consists of not eating combined w/ an endless amount of exercise designed w/ no other…

i have a feeling that the people doing this are feeling the chick condescension & so & thereby are feeling like doing the same thing. heh redux. i am certainly feeling like doing it.

you dont know this but very soon it's gonna feel like yr gonna be fifty in five minutes. i'm older than you & it certainly feels like that to me. the older you get the more you feel like time is a box pleated thing. you live in the inbetweens but the decades close in on one another real real fast.

apologies, redux—but this just dawned on me.

i hope he's on enough medication that he at least understands a little of what they are trying to say. i have done a lot of work in the psych/sped field & he is, beyond doubt, one of the very maddest schizophrenics i have ever seen. maybe the worst.

*effecting. it's 5am & i'm tired, apologies.

is it really gonna be effective that a whole mess of adults decided to excoriate [aka: shame] a bunch of stupid adolescents online? not to mention that those adults then contacted even more adults—this time the ones directly responsible for the abovenoted teenagers lives—in an attempt to get those known adults to…

IBID.

i think third wave feminism is too lost in its admiration for victoria's secret models & playboy bunnies to understand betty dodson.

you can get em from me if you want vintage—as someone whose weight goes up & down as predictably as a clock skitters from one overturned number to another, i know what it's like to not always be able to find what i want.

thank you. it's okay, it's just hard. that photo—which is everywhere—has been driving me nuts.

the first & second wave feminists who got us where we are today are either [if dead] spinning in their graves as if each & every one were on her own bbq spit; or [if alive], avoiding this stuff as much as possible while thinking how the hell is this where we've gotten.

this guy is a jerk, absolutely. but he looks so much like my crazyspouse who just died [& whose birthday is today] that it's almost impossible for me to look at him. it's very difficult. now, crazyspouse, did, sadly, have a drug problem. i dont if this guy does. it's possible. it's more possible, though, that [like…

i hate to say this & i know people will jump on me for it. but i'd rather gaga donated a million bucks to the real people w/o whom she'd be nothing—the actual outsider avant guardians w/o whom she'd have no idea what to do for a career [other than emulate madonna, who she can rip off to her heart's content as far as i…

i'm old, i'm in LA. & i do know there are two of them. still, every time i see the name sam worthington i look for his dog spot.

how can the same company that employs lindy west be publishing, w/o even careful comment, this painful nonsense. the folks at io9 may not know it but w/in what is to the universe no longer than a nanosecond, weight degradation is gonna end. it is on the way out. not only will that be one of the few truly radical…

thanks, i agree w/ you. i think the idea that you can control who you love is just one more rotten little honor stripe on this constricted culture's jacket.
