I’m watching Rand Paul spew lie after lie on Fox right now. When the fuck will Democrats get a hold of the narrative ? Why is no one talking about the 2014 poison pill that Marcu Rubio put in the budget which ended payments for risk corridors for instance ? Maybe because they voted for it ? Either way, they aren’t…

Those are incredible!

Also it would be nice if movies stopped portraying eating disorders as a White Girl Problem alone

THANK YOU. I still have bald spots and I’m probably infertile from my teenage anorexia. It’s not fucking cute. You age prematurely, your skin falls apart, your hair goes to shit...and sometimes it’s never the same again even if you recover.

I also always wonder who these anorexia movies are for, as they often push the “beautiful tortured thing girl” stereotype and let me tell you, anorexia sufferers feed off this. These kinds of movies are never cautionary tales, they’re actually very triggering and encouraging.

I wish I could remember the name of some TV movie in the 80s or 90s about anorexia that the actress actually did get the lanugo body hair, and her skin did not look good, and her hair was thin and dull with no body and they made no effort to pretty it up. They also did a good job of showing what she saw when she…

Agreed. This is not an apples to oranges comparison at all and using Islam as a straw man is a shitty tactic.

I think we need to put what Atwood says in the context of her own personal history with feminism. Atwood, given her age, and the time when she active in academia, is most familiar with second-wave radical feminism. I think this is important for a number of reasons, but mostly because this really was a time in which…

This was good. It also isn’t gray!

This is a great post, but I still cringe when I see that 60% figure. The question was, “Is it the responsibility of the federal government to make sure that all Americans have health care coverage?” That is not the same thing as “Do you support single-payer healthcare?” (I’m not suggesting that you’re drawing that…

The term originated in X-Files fandom, and in that fandom specifically referred to Mulder/Scully.

I shared this article on Facebook today and mentioned that NK has boasted of a missile able to hit the PNW. I considered adding that I’d had a good life, but left that off at the last minute.

Yes, well, when you have a father who makes it clear that he judges women based on whether or not he thinks they’re fuckable and considers them worthless if they aren’t, of course she’s going to act as if the world is her stage.

I don’t think that’s minuscule at all. It absolutely shows Ivanka’s true character that her first thought always, always herself and her image. To comstrast her with Michelle Obama, there were sometimes “unflattering” photos where her shirt billowed or her skirt bunched around her leg or she had weird shadows across…

Didn’t need to watch, recognized immediately from the still. Love that show SO. MUCH.

Those are good links, but the site I recall used the fuck word much more.

Found it:

So I used to use a Ouija board a LOT. It was mostly benign, sometimes startling but rarely scary.
