Ok, I came in here ready to fight about it, but you’re right. These swimsuits are fucked up. I live in Florida and buy a couple new bikinis every year (I don’t wear them out or anything; it’s a compulsion). The main issue I have with each one of these is the fucked up tan lines they’ll create.

I am waiting for the progressive democrats and a bunch of liberal-minded independents to break off and start a true, thriving Progressive Party. I’m done with the Democratic party. They’re a sham -- it’s just Reaganism lite. I think we need a real Progressive Party.

Professional racing is the only pro-level sport I can think of where it is mixed gender already and always has been. There’s never been a women’s circuit for racing because cars are cars.

Well, I was wondering how the hell any potential employer would know? I guess that law makes it legal to ask about in a job interview, but there’s nothing from preventing one from lying her butt off. “I’m looking for a job because I just left the convent.”

Exactly. Sometimes I find something I like the look and price of, but in my experience, they’re either horribly uncomfortable and or they fall apart in a few weeks with normal use.

I got a puppy at age 5 or 6 in the exact same way. My dad ran screaming into the house about how I’d better get out to the backyard and pick up that box I left out there right friggin’ now. Crying, hysterical, wondering wtf box he’s talking about because I didn’t leave any box in the backyard...

IIRC, one of the laces on her skate had broken. They let her fix it and start over.

But welders make damn good money.

So judgey, ew.

And that’s exactly why I was and still am a huge fan of hers. Why should the fancy rich bitches get all the respect? Trailer trash people deserve love too. A lot of the hatred and vitriol directed toward Harding was nothing but snobby, uptight classist bullshit, IMO. I came from a similar background and related to her…

As a dancer, I cannot imagine trusting or respecting a dance instructor who can barely walk across a room. Standing in the room shouting at me and tearing my self-esteem to shreds is not dance instruction. I am not a parent, but I think if I observed just one dance class where my kid was berated like that, I don’t…

Not so much, though, because Susan Smith is still in prison.

Yes. Because I don’t have any brothers and I don’t have a boyfriend or a husband or any man in my corner really. (My dad lives but he belongs to a misogynistic cult, so... not really in my corner.)

Thank you. That was much better written!

Little trouble with this sentence:

OUCH. How you gonna dilate your own cervix to get it past there?

I totally think he’s right. Very Handmaid’s Tale.

Look into long-term care insurance?

I think the Democratic party should be totally disbanded and a new, truly Progressive party put together from the various factions of former democrats and independents.

Think of the short lines at WalMart!
