His father is Swiss and he basically had an arranged marriage with Billy Graham’s oldest daughter, Gigi. It’s all very creepy.

My town has a “progressive” branded evangelical church that uses this rule (I’ve never seen it called the billy graham rule before) and it played out in a way that definitely disadvantages women professionally, inside or outside the church. I’ve heard from women who couldn’t get into a ride share to work, get invited…

Hand made Mario rugs aren’t worth a dime huh?

Crochet is fun as hell and very, very relaxing, not to mention the sense of accomplishment when you finish a tricky project is always a great buzz. Having the drive and the discipline to finish this over such a long period of time is incredible. I think it would benefit more people to pick up a craft, men included.

I found this amazing beautiful piece at my local thrift store:

to the south, the flag never represented slavery, it represented their fight to maintain ‘states rights...Even though it’s original meaning had nothing to do with slavery.

The Right to Free Speech doesn’t give people the right to force others— individuals, businesses, organizations or other institutions— to be complicit in aiding the dissemination their message.

I say this without a shred of irony or sarcasm: when are white men going to stand up and pressure each other to get themselves under control?

I am 5’5.5. Kit’s eyes are flush with mine although he is leaning slightly. I’d say 5’6 and not a half-inch taller. (P.S. He is a genuine and lovely fellow. Also, he smells really good.)

Yeah. I’m really not a big fan of when sites that are ostensibly feminist make fun of dudes for 1) being short, 2) having small dicks, or 3) using sex toys. Pretty hypocritical and just generally unchill.

Poor guy is just average height. He just has tall co-workers.

I met him a few times in Toronto and he was roughly... I want to say 5’5” with brown eyes, smile like the sunrise. But in all seriousness, 5’6” at the very tallest.

After the Queen, it goes:
Charles (the monarch’s eldest son, The Prince of Wales, the traditional title of the heir for many years. Incidentally, the current queen, Elizabeth II, was made Princess of Wales when her father became King, because that’s a courtesy title given to the wife of the Prince of Wales)
William…

I’m not American ... and in fact live in a nation that is heavily surveilled by the DOJ and its allies so... not convincing. This is a government resource similar to the ones paid for by GWB that dismissed the assertions of scientists who proved the climate change was upon us ...

Of course, the high incidence of sexual assaults perpetrated on traditionally college-aged women, who, by an unbelievable coincidence are the fictive and sometimes real objects of abuse and projections of abuse fantasies in sex work / pornography, have nothing whatsoever to do with the proliferation of violence and…

Not to mention that it’s scientifically proven that it’s the father who determines the sex of the child. Why is it her fault they didn’t have a boy? At least her husband has been very supportive of her and so at least she’s got a decent marriage out of it. But that family and it’s traditions are so tough.

Ouf - that was a tough read. Like, how could you not come to resent your husband over time in that situation? Nevermind your sister in law who is praised for her courage in producing a third child (a boy, obvs) in a low-birth-rate society, and held up as an example to which other women (cough cough, you) should…

I think there’s a lot more to it, it’s not like they’re refusing work. I seriously doubt they’d be allowed to get away with that. I think the palace is very carefully leveraging their public appearances, because they get the most publicity out of everyone. Like I said, I think it’ll pick up quite a bit more in the…

The past week I’ve been asking myself why I feel like I’m failing, all the time, when in reality I’m a top performer at my computer, well known in the industry I work in, have a fantastic boyfriend and friendships and find time to exercise regularly and take up other activities (painting, volunteering, etc).
