Omg I fell down a vintage hair/makeup/dressing/posture tutorial video rabbit hole and have found my weird Internet fetish. I, an avowed feminist and constant Teva’s/ponytail wearer, FUCKING LOVE IT. I love the aesthetics and I think I get a weird little asmr tickle out of all of the old tutorial vids.

I watched the video, and I wish I hadn’t. This was an execution. That cop’s gun was almost against the victim’s head. This is a fucking point-blank execution. And the cops get to go home and “think about it.” I hope they can’t sleep because of the guilt, but I doubt it.

That’s a legitimate question. I think, if I were in the same situation, I would immediately comply. However, I have had the privilege of growing up without an an inherent fear/mistrust of cops (I’m white). If I were a black man, my reaction may be totally different. I can’t say. The unfortunate truth is this kind of…

Here’s a good diy option if you’ve got an Ace bandage lying around, or some scrap fabric!

Prey, Kill, Ate would also be compelling, IMO.

Nope. Definitely not “only in New York.” That’s the kind of seemingly petty, no-win situation that neighbors participate in ALL OVER THE WORLD.

Well I’m now in white-bread suburbia where the most interesting crime is tax evasion. And I’ve got two pups that would probably bark and pee a little if someone broke in. My life is definitely a lot less interesting, but significantly more safe now.

We have two guns, both inherited. One is my ancestors’ rifle that definitely doesn’t fire anymore (we took it to have it appraised and the guy told us it would probably explode if we tried to shoot with it), and the other is a handgun that my dad gave me when I moved downtown. They both make me extremely nervous but…

I LOVE THIS. I LOVE THE FACT THAT THEY ARE BOTH WORKING CLASS LIKE EVERY OTHER NORMAL PERSON ALMOST AS MUCH AS I LOVE THAT THEY ARE BOTH OPENLY TRANS.

I have an odd assortment of charities I donate to/work with. A local animal rescue that I adopted a dog through, and ended up volunteering/fostering/buying a shit ton of dog food for them. I think it helps assuage the guilt that I can’t adopt ALL THE ANIMALS.

You are so right!! Thank you for recommending an org that is actually making a difference, and here is the ranking from Charity Navigator for those interested:

I would just like to have it on record that Mr. Dumbbelle and I compare farts, and congratulate our dogs when they fart too.

That was my first thought! Regardless of how it happened (not to poo-poo the allegations, just regardless) THE SCHOOL SHOULD HAVE CONTACTED THE PARENTS IMMEDIATELY. If anything, just to protect their own butts.

Not necessarily. I was burned/cut by a rope that someone (my dumb cousin) had let go of.

Y’all. Y’ALL. KROGER CARD. DO IT. GET IT NOW.

Woah, woah, woah. What’s this about fucking over Oprah? What in the hell happened? And don’t you generally disappear, only to turn up 6 months later working in a bodega in Chile if you pull a stunt against Oprah?

I’ve not had great luck with the Deva Curl system, unfortunately. I’m a basic white girl with hair that is too textured for most stylists/products that work with Caucasian hair, but not textured enough for African American products. I seem to be smack dab in the middle.

I so enjoyed reading this! Tried to go blonde from my natural red a few years ago and had an AWFUL time. The stylist said she knew how to deal with super curly hair (which sooo many stylists have said in the past, though so few can deliver the results) and would “accentuate” the curls with some highlights/lowlights.…

Yes and fucking yes. So much better.

Peaky. Fucking. Blinders.
