I highly suggest coconut oil over baby oil. You can use it lightly everywhere but your face. Also you might investigate a chlorine filtering showerhead. You can get one for about $35 on Amazon or at Home Depot. It changed my life, seriously, heat and water alone can dry you out, but hard water and chlorine really does…

Yes, I was just coming to say this. It should required of the companies to cover it for actors. Yes, condoms of course, but there's even enough of a failure rate there, with the amount of fucking these people do, that Prep should be 100% mandatory.

Ah she clearly comes from the same place as my youngest sister, who at 10 or 11 was asking my mom what a word in her book meant, and while showing my mom the page, my sister used her fingers to cover up the word "menstruation" so my mom wouldn't know she read a book with that in it (mom does not care, is still amused).

Thank you. Some days it definitely feels harder than others. I wish our system wasn't so broken.

I feel you so hard on this. two years of near monthly doctor's visits, 3 different kinds of specialists, no diagnosis, repeated insistence for treatments I've already tried. Just the idea of going to a doctor makes me tear up because it seems so futile and because I'm so tired of being hopeful with each one and ending…

I'm kind of a soft butch chick. You know, more likely to be wearing jeans and work boots or a shirt and tie than more femininely gendered garb. And yet I own six tiaras. Some are more plain and delicate, every day tiaras, if you will, but I've got the heavy gem encrusted ones for the occasions when you really need to…

I"m curious about this too. I've long considered homophobia to very muc be men's concern that they will be treated as they treat women. But does that sort of masculine privilege, the right to the time and space of your object of interest also get carried out among gay men. I think it does to some extent, but would…

Many restaurants have policies where all the tips from every server are pooled and then redistributed to the servers (and often the dishwashing and bar staff). So whoever is charge of this accounting has an opportunity to redistribute less than was brought in, since no other individual has seen the final numbers.…

Yeah, this morning as I heard again on the radio how "most" cops are providing diligent and brave service I thought: no sir, if that were true they would be getting all these murderers forced out of the their ranks instead protecting them in the name of some fucked up kind of brotherhood.

I have the Tokyomilk Excess and Arsenic neither of which I like very much, but together they are actually pretty awesome. Not as good as Tainted Love though. I got a rollerball in a gift set. I should just buy a bottle already.

Jr. High was Navy (which now smells like, I dunno, Ivory soap or something baby-ish to me), then in high school I wore Tea Rose. College was a mix of Body Shop's Dewberry, Lagerfeld's Sun Moon and Stars and then Tommy Girl after I graduated. In retrospect I should never be allowed to choose my own perfumes.

I love Tainted Love. I wish the rest of their perfumes were that perfect.

I think it's all in the tone. So, yes, occasionally, it does feel like geniune interest and concern, but mostly it feels like people looking for salacious gossip and drama.

The inappropriate responses never really go away. I was married at 20, divorced at 25. I'm over 40 now and people, upon learning of my youthful marriage, frequently, with shock, say "Oh, you were married before!?" Yeah, uh, in the 3o+ years of my life before I knew you, I managed to do something besides sit like a…

Me too! Sorry everyone who isn't getting Xmas presents from me, but I needed to fulfill my lifelong dream of sharing air with John Cameron Mitchell.

Thank you for this. I'm still slightly weepy and every tribute I read for Leslie Feinburg, this was no exception.

Do we work at the same place? Recently the boss decided the men did look like slobs and solved this by making the managers wear chinos (regular male employees still in jeans) and providing company polo shirts to all the men. The women are still buying their own clothes and being held to much higher appearance standard.

I'm from the PNW, most of my family are still rural farmers up there. Every man in my family has looked like this for at least the last 60+ years. Right now I am wearing heavy work boots, jeans, a flannel shirt, and a down vest (I'm a girl) because a) it's fucking cold right now, and b) I work in the construction…

I had a medical procedure to reposition my jaw and it changed the shape of my entire face. It's subtle and was somewhat gradual. People mostly ask me if I've lost weight but it really kind of freaks my mom out. Every time I see her she brings it up. I catch myself in the mirror periodically and just stare because it…
