Just tell them they’re not that attractive and you don’t know who let them talk. Maybe if they were hotter you would listen to their opinions.

Alternatively:

And of course I heard someone say “She’s not even that attractive and she’s not funny. I don’t know who let her be on tv. Maybe if she was hotter I would watch her show”

I just like her. It is so refreshing to hear someone say “I weigh 160 pounds.” It’s something that should NOT matter at all. But, as someone who is also around that, it’s nice to hear and see that it’s normal.

I feel like the narrator on that show should be up for an Emmy.

I love this and his character so much!

Love Jane the Virgin, love Rogelio but never had pants-feelings for him... until now.

Yes! I know Adichie isn’t saying you should be a raging bitch to everyone all the time, and I totally get and agree with what she is saying: girls and women are encouraged to tie our self-worth to what other people think of us, and consequently we spend way too much time trying to change and conceal and lie about what…

Those questions drive me crazy. It’s like, “Explain to me how people of color are different from white people. And by the way, you can’t get mad I’m asking a stupid question because that’s being hostile.”

Yaaaaaaaassss. I’m so here for this new crop of teen and YA black celebs getting all up in their afro-futurist feels and daring to be weird in public. There’s room for that and I am SO EXCITED to see what kind of work they’ll be putting out into the world as they get older.

I used to do a lot of club and party performing and I had a Long Island, Jewish housewife “character” Rona, that I used a few times. I got this character from a woman I met at a bus stop in Seattle who was visiting from NY who preceded to tell me the craziest stories. Rona wore a plaid polyester pant suit and had big…

Many years ago now, I had worked late and was half way through my walk home when I realised that I would need to try and find a bathroom as I wasn’t going to make it all the way home. Most of the shops were shut by this time but happily, a posh homewares store was having a pre-opening, invite only party. I slipped in,…

When I was in high school, I went to see This Is Spinal Tap in the theater with a metalhead girlfriend who really didn’t get why I was laughing so hard. That it seemed like a fairly straightforward movie to her tells you a lot about much drugs and alcohol she consumed. Whereas while everyone at school assumed I did…

I went to England with my sister in the early 90s, or you, know when the world still loved Americans. My sister had really long brown hair and was tall and skinny, and had a passing resemblance to Alanis Morrisette. As soon as we got off the fucking plane, people were FREAKING THE FUCK OUT. OMG is that Alanis??? So we…

Nah there’s this fashion thing where you push bracelets way up your arm to show off how skinny you are, that your forearm is as skinny as a wrist. This is just the poorly-thought-out leg version of that.
