“Apple, take me away!”

Tell your co-worker about Bluetooth wireless headphones. I have an iPhone 7 and have the same damn charging/headphones problem which I initially tried to solve using a splitter that had a dock for each, but it just made the audio sound like trash. I really like these Skullcandy ones; they’re about 30 bucks and have…

When I first saw this pic, I legit thought “omg, it can even spray a fine, refreshing mist!”

mental illness? fuck that. Toxic male entitlement is what this is. Women with mental illness dont go around doing this shit

I’m not “fabulously sized.” I am a fat woman who wears size 18. I just want clothes.

Tomorrow night is the gear up/open practice for the local roller derby team. Fresh Meat clinic is next Saturday and regular practices are every Sunday. I am literally so excited I don’t think I will be sleeping.

I got a cat! It’s my very first pet of my own (not my parents). She’s feisty and sassy and fun and extra cuddly in the mornings.

My Lovelies!

On Thursday afternoon, as I was walking out the door to go pick up my second grader from school, my 90 lb Irish wolfhound mix bolted out the door because he spotted a cat sitting in the street. He chased the cat into the backyard of the house across the street, and I was calling him back. The street right in front of…

I read those articles and I have no wish to make you feel bad or invalidated. But not everything needs a label. Not being attracted to most people based solely on physical beauty is not, in my opinion, a particularly unusual or distinct trait and bears zero resemblance with the LGBTQ community.

I thought this was the scene she was talking about! It was the first time I’d heard the word “sexism”. I was 7 years old watching that in a theater and I woke up to sexism.

She wants to have kids someday and no-really-I’m-American Dr Grant, who is her partner, is kinda ehhhh but his character arc in the film warms him up to the idea.

Yeah, I’m going to be THAT commenter and say that I was disappointed in the moment Dern mentioned because it feeds into a caricature of feminism (white women replacing men in power). There are several other much more powerful moments. BTW, I HEART Laura Dern.

thank you! that is the part of the movie i thought this article was about.

All of this. Also literally every dumbass decision in the movie is made by a dude, and since Ellie and Lex have interactions that aren’t about men it passes the Bechdel test.

Jurassic Park has more than a seed of feminism.

Yep. Just a great movie.

I went into paleobotany because of Laura Dern’s character in Jurassic Park.

Jurassic Park holds up extremely well, honestly. The female lead is wearing sensible clothes given her profession and no one stops her from doing her job because she’s a woman. The young girl is the hacker and Goldblum is the shirtless eye candy. All the dinosaurs are female!
