I don't agree that it's not the same. Plenty of people who could pass would never obliterate their true identities in that way, and every single one of those people would receive the same institutional benefits. It takes a particular kind of detachment from reality, or from integrity, to do deny who you really are.

Well it's happened before in the other direction—people "passing" as white, and living a lie. It's bizarre and creepy in that direction too.

What? That guy is so wrong.

Maybe it's just me, but my vagina doesn't look like that. A Ricola horn, on the other hand—just like that.

There's a $100,00 dollar reward for information leading to their capture. That's really important to think about if you're a broke person like me.

Oooh. I want to take a punch and roll over a table. So fun, friend!

I once took a pratfalling class and learned how to fall! It was scary but fun. I already forgot how to do it, though, and was never confident enough to do it without a mat.

Agreed! Also, falling IS funny. She's a hundred percent correct about that.

I am in a similar boat, maybe. I'm in early 40's and just now starting career that I care about, and finishing master's degree in said career. But socially, I am just nowhere. I have a few good friends, but I spend many a weekend, including this one, alone and lonely. I feel ashamed of my lack of social connections.…

One of them's where I learned about feminism.

I guess. Just, as a woman with three older brothers—two of whom viewed me as a human being, one of whom viewed me as an object—yuck, fucked up, chilling.

I know! How does “curious about girls” translate into viewing his own sisters as sex objects? They’re his sisters!

I would be pretty fat if I had that job. But it would be worth it if they fed me chocolates.

Oy.

Does Jewel not know what "remiss" means, or is there some level of meaning to her tweet that is eluding me?

Sean Lowe and Catherine Guidici? They're still married. I think it's been a year.

Let's discuss whether or not that's art. Or actually, let's not.

Looks like it's from a Disney Eloise movie.
