I actually got super emotional and started tearing up. Which I guess is just evidence of how currently alone and unloved I am feeling at this point in my life. So it is oddly relaxing and upsetting for me.

She sang a duet with Nick Cave that I will forever love. The video and the song are just gorgeous. Everyone should check it out. It’s called “Where the Wild Roses Grow”.

I just assumed the twist is the one with the disorder is the girl and she’s been an unreliable narrator the whole time.

Bluebeard’s Egg, by Margaret Atwood. It’s a collection of short stories, I’m only at the beginning but I really like it already.

I just started The Night Circus, which my mother gave me something like six years ago, and I’ve just gotten around to now. After half a day, I’m nearly half way through. It’s a mesmerizing read. Highly recommended if you like Victorian-set fiction, with a dusting of magic!

I know a lot of Mexican girls that sound like the description a poster above used for herself, obviously all Mexican men are not machistas, if they were, there is no way so many Mexican girls would be raised to be so outspoken. The Mexican women I know don’t take any crap. It’s like every other group of people, there…

I’m a redhead from San Diego and Austin. I’ve spent my life happily surrounded by and utterly adored by Mexican men. My 3rd fiance was Mexican as was my most recent longterm lover. Some of them are macho sexist jerks. But many are THE MOST sensitive, sweet, romantic, passionate partners alive.

It sounds like your grandma had bad relationships with men in general.

You’ve never had vigorous drunken sex have you?

Not everything is going to emotional resound with us. That is okay. A few things on your list were things I enjoyed a lot. It’s weird but American Crime is a show that I really connected with because it was the last show I watched before my aunt died of cancer. I thought it was good before that but knowing this was…

it’s so funny b/c vegetarians and vegans (or anyone with ethically-based food restrictions) have this reputation for being super strident and loud about their views but I always found it to be the exact opposite. I went out of my WAY to not bring it up because people liked to argue with me about it. I genuinely hated…

This is interesting to me because I became pescatarian in the last year for moral reasons and people like to pick fights about it with me too. Some along the same lines as your skittles example, and others like “But you don’t care about the FISH?!!”

So I was a vegetarian for many years for moral reasons, and people always liked to sort of pick fights with me about it along the lines of “well you don’t eat meat, BUT I BET YOU EAT SKITTLES AND THEY’RE MADE WITH HORSE BONES*” or “UR SHOES HAVE LEATHER IN THEM I BET” or whatever. Which, I mean, they aren’t wrong, but…

Fuck all of you for making fun of his eye condition — guess what? I look like that, too, because of a permanent injury from being beaten by an abusive ex. It can’t be fixed.

As someone born with eye problems and who has had multiple painful surgeries to make my eyes look “normal” and who grew up surrounded by people who would assume there’s something wrong with *me* because my eyes are weird . . . there’s a reason why, even when dealing with despicable people, it’s important to take the…

You don’t actually think white people look like that do you? Have you ever seen white people before?

I want the mother and grandma charged with endangerment

Literally no one was even suggesting that Weiner had any sexual desire for his son, and it’s SUPER creepy that you think that’s what people are suggesting? I say this without snark: that’s not a normal conclusion for you to assume people are jumping to.

Please let that hairstyle come back into vogue. Pleeeeaaase. I would have to change nothing. Nothing. And yet my children would suddenly be willing to be seen with me in public.
