And because we can’t afford anything resembling a yard. Ayn Rand didn’t account for the need for green space, apparently. But by all means! Stack em up and pack em in.

I’m totally growing an avocado tree in my apartment. Lol

This was part of my thought. I’ve been an apartment dweller for many years now, and not having a yard means you don’t get to garden. I actually enjoy gardening — finding plants that I love, growing them, and so on. I have a small balcony (that I don’t have the money right now to situate with larger planters and the…

If millennials are into houseplants, it’s just a resurgence because housewives of the 1950s and 1960s were the MASTERS of indoor greenery. Check out your grandma’s ridicuously old and prosperous Christmas cactus.

So, respectfully, then why in the ever-loving hell is your statement that Sarah Polley is “notoriously hard to work with” even relevant to her account of her experiences of sexual harassment in the industry? Do you have a point or does it just make you feel important to know people who know people?

They are probably all growing their own avocado trees so they can disrupt the avocado toast industry and crash the one growth area they created, devious little fuckers.

this is weirdly poetic. it’s like a haiku on shrooms.

On the other hand, I love that a nine-year-old Polley would have the gumption to speak up in such a way.

If you’re not female, it’s often hard to “see” or witness the same things they’re seeing and witnessing. Sometimes it’s because men aren’t doing it around other men, and sometimes it’s because men tune it out when it isn’t directly affecting them, and sometimes men partake in it too, and are complicit in the sexist…

Cool, but you know you just used *your* personal experience to try and invalidate hers, right? Also, where I come from “notoriously hard to work with,” is just code for “a woman who doesn’t put up with bullshit.” I’m #teampolley on this one.

I agree with everything you said but I think there has been an over correction on white feminism. When men of color, who still have it better than white women, feel comfortable enough to publicly bash white women for their privlidge on a generalized level it’s gone too far. Only women of color get to do that imo.

Whiteness has an ignorance that is bottomless”

I grew up watching Sarah Polley in Ramona Quimby and Road To Avonlea and Canadian films, and by weird chance I keep running into her when I go on walks and run errands. I’ve eaten lunch or dinner or had a coffee sitting at the table next to her at least 7 times. Sometimes she talks to her companion about the project…

holy shit, right!? I don’t even think I could make my brain think that thought, much less my mouth say that sentence, when in conversation with a child.

He responded to a nine-year old: “You won’t be saying that when you’re 40 and you’ve got cobwebs in your box.”

I’ve always felt their clothes were boring and expensive. I can get a pair of denim shorts at Target for about twenty-five bucks less than at the Gap AND three tees for the price of one pseudo-vintage Gap tee.

I’ve just not been able to determine, at any point in the last 10 years, who Gap thought they were making clothes for. I still enjoy their Gap Body stuff, and when their athletic stuff is on sale I’ll take a peek, but their regular clothes are just so fucking bizarre. It’s like hey, what if we took regular t-shirts…

They pissed me off with their cheap fabrics and bad cuts. AND the fact their stores ostentatiously stocked nothing above an XL, even though you could get “extended sizes” easily on their websites. You don’t want people to see me buying clothes in your stores? I’m not buying them off your website, either.

Yeah, I don’t believe the gossip industry is nicer for a second. There was a second coming of gossip friendly stars - instead of actors complying with studio orders, we have reality stars providing information to build their brands - but the real dirt is still gathered in dirty ways. They’re more likely to be from…

YAAAAAS! YAAAAAAAAAAAS! Bring me all the stirrup pants, legwarmers, and big hair! I’m tired of looking at kids dressed like it’s the 70s. Whether it was the first 70s nostalgia, or the 90s inspired by the 70s nostalgia, or might be 90s nostalgia but it’s really 70s nostalgia gone wrong. FUCK ALL OF IT!
