Like calling your partner your ‘lover’. Like Liz Lemon says, that word bums me out unless it’s between meat and pizza.

It was mean but true. At 24 I was a fucking dramatic idiot about relationships too so I do feel for this girl to an extent. At the same time, I find it funny she’s so concerned with this dude’s psycho girlfriend when she’s a bit psycho and obsessive herself. Maybe look in a mirror first before pointing fingers at…

Just cosigning. I hadn’t been kissed until I was 22 at which time I pretty rapidly got into a relationship with someone much more experienced than me. I was learning things about my emotional, romantic, and sexual boundaries that most people figure out in High School. I was embarrassed that things affected me as much…

I cannot seem to locate the post, but earlier today, on one of the Kinja sites, a politician decided to ‘proactively’ mention the women with whom he has ‘made passionate love’ in his lifetime, in order to stave off any outing.

Regular Jane replies:

That’s the exact thing I thought when I read LW1 - this is someone who is very inexperienced who is caught up in the drama of someone else’s relationship. And I certainly understand that can put some excitement into what may seem like an otherwise boring life, while at the same time feel comparatively safe - I have…

LW #1: That dude is a dick and I wonder if you’re getting this “psycho girlfriend” info from him or if you have other sources for this info. If it’s just from him he is probably lying so he can continue to string you along and not date you while also having an excuse for why because he likes the attention he gets from…

Listen to how he talks about the women in his life. That’s how he’ll talk about you after the initial rush wears off.

Why in the world would someone be expected to invite their surrogate to a baby shower? She’s not a friend, she’s not the baby’s mom, she is a woman who is being paid for a service. Blurring those lines is dangerous - the minute you start considering her the “mother,” (or one of the family if she is not), you open up…

It’s satire - that’s why it’s in the comedy category. It’s not really a horror movie, it just uses the horror format and horror tropes to tell its satirical story. Oh, and Kumail Nanjiani is totally gong to win.

I don’t want to be equal to men. I want to dismantle the machinery that makes that even a question. And, frankly, I want to be better than men. They’ve had their time and have really cocked things up.

Yup the exotic angle was exactly my guess too.

I think it’s weird because it kinda invokes the fetishized exotic. The best I can figure is that they saw this as a more powerful look, which in turn implies that she is less so the way she was. I can’t phrase my feeling well, but that’s how it stuck me.

I’m a photographer and I have to edit photos all the time. Never, ever would I think to photoshop someone’s entire ponytail out. In general modeling it’s different, because they are going for a look, and a model is hired to be that look. But when freaking Lupita Nyongo—who regardless does look stunning with or…

To the obviously non-natural-haired, non-Black people commenting about how they don’t what the problem is and people are getting outraged for no reason:

Honestly, my first impression was that they removed her hair to look more “Other” (i.e. exotic and otherworldly) in the way African-heritage women are often depicted in fashion shoots. To me that’s not her look at all - she has more of a fresh, girl-next-door type of beauty - but they’re forever trying to style her…

I’m guessing they were looking at some of her past photos when she had super short hair and wanted to replicate them because she has one of the most beautiful skulls on the planet (not joking at all), but they REALLY should have known this was hugely problematic and asked her first!

Oh my god, I can relate to this. Went through his phone when he went to the bathroom cause he had been pretty damn bad about hiding it earlier that day. Bam. Most recent text convo.

I’ve met a couple of Tequila’s over the years.

Despite the cruel and heartbreaking nature of it the Meredith Kercher case is fascinating in regards to how utterly at opposite ends of the spectrum the view is between the UK-US when the two countries are usually so in sync, largely it seems because of the Press on both sides whipping the case up into an…
