I love this. I wish them a glorious, hilarious life together.
I really want to be friends with these people.
I fear that the Kardashians are teaching an entire generation of kids that when you're caught doing something wrong, the proper response is: double down and deny deny deny.
It would be very easy to blame her for picking up snake oil diet pills but no. I won't. I can't help but feel that the industry relies on that attitude to get away with shit. The people who buy into these diet pills and plans typically are fucking desperate to lose weight. It might be for health reasons, or some…
But did she lose any weight?
"Let's take pictures of our butts." - Two adult women
Gabby Giffords is one of my biggest heroes. And the video of her reciting the pledge of allegiance makes me bawl every time I watch it. I'm not sure that we deserve her, but I am so glad that she keeps fighting no matter what.
"But every day we will recruit a few more allies, talk to a few more elected officials, convince a few more voters. Some days the steps will come easily; we'll feel the wind at our backs. Other times our knees will buckle. We'll tire of the burden. I know this feeling. But we'll persist." I find this so inspirational.…
I'm not sure if I'm fully with you, because like I said, I do see value in shining a light on these things and calling them out for being bullshit. They're flourishing on the internet regardless of whether Jez writes a post, and I think there's value is Jez writing about the latest ridiculous thinspo thing and…
You summed it up so succinctly and so eloquently. I've struggled with verbalising those exact feelings because I like to think I'm more body positive than I used to be, in the sense that I know and accept that my body has changed as I have got older and I know what not dancing 10+ hours a week like I did in high…
This is a thing. The push-pull of our society almost always involves those who say they're doing something "good" and protecting people or being "kind".
You've perfectly described my feeling about it. As a feminist and someone in recovery from (it's been about 11 years since I've engaged in prolonged harmful restriction) an eating disorder, I'm also a bit torn here. I think it can be helpful to ridicule thinspo items like these but at the same time isn't there more…
Adding diversity to the writing staff was a far more pressing need than to have the Token Woman Black as the ideas for sketches seem to have gotten stale.
I'm so happy for her. She is gorgeous and hilarious! I hope that everyone treats her well and that she doesn't feel any awkward tension because of everything that happened to even make her hiring happen. This is awesome. I hope that she knocks it out of the park. They better do her justice and give her some good…
That first video is so fucking brilliant.
