It’ll look better once it’s in an actual fabric and not just muslin, but I love the shape of it.

My dress is almost done! Sure it’s taken me over a year to get the muslin to fit right, but all it’ll take is a few edits here and I’ll have like, four different very nice dresses to wear to work. Getting the princess line right was a damn nightmare. I think I went through six or seven versions before I got it to fit?…

Anyone on here have anxiety? My brain likes to pre-worry about shit that hasn’t even happened yet. I just started working a summer job and I haven’t gotten a lot to do, so I’m worried I’m going to end up hating it or the company is going to decide that they don’t need me after all and fire me. I’m looking for any tips…

I’m surprised the case isn’t even being heard. It takes four justices to hear a case, which means one of the four typically liberal justices must have voted against it. I wonder why. Maybe they figured the outcome wouldn’t be favorable and it’d be harder to overturn later?

May I humbly suggest Donatello or Michelangelo as a name for the newest Baldwin?

I have been absolute ball of stress for the last few months between grad school, work, and family. At times, I’ve felt truly depressed and like I would never stop being unhappy. Today I finished what needed to be finished and now I get to just rest. I hope that any of you that are feeling the pressure are doing ok and…

You know, if this goes up to the Supreme Court, I’m not actually sure I like their chances. Gorsuch isn’t the swing vote, Kennedy is. And for everything I find objectionable about Anthony Kennedy (and there is a list), he is very much the kind of justice who sticks with SCOTUS precedent. He sided with O’Connor and…

I’m sorry, but your argument doesn’t hold water.

Can I get odds that Hannity has a bunch of sexual harassment suits and probably a mistress?

Not necessarily. An attorney could have a duty of confidentiality based on a client intake interview. However if the attorney was not providing legal services (say, an attorney was acting as a personal assistant), there is no attorney-client privilege. Attorney-client privilege does not exist just because there is an…

I always get pissed off about these types of motivational speakers that view any type of externalization of blame as “victimhood” or “blaming others.” It always reads, to me, like what they’re trying to do is guilt you and make you dislike yourself so that you’ll buy their next book/attend their next seminar on how to…

I can only cope with this by then remembering Larry Wilmore coming in to show Bill how it should be done.

I fucking hate even the idea of “oh, just listen to the super far-right dude so that you can be more enlightened before you judge” because it assumes there is any starting point from which we can possibly agree. He doesn’t think women are full human beings or that people of color are equal human beings, so we have…

A lot of it is to protect the image of the brand. And that protection traces back to the incredibly sexist base idea that men are aggressors (and in football they are literally paid to be aggressive) and women are supposed to be perfect blends of Madonna/whore who support the men. Basically it’s about performing…

A number of reasons. NFL dance teams often have very tight connections with local dance communities. They can give you an extra boost in terms of getting your career started. Think of it like joining the right sorority. If you’re in the right clique and you’re on the favored list, they can do big favors for you.

And don’t forget Angus King = U.S. Senator from Maine, Independent but tends to vote with the Dems.

If you have to split hairs on what type of private plane you are taking, the facts are most definitely not on your side.

Chuck Todd sucks. I wish they would replace him with Katy Tur.

Brian Williams is a live action Anchor News Ken doll. He doesn’t actually add anything to the broadcast. He might as well just read a damn newspaper on television. And you’re absolutely right about the lying thing. A journalist’s credibility is everything and he lost it the minute he was exposed. I suppose he could…

Joy Reid for everything. I love her show and would most happily replace Brian Williams’ hour of bullshit for her to be on nightly.
