Same! But generally only if they don’t queue up when walking next to someone else. I’ll keep to one side but I refuse to stop or step off the sidewalk if the person headed my way has ample room to also take a side. But I rarely bump into anyone because I square my shoulders and assume a sort of male stride or…

Same. I thought the costumes and color were to die for, but overall it just lacked something I couldn’t put my finger on. And that shaky cam scene at the end was just so awkward and off I thought I’d die.

came here to say just that: none of these qualify as reboots, and Gilmore Girls is not an 80s or 90s show.

Eh, I’m a queer lady but I don’t feel it’s getting snubbed. It was a good movie but it didn’t take my breath away or anything the way Brokeback (or any of my other favorite dramas) did—but that’s just me. :) I’m very glad that a movie about a positive lesbian relationship is getting this much attention and praise,…

Wait....why is Blanchett up for Best Actress and Mara up for Supporting Actress for Carol? Correct me if I’m wrong, but although Blanchett played the titular role, Mara’s character seemed very much the main protagonist to me. Whatever. I’m just thrilled to see it on the list for best costume design. The movie was good…

Just a PS because I know my comment is so mean: I do understand how calming and relaxing drawing or painting can be (even when paired w loud conversations and crappy music) and I am glad these things give people that (whereas they otherwise might not ever work up the motivation to draw or paint at home). Still could…

Man, I’m all about people enjoying harmless shit, and art being art no matter how “good” it is so long as the artist made something for the pleasure of making it....but I HATE these goddamn Paint Nite things. There is nothing in the world more nakedly basic. And no one more annoying than the old high school…

good god I love Enrique and am still so sad, three years later, that I missed him at our state fair. According to my friends, he pulled some random dude up on stage and sort of interviewed him between songs. The guy had recently immigrated from (Pakistan, I wanna say?) and when Enrique asked him why he’d come to…

EXACTLY. A huge part of being an evangelical christian is the idea that trials are supposed to be when you rely on and trust your god the most. The more awful the situation, the harder you’re supposed to dig your heels in and suffer through it, trusting that god has a plan and all that horseshit. So to profess a…

And thus begins and ends the list of things I have in common with Ted Cruz:

1. We both have no idea how to interact with small children.

It would amaze you less if you read the one where she suffers a breakdown because a tattoo artist wouldn’t give her the tattoo she wanted, and then tries to publicly shame him by posting some of his actually really good work.

Dear god, thank you. The only thing more annoying than an overdone joke is a comment about how overdone it is. A whole article explaing why it’s not funny though? That is some next level annoying shit.

Thing is: what this mother doesn’t understand is, her daughter would call her if she’d stop making such a big deal out of it. I guarantee it. If she stopped demanding contact, stopped calling and texting to try and get her daughter to pick up, and making actual demands about the frequency of correspondence, then her…

Same. I moved across the country on a whim. No job ahead of me, knew no one where I was going. My mom took it as a personal insult on behalf of the entire family and kept equating my move to me “not caring about family”. I had the funds, but just barely, and I was counting on this check she had found, one of those…

My mom and I went through this. It was definitely a push-pull thing that backfired on her for a while, and I’m not proud of it, but she didn’t exactly handle it all that well either. So I consider us even.

HOLY SHIT I grew up in WV and these were called porch geese and they were a legit THING in the mid 90s. EVERY HOME had one on the porch, and you would put different seasonal outfits on them. You could only find them and the outfits at flea markets, but somehow everyone still had one. My favorite was when my grandma…

*barfs forever*

Me too. There are a few in my friend circle. Nostalgia, I get. Watching a beloved cartoon now and again, I get. Going to a theme park, I get. Theme parks are fun.

Maybe it’s not intended to be a move of direct cause/effect thing (ie, equating rape and sex, and using one to barter for the end of the other), but a call to attention to the side doing the least work. Maybe it could be more like us women saying, “You know what? We’re tired of doing this alone. No one listens, no one…

Ughhh, what kills me most about people like this is that they HAVE to explain that they’re rolling out because of The Gays. Don’t get me wrong—I’m all for shitty people being transparent in their shittiness so we can educate, shame, or avoid them as the situation calls for—but goddamn if these fuckers aren’t just…
