It’s obvious once you know, but to kids/teenagers and makeup newbs, it’s not. I remember working my way through the makeup aisle in the drugstore as a teenager, trying every single kind of mascara, frustrated and confused that my lashes never looked ANYTHING like the lashes in the adverts. I remember that now and…

The last meal descriptions always depress me the most. Here, have some strawberry cake, I made your favorite because we are killing you tonight.

You brought up penile circumcision on an FGM post in the first place. You did the exact same thing that MRAs do. I realize you did it for entirely different reasons — as I wrote, your experience is important and valid — but it is NOT this. You are a woman who experienced penile circumcision and that is not what is…

I think the White House might look a lot like this these days, with 100% less science.

She’s trying to redefine words to mean something different because that’s what fascists do.

privilege means never having to say you’re sorry...

I am not white, not male, not a lesbian, but in the late 90s this movie meant so much to me as an example of open sexuality. You just didn’t see it that often, presented so matter-of-factly. What you seem to brush off as a kind of bro’s attitude to lesbianism I found to be a pretty fair example of most people’s…

he went to jail for catcalling? i can agree that it’s something that people shouldn’t do, but i don’t know if actual jailtime makes sense.

And yes, committing green card and insurance fraud are serious crimes. So were hiding Jews in your attic or slaves in your basement.

I cannot agree with this sentiment.

But it’s real. It would have been less satisfying to tie up everything neatly. I love the ambiguity of the ending, and I think it serves his purposes by reminding us that everything—even the end of the world—is temporary.

The Stand is perfection.

“Even though it’s super long, I always want it to be longer when I finish it.”

I have a bachelor’s degree in English and a master’s in writing. And I get crap all the time for the following fact, but I do not care: Stephen King is hands-down my favorite writer. I’ve read and enjoyed almost all his work. He’s obviously not going to expand your vocabulary or challenge your comprehension, but what…

My absolute favorite, and one of my favorite books period, is King’s “The Stand.” A post-apocalyptic story that you cannot believe was written in 1978, still really prescient and one of the great precursors of the post-apocalyptic genre boom.

I was way too young as well, I used to put IT and Pet Semetary in my sister’s room so they’d get her first.

My cat fucking loves me. She loves people in general, but she is especially attached to me. She is at the door when I get home from work. She will paw me for hours after I get home so I won’t forget to give her love and affection. She follows me everywhere. If I go in the bathroom without her she claws the door till…
