Ha ha ha it seems like he got his comeuppance. Good dog.

I would have clawed his eyes out, before even realizing who he was. I’m just a skittish girl like that.

Yeah, fish makes me sick and I’ve been a vegetarian so I’m not unsympathetic to people with dietary restrictions. But there is a polite way to let someone know that you really appreciate the effort they put into something but unfortunately it will make you ill if you eat it. These people’s dietary restrictions were…

Yup. Unless you will become physically ill, just take a bite and say a polite thank you. It’s not hard.

Sure, he could be there to kill her, but you never want to take the chance of offending a strange man who comes to your home unsolicited because that would be a tragedy.

Really? You like her for slut shaming a complete stranger whose nude pictures she can just chose not to look at if they offend her? Khloe was super shitty with how she responded to it, but Chloe was out of line for attacking KK’s nudes. But I know on jezebel a lot of commenters think the Kardashians are tacky sluts…

The costumes from the film make women look bustier and fuller figured than is in fashion today. I can completely see producers deciding it was really an issue with the actress’s body and her responsibility to resolve it through starvation. Reasonable.

A friend of mine did a yoga trip/training in India. One night, their host who was Indian made them all pizza because he knew Westerners loved pizza. Every single person except her refused to eat the pizza because they were gluten free/vegan/carb free. She literally cried telling me the story. People are the worst.

A really nice guy I hooked up with once in college came to house in the middle of the night and threw rocks at my window. He was 27. You betcha I stuck my head out and screamed at him for a solid 10 minutes. He was a genuinely good dude, and he had no idea how creepy it was because fucking John Cusack.

I won’t dismiss your feelings as a queer kid who wished you were represented, they are completely valid. I personally don’t lay any blame at JK Rowling’s feet because it would have been a huge anomaly at the time and the books overall are not focused on the characters’ sexuality. But yeah, it would have been great if…

That’s true, and I would appreciate it if she wrote some LGBT characters into her future work.

Everyone, including politicians and talking head sportsmen, needs to wear makeup when being filmed/shot on digital. The bright studio lights and high definition digital film washes people out at the same time that it highlights every crease and bag. I like her natural makeup look, but makeup is a necessary tool so you…

I was on some meds that made me eat everything in my fridge every night. Like, entire jars of jam or eating straight up brown sugar with a spoon. My neighbor started asking me if I work out and I have to say no, it’s the opposite actually.

I hear that if you pay for Khloe’s app, she’ll explain how she did it. It’s a steal at $2.99.

dead.

Great piece, this type of writing can easily seem pretentious, academic, and disconnected from the reality of political struggle, but this is perfect. Reading about Russian today is a stark reminder to the West that progress is not an inexorable march forward. We can easily be pushed backwards, if we allow it.

Good point. I think the US was having a bit of a conservative cultural backlash at the time, but I don’t know what things were like in the UK. Bush was in office while I was in middle and high school, and I remember my school in liberal CA heavily focused on abstinence only education and gay teachers couldn’t be out…

I mean, I have zero interest in this film because Power Rangers are dumb. I figure anything with a concept this stupid is being aimed at the 12-18 range (most who will need a parent to take them to the movie and buy their ticket, so are “kids” to me) and will probably get watching by a lot of younger kids as well. I…

Is she really 58? I feel like there are a lot of actresses who have been in their “50s” for more than a decade now, and she was in scarface 30+ years ago and seemed like an adult woman not a young girl in that movie. Actresses are also notorious for lying about their ages. I see these headlines about a older…

That’s a great point, and fashion/celebrity media coverage is actually focused on women so it makes sense that women are drawn to it. Those have historically been considered “female realms,” where women overachieved compared to men.
