I knew two doctors who provided abortions when they were illegal. I knew them post-Roe; both were good men who truly wanted to help women. I worked for one in his restaurant; this was in the ‘80s and besides finding out he was the Dr K, I remember how the cook, who was trans, was treated no differently than anyone…

Honoring someone with music is Peak Welsh. Makes me proud of my genes. 

Actually, it IS as easy as keeping cats inside.

I didn’t think you were - sorry if I wrote my reply so badly it seemed as though I did! We are in agreement and I was expanding on that, too! Agreeing on the intertubes is so unusual these days I may be bad at it. 

I have a Dyson (vacuum, heater and fan!) and a Roomba. I fucking love the Roomba.

I totally agree; that’s what I was trying to convey with Kabuki Feminity: heavy, over-stylized yet oddly the same. (A true take on the Kabuki look would be cool AF, though.)

(I feel I should add I’m old enough to fart dust yet I have bright cyan blue hair with magenta at the root line. Don’t wear makeup much, except to occasionally fix up my eyebrows. Bc lazy.)

I am super Old (53; I fart dust). I am aware of the YouTube crap - I grow orchids and it seems everyone has a stupid series of vids with an insane number of followers - but I am SO uninterested in it. I can read; I can read pretty damn fast, in fact. I don’t want to sit through some long-ass video of someone who…

It’s like Kabuki Feminity. It’s such hyper feminity it’s become a parody of feminity. I like extreme makeup - such as Bowie’s Aladdin Sane/Ziggy Stardust type looks - but these look as though they were done by people who either hate women or who have no idea what one looks like. 

THANK YOU. Victims of child sexual abuse have been branded with this false stigma for far too long. The raped do not grow up to rape. 

She’s not a child collector - she’s more like a hoarder.

JFC, that looks like an illustration of different stages of a yeast infection. 0/10 would put Monistat on it then toss. 

There’s so much to unpack from the Pro-Liars new pro-lie strategy, which is basically: every pregnancy is truly planned and perfect; every woman is healthy enough to withstand pregnancy and childbirth; every fetus is healthy; US maternal death rates aren’t alarmingly high; woman = mother and no more than that,…

which I am really trying to muster some freaking empathy.

One of those stories was being out on some school excursion and witnessing a purse snatching. When she told her teacher - a nun - that she’d just seen a woman get her purse snatched, she was slapped and told, “Never call a n****r a lady.”

5’3”. Cropped and Capri length save me from hemming shit. 

I don’t need to ask my mother; she told me about the physical abuse she suffered at the hands of nuns at a Catholic school in Missouri in the late ‘40s. Of course, she came from a Protestant family so they needed to beat the devil out of her. Didn’t work; just reinforced the family’s anti-papist bent (it’s a long…

My journalism degree (actually Communications, what was offered at my uni) is more than old enough to drink, but even back when I was a teenager in college, I knew better than to plagiarize when I was first published. This seems like pretty weak sauce to me - pick an article from an obscure publication, do no original…

Not an ‘80s retread - a retread of 1973’s The Girl Most Likely To, co-written by Joan Rivers. In that one, the protagonist (Stockard Channing) is merely homely, not a Fatty Patty, and has reconstructive surgery after a car crash (the result of one of many cruel pranks at her expense) and is turned into a bombshell.…

WAF, married 11 years ago, no bachelorette party, but I did walk down the aisle (by myself, thankyouverymuch) to Also Sprach Zarathustra.
