That the coverage is no-win for her is exactly why Osaka needs to skip those things for mental health preservation.

Serena skipping the Olympics at the same time all the UFO videos are coming out!?! There is only one possible conclusion: Serena has been getting help from aliens. Now that the heat is on, the aliens have left the planet and they won’t be around to put a kyber or dilithium crystal in her racquet.

From what I’ve read, the Japanese people don’t want the games to proceed, but they don’t get a say. The IOC is the only body that can cancel, and they are adamant. :(

I am actually still shocked that they are going ahead with the Olympics entirely. That athletes have reasons for not wishing to attend is not at all surprising.

[This article isn’t contributing to it but] I just hate how coverage of Serena always just feels so no-win for her. Does she or doesn’t she have it anymore? Is she or isn’t she a good mother? Is she or isn’t she prioritizing motherhood over career? Is she or isn’t she genteel enough for the sport? Should she or…

Dolly can play several instruments, one of them BEING her nails.

She is credited as such on “9-5".

OMG the day I saw MIL’s employees using my thrown out drawers for rags at the family business. She liberated them from my garbage without my knowledge. Waste not, want not but JFC.

Yep, and there’s a range in the Eileen Fisher—the natural fibres are just plain better quality than the viscose. So if you find linen or silk or wool, with a little care it’ll last.

Seventeen dollars for a lifetime supply.

Not quite always true. I’ve had a dress or two that looked really weird on the model but I thought I’d try them anyway because I liked the pattern...

That’s a good tip. There’s a tiny EF outlet not terribly far away but even there the prices are a little steep. I’ve found that I need to pay extra attention to caring for the knits because the elegant drape can easily turn into plain ol’ baggy if I treat them poorly. 

May I also add: actual Eileen Fisher is very available in second-hand stores and sites. I have amassed a small, happy core of the real deal.  Feels like pyjamas, looks like luxury (maybe the same thing).

My mom still had rags from old cloth diapers hanging around well after we graduated from college. As I have no children, I bought some cheap cotton cloths in a big multipack that I abuse greatly. Unlike my cute kitchen towels with cat prints and the like, these are the ones I actually use to clean. They’re also good…

it’s unbeVIVAble!

In the late 1980s, I wore an above-the-knee demin skirt with a hot-pink turtleneck and suntan pantyhose!

The problem with rags is that I don’t use up washclothes that fast. My parents sometimes use washed but worn out underpants as rags, but that always feels like it would gross people out if they knew

I recently saw a denim midi in the Banana republic outlet and I went off on a tangent about my 90s corduroy skirt that had NO slit. I had to walk around school all day like a penguin. My husband wasn’t impressed with my demonstrative penguin walk all around the outlet store, but I was truly transported back in time.…

Do you know what cleans even better? A rag. I use old washcloths.

If it looks bad on the model it will not look good on us normal people
