Tuches might be the best word of all time, in context or out.

Ha, no I hear you. I recently made friends with some people who are Persian Jews and they've been teaching me all kinds of new words. It feels a bit strange for me to use them, as if I'm doing something wrong in some way.

I like a little word called "chutzpah", me-self.

Yes, I figured this was the GOAL.

Misogyny, stupidity aside....

Well thank goodness for that! Because without it, someone would be claiming basement kombucha for Britain.

I didn't take your comment as literally as some have, but I will say this:

But but but....if you're Native American you CAN'T POSSIBLY BE WHITE. And if you identify as having white skin, then you're just not comfortable with your heritage.

Yes. But do you have a FLAG?

I think it must depend on where you shop. I've been an hourglass since I developed (early, around 10 years old) and it's been a pain to find clothes ever since. And I worked in the fashion industry for many years! It's just not a shape most people design for.

Ugh, I can't tell you how much I agree with this. When I find something that actually looks good (usually has to be an off the rack garment that has been tailored) I love my hourglass shape. But my god, it's a pain in the ass to dress otherwise.

Agreed. And I find this both disheartening and reassuring in equal measure.

I agree completely with what you've said. All of it!

Oh, I agree with you completely. I just am really confused about the original comment invoking the hoax possibility while essentially saying what you said, as well. Which I think it spot on.

I don't understand your point, I guess since this just comes off as deflection.

"Or how can we believe them enough to care?"

I can't be sure, but I think some kind of portal to another universe opened up earlier when the article about Levine not sleeping with Lohan was posted.

But then....how would we "humanize" them?

True, true. But think of how fun the anticipation of a few false starts might be.

Excellent presentation you put together!
