the new BR or the old BR?

Hate the shape, think the ruffle looks stupid and dischordant, think the color looks like a bowel movement. I, too, wouldn’t take it for free.

Thank you for pointing out that it’s polyester. I feel like places that used to sell decent fabrics are slipping in more and more shitty manmade fibers without altering the price point, and I feel like I’ve become my mom when I notice and am offended.

Not even if it was free.

every guy’s apartment i’ve been to, there have been no trash cans in the bathrooms. thank you for having tampons and i guess i’ll just put the trash in my bag.

There are actually machines that you can wear that simulate cramping and nausea.

And you people say the Midwest is unlivable.
