What an insult to silverback gorillas. Have you ever seen such a doughy ape?

Thank you. In 1989 a Rolling Stone interview would be one of the biggest non-televised platforms for Madonna to make that unambiguous statement. She can’t help it that the Internet wasn’t around to duplicate and share her words in thousands of content units.

What’s the converse of victim-blaming...non-victim-blaming?

I know that taking men’s names by default is sexist patriarchy because the moment I met a man who did it for another man my snap reaction was “ew, how emasculating to be the name sub.” My next thought (about why it made me uncomfortable) was “It’s as if he’s the woman...” and then I felt unclean.

Long sleeves with shorts is my UNIFORM at the beginning of spring and the end of summer. I’m a tall slender gay dude. My legs are my best asset and they go all the way down to the ground, even if I don’t have muscle definition to show off on top.

I love that the muffins (cupcakes?) she presumably baked herself are TERRIBLY uneven in size and color. Mary Berry would not be impressed because they do not look at all tempting or inviting.
