That part made sense to me, because I’m sure the nanny did far more to raise Ivanka than either of her parents ever did. 

I feel like we only ever use the phrase “empty suit” to describe men, but it fits her perfectly. Ivanka just tells people what she thinks they want to hear in all situations. She has no convictions or actual beliefs, she just wants near power. 

Ivanka wishes she had a fraction of Villanelle’s charm and style. 

I mean, and sometimes sadness (grief) does lead to depression. After my dad died I spent about a year in total denial that anything was wrong with me, and when it caught up with me, it sent my life into a fucking spiral. I drank too much, slept all day, and made so many bad choices that finally my mom sat me down and…

This article reeks of gate-keeping. I guess because she’s conventionally attractive and married to a dude she’s not queer enough? Like what appears to be many people in the comments, this is kind of a sore spot for me.

I’m a little late to this, but writer and trans activist Parker Molloy had a really great and informative Twitter thread about this yesterday that details what transitioning means at different ages. I learned a lot from it, and I would encourage everyone to give it a read.

Her closing statement gave me a real Tennessee Williams monologue as performed by the cast of Designing Women vibe.

I don’t know anything about this movie, but the trailer reminds me of an episode of the Lore podcast called “Rope and Railing” about two men in a remote lighthouse. I was wondering if this would be based on that story, but I just looked it up and that story took place in Wales, so I guess not-- I still recommend it as…

My sister loves horror movies and is always disappointed when she’s not scared by the big new scary movie everyone’s talking about. Meanwhile I’m sitting in front of Jezebel trying not to pee my pants reading the scary story entries every year. 

I cannot understand why a candidate who is polling at virtually zero got so much time. Like, John Delaney is not going to be the Democratic candidate for president, full stop. So why are we wasting so much time on him?

The only Maryland case I know of where the divorce was granted before a full year of legal separation was where the husband had a whole lot of proof that his wife was cheating and she didn’t contest anything. They were divorced before what would have been their one year wedding anniversary!

I think I just learned right now that these are two different songs. 

And Sam Smith had to share credit with Tom Petty for Stay with Me/Won’t Back Down. 

Even the people I know in Western Maryland who love to talk shit about the rest of the state, are more likely to cheer for Pittsburgh sports teams than Baltimore, and probably voted due to “economic anxiety” in 2016 have been like “Wait a second, he can’t say that about MY state!”

I’ve stopped worrying about looking cute in a swimsuit the last few years and have embraced full coverage for comfort and sun protection. I’ve got a long sleeve zip-up rash guard that works great, and this year I started buying board shorts (and all my pieces have built-in SPF). I’m more comfortable and able to enjoy…

But then there’s a glowing profile (or whatever you call a profile that doesn’t actually interview the subject) of Leonardo DiCaprio out now that mentions in passing that he had a “no eye contact” rule on the set of the new Tarantino movie he’s in, and presents it as a fun quirk, rather than shitty diva behavior. So,…

There’s nothing douchier than a bar aggressively trying to be a dive. You know it sells PBR for like $12 a can. This place looks like the set of a Kid Rock video.

That’s the detail that stood out to me. He targeted vulnerable girls with precision.

Yeah, same. After my dad died, I threw myself into a handful of “relationships” (honestly, just a series of hookups that I read too much into) with crappy dudes because I was convinced that someone taking care of me in that way would magically fix my grief. (Spoiler alert: it did not, but it took me a semester off…
