not to put too fine a point on it, but when the beauty pageant contestants and the comedians are the ones calling out the racist and inflammatory rhetoric of our president and not, oh I dunno, OTHER GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS, then there seems to be something deeply amiss with our country

Well they made sure this one was a half-black American divorcee this time, to minimize risk of fascism.

“Her ‘complex background’ meaning that she is American and a divorcee.”

Teen Mom is the absolute epitome of white trash TV, i cant find anything redeeming about this show. Its Sunday so I’m so am sure the show anything but music channel is in the middle of a marathon of these.

Gentle Correction, but the Dames were in “A Room With A View” along with Julian Sands, Helena Bonham-Carter, Denholm Elliot, Simon Callow and other fine actors. If you have not seen this Merchant Ivory Production I demand you rent it IMMEDIATELY!!!

...And they both play sisters in Ladies in Lavender.

And also the first one.

Judi drench and Maggie smith both were in Second Best Marigold Hotel. I’m not making this up?

He’s an outstanding alcoholic.

It’s not even not understanding. People that think like that believe poor people just aren’t trying hard enough. They think fat people have no self control. Its infuriating.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from a lifetime of being the working poor, it’s that people who have never been there can never understand, really, what that is like. They love to hand out countless situationally inappropriate/completely useless suggestions, though! Must be nice.

They’re poor. Do you understand poor? Do you understand having $0 in your bank account?

Why don’t we use FEMA money chartering busses to get people out? Businesses don’t need to be open. Close then down by government order, bus people out. It’ll reduce traffic as well. I’m so disgusted that people aren’t biased out.

I live in Tennessee so some people who can evacuate are heading into this area. I saw a local hotel offering a special rate for evacuees. It was still $100 a night at the fucking Holiday Inn that will surely have a lot of unsold rooms at any rate. Like how TF can people afford that? Some of my friends who wanted to

A lot of poor people (who are usually black or brown) live in areas called food deserts, where most stores are convenience stores or little markets with few healthy options. When you can get a burger and fries for $3 but a salad is $7, it’s obvious they’ll go for the burger meal. Crap is cheap and healthy food not so

I am always pissed off when people are all “Why didn’t they just leave?” Well, let me tell you as someone who could have been in that position. Where are you going to go? You don’t have a car...you rely on public transportation...whoops..that’s stopped running. Maybe you have relatives that can come get you, but

It’s almost like this would be a job for the US Military but hey, guess you got to fill your bizarre urge for slave labour somehow.

I’m legitimately in love with this and am putting it in a book. It will be the beauty product my main character uses and if you two ever run across it you will know why. It’s literally too genius not to gently lift.

Oooh, Stark & Real! Have you tried their toner?!?!

I bathe in the world of the stark and the real everyday. It really keeps your pores clear.
