What started out as a joke about how I’m able to conjure up righteous indignation about almost anything became a lot less lighthearted after the election. :/

Now playing

I hope you feel better soon! That cat does bear a striking resemblance to Salem but it’s actually from one of my all time favorite commercials. Enjoy!

Obviously Bobby Zarin was the gold standard of good househusbands. Besides him the list is definitely pretty small....

Schools will often voluntarily look into conduct in those places for the purposes of Title IX enforcement because that’s where most TIX issues tend to happen, the effects can trickle onto campuses and there may be a threat to the health or safety of other students.

That was Simon Van Kempen. Simon Barney was Tamra from OC’s husband until they had they uncomfortable limo ride where they ended their marriage. Verrrry different Simons.

The list really is endless...

I liked him at the time, but go back and watch old seasons with him. He is insanely controlling and lashes out at Tamra all the time. She’s a monster, but they dynamics in their relationship were super unhealthy and (not to parrot the storyline from this week’s episode) potentially indicate abuse. 

Seriously. Simon Barney, Slade Smiley (even if he was never actually married to Jo or Gretchen), fucking Josh whathisname from RHONY, Jason fucking Hoppy, the new balding guy on RHOC, Russell Armstrong (even if Taylor was totally in on the conning, he still definitely beat her). This is 30 seconds of brainstorming!

Which means that even schools that are taking Title IX seriously will see a precipitous drop in the number of reports they can do anything about and these programs will be defunded. 

Ugh I always disliked Wuthering Heights because of the Heathcliff as a romantic ideal situation. I honestly did not understand how any modern reader would look at him and not see him as a massive creep and got really confused when I saw film adaptations.

I saw this on Twitter and it made my lol so much.

This will be disastrous for survivors and for the future of Title IX enforcement. For sooo many reasons. As I was reading the NYT I was shocked by nearly every other paragraph. The fact that Title IX now only covers conduct that happens on campus is a disaster. Oh you were at a student’s off-campus housing, at the bar

Hey that champagne cork could knock someone’s eye out! VIOLENCE!

Get it girl!

Do your suggestions (especially re: sulfates and cowashing) apply for genetic hair loss too? I haven’t started minoxidil yet - I’m terrified of the emotional fall out that will happen when I see all my “gains” fall out as soon as I forget to bring it with me when I travel. I’m only 29 but it already feels noticeable

No Lauren=No. And While Kristen is awful and Whitney is pleasantly bland, they have at least been the central figure in these shows before. None of the rest of these crazies have. 

It’s so infuriating. How on earth could the government/law enforcement NOT have learned from the failure to communicate and effectively plan last year?? Figure out what you did last year and then JUST DONT DO IT AGAIN. 

I get to but it seems to be a business by business/office by office decision. A little guidance from the government/law enforcement would be nice. 

Aaanddd my department is now closing today, like now. Seems like there may be something happening tonight too, but again, zero information.
