I was going to say the same thing about Shrooms...

She seems nice, but she was a major source of inspiration back in my anorexia days (remember “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels”? That was my mantra) so I do have a bit of distate for her.

I’m not sure about everywhere. I live in a fashion-forward city and I’ve never heard of her. In fact, the last time I went to Target I didn’t even notice if they were carrying the line; if it weren’t for Jezebel I wouldn’t know about it at all. Definitely won’t be buying any of it now.

Personally, I think the whole “manly” thing is kind of homoerotic - it’s clearly aimed towards other men, not women. I mean, I’d take a man who can sip brandy with me and chat about literature over a man who can work on a car. Luckily, I hit the cosmic jackpot (the one time in my life I’ve ever been lucky) and found a…

You want to know how Jesus feels about Josh Duggar? Here’s how Jesus felt about child molesters:

Two major problems I have with the embryo thing (other than the obvious):

It’s OTC in other countries and I haven’t heard about any significant problems.

I would go a step further and confidently say it’s detrimental to any kid...

Bullshit. 14 is plenty old to know you shouldn’t molest your siblings.

I think that molestation happens a lot more often than we think, it’s just kept real quiet. It doesn’t surprise me at all that out of a dozen or so tv families there’s some molestation hiding in there somewhere.

Not really. I mean, sex offenses are never really excusable, but if you see your mom treated as nothing but a baby incubator your whole life...

If you have one available nearby, check out Forever 21’s plus line. It starts at XL so there’s no awkward “gap” between straight and plus sizes and their plus size clothes are super cute and they have a lot of professional stuff that’s not frumpy too.

Haha. Nope. Couldn’t wear them even when I was thin, can’t wear them now. I don’t know why clothing manufacturers insist of making stuff that’s unflattering on 99.9% of the population. Even if you can squeeze into some of these, they’re just going to stretch out after a wear or two and then you’ll be hiking up your…

Haha I’m glad I’m not the only one who insults my cats for not financially contributing :-) When they yell at me for treats (they always have food available, but that’s not good enough for my spoiled babies) I always say, “You guys need to start pulling your own weight around here!” Yup, crazy cat lady - I know.

Yeah it’s crazy how normal very abnormal things become!

You need to find what’s right for you. Not slipping back into disordered eating is way more important than losing weight!

I think it will. Cis people, in my experience, aren’t so supportive of those who are transitioning or have transitioned because they just don’t “get it.” Not particularly proud of it, but after my very sheltered and religious upbringing, it took me getting to know a transwoman to “get it.” If millions of people can…

Myfitnesspal is the only thing in years that has actually helped me lose weight. I tried regular calorie-counting, Atkins, Weight Watchers, South Beach, you name it. But I do occasionally find that I have to take a “day off” from it every now and then so that I don’t get too obsessive. I like that it yells at me if I…

I’m happy to hear that about Matthew Lillard! I’ve had a crush on him for forever :-)

I have no fun celebrity stories because nothing terribly exciting ever really happens to me but I know others who have met Johnny Depp and they said he was very pleasant.
