This reply won’t entirely fit in with the general theme, but I think my point is an important one to make. I hated my public high school. Hated absolutely every minute I spent there. We had huge class sizes, a prison-like discipline system, and teachers who openly resented me for being a nerdy kid and crippled my…

After the march organisers EXPLICITLY excluded HRC from the march and their list of ‘inspiring women’. But it’s also her fault for not going.

It’s telling that you don’t think her quote is relevant for women’s ability to get healthcare, put food on the table, get jobs, and think about the future. Abortion is healthcare. Equal pay and maternity policies will reinvent the jobs market. Get your head out of your ass.

I’m not even sure what this means? Like...it’s a big place, there are people of all classes there? I can understand describing somewhere like Surrey as middle-class, but Bristol??

The sunglasses tip is odd, we wear them in London! It’s just always raining.

Also, if you’re on the tube at a busy time, talk in indoor voices. The hushed, exhausted commute is a sacred time, and anyone breaking the peace gets glares.

Late reply, but use the Citymapper app to get around both cities to avoid pulling out maps. Makes you look local and less likely to attract pickpockets!

This is so petty and genius! Might do the same.

I’d take adenoids over Trump’s BFF May or Bernie-but-less-electable Corbyn any day!

Oh poor Ed, he should’ve become our PM in 2015, but he was always just a bit dorky to convince voters. Him being a half-joking half-for-real sex symbol was a big thing here in 2015, though, I think Buzzfeed and the like did a bunch of articles on it.

The family court wouldn’t allow them to divorce? That sounds really strange and unlikely; who did you get that info from?

I am a girl with 5 different blue lipsticks, so MAYBE not the first person to ask, but: I genuinely feel like lipsticks are an area where anyone can basically get away with any colour. My current obsessions are all dusky terracotta/pink/rust colours, like Kat Von D’s Lolita II. Natural enough to look pretty, but just…

Born this Way is really, really good. It feels quite gel-like/watery so it sits and blends EXTREMELY naturally, but it’s really high-coverage too.

I don’t think it’s a ‘thing’, I think Rose was supposed to be a working class and a bit rough (‘chavvy’), and that’s the style.

1) I am beaming with delight at having a new beauty column.

I mean, I think the show is pretty happy to be hammy and ridiculous, no? It was never trying to be realistic or serious! I love how silly it is and I think the acting is perfect.

It’s not even like they’re THAT blonde! I have hair much closer to platinum (from dark brown) and it looks...like actual hair. I think this is more the damage associated with daily blow-outs, curling/flat irons, teasing, and hairspray.

That’s all nonsense. Grabbing a hand is not spanking. A kid hitting their own head on a door is not spanking. Your trolley problem sucks, man.

ALSO what an absolutely excellent way to teach your kids that their bodily autonomy means fuck all if they act wrong and ‘deserve it’. Some people will say that’s a massive stretch, but I’ve seen loads of comments on here about how you shouldn’t force kids to hug Grandma if they don’t want to. If they get to decide…

It’s child abuse. Dogs are supposed to be simple creatures that respond to fear and hunger, but most of us would NEVER spank a dog, right? Why is it okay to hit a child? Because it won’t bite back? If you can’t get your point across without physical violence, you’re a shit parent. Use your words. If emotions are…
