Not to mention: men generally have to cut their hair way more often than women, but we are so used to thinking that what men do is practical, and what women do is just high maintenance extras, that we just assume that what men do is easier. But long is generally how the hair naturally grows out of your head (both men…

Fashion is about selling product. It is also an art form and a part of culture. When a group of people, such as women, are consistently denied access to the upper echelons of the larger culture, they often develop their own culture. A part of that culture for women has historically been communicating with each other…

Panty lines are why I wear granny panties. I find that in high-waisted skirts, FULL coverage (capitalized because they are giant fucking panties) gives me a much smoother line. For me, thongs are for laundry day.

“Besides sales, the “feminist underwear” has inspired countless Instagram “belfies” (that’s a selfie for the behind) from Me and You customers eager to show off their feminist convictions as well as their pert posteriors.”

I just desperately want to know exactly what took place to induce someone at The Cut to post this picture in what was almost certainly meant to be a flattering little “behind-the-scenes look at one of the most successful lifestyle brands to date.” Was this a joke on the part of the photographer that made it into the…

I think it’s earrings.

Yeah, here in SoCal, I never heard of this until the Target thing. And my only friends who were aware of it before that live in Charleston.

“The trade-off is that being thin is a part-time job. Normal human meals are counter-acted with skipping others and I feel a bizarre sense of guilt for drinking my accidentally-made full-fat milk and coffee instead of just black coffee. There’s also foods I haven’t eaten in years. It occupies a tremendous amount of…

It’s a socio-economic class marker. For most people, it is expensive to be that thin, and it is even harder to be that thin if you were not raised to be thin, so it gives people an idea of not just where you are at economically, but where you’re parents were at. It is a luxury to be so sure of your next meal that you…

“an alliterative, culturally inaccurate demon-summoning ritual”

My guess is that dad and his new SO were invited to the intended recipient’s wedding, and dad cheated on mom with the SO, and that’s why they split up. One of the recipients’s aunts is, I imagine, sending the text.

You could be surprised. My husband and I both cry really easily, but we did not cry at all at our wedding. I have been known to cry over commercials, and my husband cries over every birthday gift I give him.

No, neither of us cried, and now that I think of it, it’s kind of surprising, because we both cry really easily.

“There are also many people that argue that George R.R. Martin is only showing us what history was really like.”

We have to lock our dumpsters, because wackos like to write in to the local paper about their concern that the library is throwing away books. They are pretty sure that we need a book from 1987 about how to use WordPerfect.

I just always tell people that my job is like a cross between The Mummy, and The Librarians.

Yep. I also find that a large number of people feel compelled to tell me, upon hearing what I do, that there’s no need for libraries anymore. Even if that were true, it would be an oddly rude thing to say to someone you just met. How is it for other people? Are there other job where people just can’t stop themselves…

Commercial isn’t a bar to fair use, but the purpose of the use (commercial, educational, etc) is one of the four main factors considered by courts when they decide fair use. And in general, copyright protection vests automatically with the creator of an original work that is fixed in a tangible medium, so when you…

I would love to hear the argument for how this qualifies as fair use. It’s not transformative, it’s commercial, it uses the entirety of the original photo, and the work being copied is creative in nature.

It is infringement, but someone would have to sue for him to get in trouble.
