Anyone else think she was a total condescending beeyotch to Savannah Guthrie on Today this morning? Telling her to ‘settle down’.

Thank you.

Our primary and local election are today, I’m in Tennessee so red AF. I canvassed with the DSA for a county commissioner race earlier this summer and the group canvassed a ton over the last few weeks. We just got the early voting numbers and turn out was up 30% in our district compared to less than 5% for the county…

“To say such ugly words about a mother, wife, and our First Lady woman...”

We’re around the same age, then. For me—and i def should’ve made this clearer—the big difference is that internet didn’t feel like “real life” at the time. Yeah, social media was starting and the internet was becoming more fundamental but it still felt like a separate thing from my day-to-day life.

We are rapidly moving into hyperrealism and Baudrillard’s nightmare predictions concerning the simulacra, where the symbol becomes more desirable than the object it represents. This trend will only accelerate as technology continues to advance, driven in part by this fetishization of the hyperreal - i.e. it’s…

Social media really has gotten more people into “constructing” these images of themselves and their lives. I know people, regular people not models or actors, who get their social media pics photoshopped to look thinner and tanner. I remember talking to a friend who complained that she felt like a fraud because she…

Ooh that’s hard. Because it was a tough question, I gave it a good bit of thought. Here are my general rankings, from highest fashion to lowest. Because why not.

I think the thing isn’t so much whether it’s possible to be instantly in love; the question is whether you’re suited to a life with the person. There are a lot of people who are desperately in love with each other and just can’t make it work, and the sorts of issues they have don’t always come out in a week, or a…

Priyanka and Nick remind me of Cece and Schmidt on New Girl. 

So which is worse: Fantasy Dragon shirts, or Wolf Howling at Moon shirts?

irony the opposite of wrinkly...lol

My husband has two favorite shirts. One says “Casual Friday” which he wears almost every Friday. The other says “Irony, the opposit of wrinkly.” He’s a 38 year old dad of six... these shirts are his life.

Your daily reminder that the United States does NOT have a justice system. We have a legal system. And it is callous as fuck. It continues to trample on the dignity of people everywhere. Especially women and minorities.

Au Fudge sounds like the name of a business that could have been glimpsed in the background of a Simpsons episode for five seconds in the early seasons and took the writers all night to think of (I’ve watched a lot of early Simpsons DVDs with writer commentary).

I feel like I’ve seen a lot of activewear bottoms feature crotch areas that are extra breathable and I sometimes wonder if they’re meant to be worn without underwear on???

Would watch this short film.

Listen, I’m with you and that sounds like an amazing tradition, but I think the message is that people need to be more sensitive and responsible about fireworks. I’m of the mind that if people express a reasonable discomfort and it doesn’t hurt anyone else to abide by it, you should respect that discomfort. Don’t set…
