When I first read that tweet, I understood it as, talking to him while the Shaggy song was on during a stoppage in play. (I don’t know why my brain is like this.)

Pretty sure Scarlett O’Hara’s Italian neighbours were considered white. If Gone with the Wind considered them white, I’m pretty sure 1962 white people would have as well.

Do we believe she’s really the author? That this memo wasn’t edited and massaged after it left her hands?

I always think of Courtney Love in discussions of this nature. 

My non-pregnancy clothes started to ride up, as I grew - I started to show a lot more skin in (what used to be) modest outfits. My skirts got like 3" shorter, my belly would peek out, and/or my new boobs were suddenly busting out. One memorable time, it was all 3. And I often only noticed when I was already at work,…

She’s a GD hero, keeping her cool like that. I’m feeling panicky just thinking about experiencing this. Please update if she is charged: I’d donate to her defense fund.

“I notice that men are afraid of women that are aggressive. So to protect myself I become semi-aggressive,” Haddish said. “You hear about, ‘Tiffany always hitting on somebody,’ but that’s to keep them from hitting on me.”

Oooh that’s a great approach! My 8YO is on prednisone, and on the heavy side. We DO NOT talk about weight at home, but she’s starting to hear about it from little assholes at school. So to innoculate against future assholes, I’m trying to make chubby a neutral thing, like being freckly or brown-haired, just another…

Oh yessss. I once played in a super low-stakes co-ed intramural soccer league. There was a minimum number of female players required; our captain decreed that we could only sub out other women. There were games where I played one shift out of three (we played shifts like in hockey) while the men played like, 75% of…

Hugs.

We may not say “not all elephants” or “not all snakes,” but I have definitely heard “not all pitbulls.” We do love our dogs.

HA! Yes! My grandpa was a Brit, and we his (Canadian) descendants say bugger and bloody, in our own NA accents. We use them as curse word replacements, rather than actual bad words, which is... probably bad.

For a second there, I thought they were calling him a literal pool chair.

Sorry to pick on this but it’s driving me crazy. If June was a chicken, she was female. Male chickens = roosters.

I used to just chirp “coming right up” and then walk away.

GASSSSP. What if Kanye is cozying up to DJT on purpose, to advance Kim’s goals?

I really want this to be true! My 8YO daughter rides once a week. Her usual pony is a sweet boy who lowers his head down to her tiny height, while she buckles the bridle. I feel like he’s lowering his head in purpose to help her, because he likes and trusts her. And then I feel like a nutcase for thinking that.

I wonder if the housekeeper may not have been exactly “willing.” Maybe she had to choose between being exploited by a capricious and volatile employer, or losing her job and maybe getting blacklisted.

“Rodents of unusual size? I don’t think they exist.”

I got so enraged reading that! But quickly switched to vicarious triumph when she said, “oh no, not the whole show, just you.”
