I can’t for the life of me remember where it came from (a teen magazine? the puberty book my mom got me?), but I’ve read that best time to shave is after the hair’s had time to soften up, but before you’ve been in there too too long, or the skin gets wrinkled/plump and you can’t get as close. Of course legs are a…

It can still splash on you, though. My shower is notoriously volatile, it’s safest to start with the tub faucet while standing outside, and then switch to the shower head before jumping in.

Softballs are the reason I never got super into projectile-based sports. It’s hard to throw yourself into the game when you’re trying to avoid any and all dangerous contact with the thing you need to score with.

Eh, arguably the first major event to happen at Hogwarts is the troll on Halloween. Plus they make a point of making Hogwarts all spooky and cobweb-y with the ghosts and child-strangling vines and all that, and witches have always been Halloween-y. It’s a stretch, but I can see it.

Honestly, I think it’d be great. #metoo is a tally, if you’re part of the tally you get to speak up. And if nothing else, men like Terry Crews coming forward shows how it’s a power play, how broad the victim base is, etc. It helps women by validating what we’ve been saying about sexual assault all along, it helps men…

Ah well, he’s usually all right. Good luck with yours!

I feel like there’s a point where you just have to make a trip to those crazy terrifying haunted houses.

Oh, we’ve told him. I have sat there, perfectly calm while he yells, told him “you’re the one who’s getting upset,” had both parents corroborate, and still not broken through. The phone might not be a bad idea, though.

The weird part is that I don’t mind, but I’m not sure if I don’t mind because I’ve been taught not to mind or if I really don’t mind.

When my brother and I fight, there is a 95% chance that he’ll tell me to stop being “irrational” or “hysterical” at some point, and a 75% chance that he’s more visibly upset than me when he says it.

This story has no buildup or resolution, but it’s all I’ve got.

I was genuinely amazed to learn that as of the first season of Riverdale he was, technically, still a teenager.

They both went went to college, which seems to be one of the more reliable ways for child stars to maintain sanity.

Eh, I get the feeling that a lot of the rambling is him joking around. The tumblr thing was clearly trolling on some level, ditto the pictures of the people taking pictures of him.

Australian Rules Football. I want speckies, dammit.

This was my dad’s primary technique with us and it worked spectacularly well.

Eh, my dad’ll bring out the family ice cube bin (aka. a tupperware thing w/ one or two trays’ worth of ice) and pass it around at big holiday meals. It’s handy if you don’t have an ice machine in the fridge door.

This this this this this. This above all others is the argument that makes me pro-choice, from a medical ethics standpoint. If you can’t force someone to donate their kidney, you sure as hell can’t force them to lease their uterus. Donating blood is nice and good, sure, but we don’t fucking mandate it.

Also a lot of the less serious harassment isn’t... super easy to pin down? It’s when you wear a shirt that’s more low cut than you realized, and suddenly there are a lot of men standing uncomfortably close and glancing downwards during conversations. You can tell something’s off and that it’s part of a pattern, but…

A lot of times women brush shit off because we’re supposed to just “get along with it,” especially after the minor stuff. Plus people don’t want to think it’s happened to them, you know? People compartmentalize.
