I don’t know, I feel like this can kind of perpetuate the idea that weight is just calories in, calories out. But a lot of it is genetic. I’m very small, and probably always will be. I’ve never thought about what I eat, and I still weigh less than most people my height. I do nothing virtuous, and yet, I’m still thin.…

Different strokes, I guess. Being a cheerleader has always, since I was a very tiny girl child, been akin to a living nightmare to me. One step up(?) from beauty pageant contestant.

Was that the exclusively high protein one she followed one summer and came back with a red wagon full of fat to show how much weight she lost ?

For actresses there’s the added burden of being in a very competitive field but needing to appear as though you’re just the girl next door.

Well, thirty years ago is right around the time shows like Oprah started discussing anorexia. It must have occurred to models and their publicists that even if they weren’t really anorexic, the diet necessary to keep an unnaturally low weight sounded the same as the one people with eating disorders imposed on…

I like this song. And I like the version with Beyoncé even better.

Compare and contrast with the Maltese Neolithic temple Ggantija, which is shaped like a bounteous babely mother goddess. Or buttefly - you choose. The shape gives it weird, spooky acoustics and it’s also noticeably cooler than outside (even with no roof), which are all great atmospheric additions to the whole ritual…

“Stonehenge, what a great waste of money that was. TWO THOUSAND YEARS IT’S BEEN THERE! Still doesn’t fly.”

I just can’t with this nonsense. Ancient peoples were for the most part far more comforatble with metaphor and allusion than we are. They didn’t need dicks everywhere to think about fertility. (Although sometimes they did.)

I don’t get the hatred towards Ed Sheeran. Fine, if you don’t like his music, but at least he writes and performs his own music and he’s not obnoxious like some artists I could mention. Let him trundle along in his qentle gingerness.

Every male archaeologist wants is to be about dicks.

This is NSFW, only because my team wants to know “What’s so funny over there?”

Do I make a stoned pun or a dick joke? Stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Alternatively it’s a sun calendar, aligned with the solstices, like we see at so many places around the world.

“poking holes in the dirt with sticks and fucking them”

It’s all about sex (and dicks, and procreation, and also dicks) right now. Why does anyone think the Bronze Age would have been any different?

I don’t know any Baby Boomer women who clutched pearls at women wearing pussy hats. I am one of the Baby Boomer women who wore a hat last year, and will again this year on Jan. 20th. All of my baby boomer women were in complete solidarity with all the millions of women who marched last year. Of course, I don’t live in…

we had to fight for the right to wear pants to school, nevermind healthcare,

They’re young. They don’t know we had to fight for the right to wear pants to school, nevermind healthcare, equal pay, the ability to have a credit card in one’s own name, take out a loan in one’s own name. The young women of today are ignorant of the battles fought by the young women of yesterday.

My understanding is she turned down the job a left. No one batted an eye.
