Baby face here too- I feel the same way, and I *know* that my face is more on the cute side of things - round face, apple cheeks, small upturned nose, kind of big eyes. It honestly makes me feel immature, partially because I’ve always been assumed to be younger than I really am. It also annoys me when very beautiful…
bingo was my name-o
mhowa
On the reverse, my sister used to brag about her breasts were soo much bigger than mine (she’s a C-cup and I’m a B), it used to make me nuts. C cup is not big! She also used to make fun of me for weighing more than her (like 10 or 15 pounds, maybe) nevermind that I am four inches taller than her.
Sisters, man.
This is good to know (well, maybe, who knows if I’ll ever have kids). This is a myth that while I rationally recognize doesn’t really make sense, I definitely accepted it as truth because my mom, who is barely an A cup, explained that I was a formula baby because her breasts weren’t large enough to produce enough milk…
1. Last time I went for a dental check-up. My teeth are never in great shape, particularly after having some form of orthodontic appliance in my mouth from ages 13-present (closing in on 26). Anywho, went to the dentist and I had five cavities. FIVE. A few which were apparently the fault of my childhood dentist for…
UGH. I used to work at a tourist attraction with an observation deck that, of course, you had to pay to visit. Every now and then we would have a bunch of people come through doing scavenger hunts that required them to take a picture on the deck, none of whom had ever considered that they would likely still have to…
this gif is very soothing.

Someone on my newsfeed said that Canada is “sliding into socialism”. It was so stupid I couldn’t even muster up the energy to tell him to
This is the extent of my feelings on this topic, T.I..
ICYMI, The Daily Show that did a really spectacular segment showing the stark contrast in how the media treats emotional men versus emotional women in politics.

I read them... for science! I had a major hate-on for them based on pretty much everything I had read about the books. Eventually, however, I decided that I would be better justified if I had actually read them myself, so I borrowed my sister’s copies. The first one was stupid, and poorly written, but I could see why…
Incredibly frustrating...
Hey, Meryl. I’m a Young Feminist Woman. I too enjoy the company of men. Feminism has not ruined my relationships, and it has not alienated me from men. Sure, it has been instrumental in my Take No Shit approach when it comes to guys saying stupid sexist shit to me, but it also has allowed me…
Ugh, agreed. I’m glad that the hot yoga craze in my city has died out (quickly followed by barre and now Soul Cycle-style spin...) because I was getting real tired of people always clarifying that they do hot yoga and blabbering on to me about how superior it was to unheated yoga. No studio ever seems to provide a…
I’m exactly the kind of non-genius who wouldn’t even think to check the hotel alarm clock (since I just set mine on my phone) (also I never stay in hotels and when I do they’re not nice enough to have modern amenities like digital clocks) but with that being said, my exact response to reading her tweet was
This story reminded me stunningly of one of my own restaurant war stories:
We had a booking for about 24 people for a wedding rehearsal dinner. Reservation time rolls around, no one shows up. We wait for about 15 minutes, call the contact number. No response. We called twice more over the next hour... nothing. An hour…
OR how about the people who show up to a restaurant without a reservation, and when they are met with “I’m sorry, we’re fully booked for the next two hours” their response is, “But there are empty tables in the restaurant!”
I JUST SAID IT WAS BOOKED SDFlkjsdfkjsdf
It’s as though it here are not actual human beings in…
I hate insects but I do not have any stories like the ones here. Thankfully, I live in an area where insects of the large and terrifying variety are few and far between. However, I do have this neat photo of two grasshoppers getting it on (I’m assuming) in Guatemala that demonstrates some pretty neat sexual dimorphism:
Ooph.I remember when I was a kid my dad took me to a reptile show (IDK, from the ages of like 6-8 I was obsessed with reptiles and really wanted a pet snake) where there also happened to be a very elderly lady who had brought her tarantulas to show. She just had them chilling all over her grandmotherly cardigan. If…
Ohhh fuck no. I’d heard too many stories about bot flies and I’m always terrified of getting a bite when I go down there. I met one dude who got bitten by one in Panama or something and he fucking cut the larvae out with a knife. My goddamn nightmare.
