I hope it works out that way for your kids but I had the most loving, sentimental and physically affectionate parents and am still not a fan of hugging anyone aside from close relatives and wonder why so many people think this is a normal part of greeting others. Handshakes and verbal greetings were developped for…

Wait, they can’t just sign another release?

Thank you for your kind and measured response, I appreciate it :) I definitely agree that a lot of this “work” has become a class marker—the point for some women is to look like you’ve had work done so that everyone knows you can afford the work—and the dermatologists who persuade women under 40 to get “preventative”…

Ah, sorry, going back I see how I misread. As a woman past 50, I think the cultural obsession with youth is ridiculous and harmful. We’ve created a false aesthetic with all these interventions. I don’t think women my age who do lots of treatments necessarily look younger or better — they just look like they’ve had…

IDK what is says about me that I am able to just kind of pretend the stupid face tattoos aren’t there. (Boys! Stop tattooing your beautiful faces! Like, are you sure you don’t have some butt real estate you could use instead?!)

I don’t feel that bad about criticising the individual for not having the awareness to see why this self-inflicted torture/inconvenience/expense is patriarchy-imposed bullshit.

There’s always value to these kinds of discussions, even if it’s only to spur further discussion. Like we’re doing right now.

Seems a bit silly to reduce the entire conversation to four sentences.

Very often a big nose looks perfectly appropriate for it’s possessor’s face ... it’s like if the nose gets whittled down, all of the face’s proportions are suddenly off. Ain’t nothing wrong with a classic big nose, and it’s kind of weird when you see someone and sense that, based on their beautiful bone structure,…

Injections seem so awful. Painful and risky.

I just moved half way across the country with just my dogs to start a new job. My best friend just sent me a package that consisted of a wine glass and a 4-pack of Lila French Rosé that comes in a can. Surprisingly good! And such a good friend!

Have you considered burning your house down and moving to Ireland BECAUSE I WOULD

Man, that sucks. Now you have to leave your house and start your life over with nothing. It all belongs to the snake now.

WHAT DID YOU DO, is thisNORMAL where you live?!

I mean I love snakes but fuck no to that shit

Hey, if I make it anywhere close to 40 I feel like a champ. Dozens of people liked what I had to say. Dozens!!!

How did you get out of the grays? Teach me your ways!!!

I got out of the grays on Wednesday and wrote it down in my old lady datebook (real pen, real paper) as “UNGRAYED TODAY!!!” I only write historic things in there: births, deaths, first lightening bug sighting each year, shitty election results, Cubs World Series wins, etc., so I am totally pathetic (pathetic and…

Dude I got like 11 earlier and felt loved

My take was that Beyonce used “Becky” as a way to explore the way black women are made to feel less desirable than white women by our culture rather than call out a specific woman. I thought the entire album was about the power and value of black women, personally and politically, shown through the lens of a tabloid…

Um, I think “Becky” is a representation of all the women he’s cheated with, not just one.
