I am a voracious reader and I love a color-coded bookshelf. I’m a visual person and I remember the covers of books even faster than an author’s name. They’re much easier to find when they’re ordered by color. People who look down on this method are not only snobs, but they’re lazy snobs, not taking a moment to reflect…

It’s not a trick, nursing bras have a snap that’s designed to use with one hand, and as a mother of two, she knows to pick clothes that are easy to nurse in. If you nurse on demand, you do that a billion times a day and can do it in a blink

There’s another more current thread with a lot of people from the area who agree and know this is a thing.

My collection of organic cold-pressed oils is beginning to rival my collection of 80s compilation CDs.

Jesus, this sounds like my story. At 46, I’ve also begun to unpack my sexual history and what I thought was consensual at 14 (losing my virginity to my friend’s 28 year old brother after doing cocaine one evening) was not. I was a child. It’s confusing and I’m interested to see how this film handles it.

Yes. I think the resonance of the story is that what happens is not rape, it’s technically consensual, but it is nonetheless UNWANTED sex. It has to do with the very real, oppressive mystery of why women often don’t feel free to refuse sex or otherwise say “no” to men. It has to do with the frustration that some men…

I did relate to it— it clearly reminded me of a date I had in my early 20s with an older (early thirties?) man who seemed cool, but totally turned on me and started snarling that I was a fucking tease when I declined “a drink” at his place after dinner— but that’s beside the point for me.

I want to have this post etched in stone, then bronzed, then gilded.

‘Masturbation by boys isn’t normalized in our society either’

lol at “just reverse the genders.” is this the only piece of literature you’ve read? because there are countless short stories and novels told from a man’s perspective as he navigates some sort of relationship with a younger women, as often as not objectifying/infantalizing/abusing her along the way. jesus christ…

Man, if that’s all you got out of the story, I definitely don’t think your reading comprehension skills are really up to scratch. It wasn’t my favorite short story of all time, but I thought it was a very good dissection of the ways in which confusing power dynamics between men and women interact, and the way in…

Let’s just talk logistics: there is zero way a teenager with a box of Nice & Easy dye could go from blue to blonde, especially with fresh blue dye. Zero. Zip. Not happening. Anyone who has ever dyed their hair ever would know this.

Oh, we’re just going to pretend House of Deréon didn’t happen? ;)

I love it... reminds me of some early 2000's LeTigre.
