I had a pale green one like this, more spaghetti straps... And the rest of your outfit! Prom 02! ;)

Idk, my silk and bamboo parasol I ordered from Shanghai is pretty sweet. The paper one is great too.

I see what you did there.

I like to wear big sweeping Scarlett Ohara/Out Of Africa hats. Doesn’t have to be dorky... I’ve seen them here at Forever 21, and on girls who shop there, really very sexy...

It just gives me nasty cystic acne, whether it’s an allergy or blocked pores idk but I do know it’s every friggin brand and nothing I do makes it not happen. So I cover up/go out mostly in the morning/late afternoon. Mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the noonday sun....

I live near the Gold Coast, Australia. Really, the kids are beginning to go for untanned skin here. If you could see the 40- somethings who look twice their age after a lifetime of sun worshipping, you’d want to protect your skin, too...There’s also been a big push in recent years to educate people about sun cancer.…

.....because we are the invasive non-native species, I guess.

I carry a sun umbrella. And usually wear a hat and shades. Not sorry, no shame. Sunscreen makes my face break out and the here UV in Australia is crazy pants. The glare alone gives me migraines...

I'll never forget seeing unwrapped mummies in glass cases for the first time at the British Museum... In glass cases with crowds leaning in close. It felt so gross. Disrespectful... But then I realized mummification was to ensure immortality, and in a way they were achieving that by being whole (ish) and seen by…

No Drs ever ever thought I was bipolar, just my asshole family... :-/ After I “discovered” female asd but before I was diagnosed, I went to a local Aspergers group (Aspergers is now autism 1 but ppl still use the old term a lot). I wasn’t sure what to expect but I figured I should be brave and just go see. And the…

She sounds like a good one. I'm glad they're out there.

Oh god that's awful on so many levels. How truly horrible, that does a huge disservice to the child and also the autistic community. :-(

I am a white personal with very pale skin (generally translucent, no freckles...) and use a Japanese skin “lightening” soap for that reason. A friend in Tokyo recommended it... It sorta polishes me up and fades out acne scars very quickly. It’s a nice one, nothing scary or nasty in it.

Yeah, what can we do about those bleach enemas? It's so beyond the pale. I know my asshole mother would have done it to me as a kid if it had occurred to her. Those poor, poor kids. I have a fantasy of building an autistic sort of Hogwarts for those kids, rescue them and give them proper training and guidance for who…

I had pretty classic boy-autism issues when I was a little girl. I was also exceptionally ahead of my peers academically. No one ever ever thought autism for me because 1- the perception that girls don’t get autism and 2- I can speak quite glibly most of the time. My sensory problems and other issues were mostly…

Yes, that’s an option too... Not interested in happy endings, myself, it would ring false in this deeply unhappy GoT universe.

I like the way you think... Something random and faintly ludicrous... Though that might carry the scent of “divine vengeance” and GOT seems to avoid such whiffs....

The book people don’t know anymore. The show has had to go completely off book for this season. Very interesting shift.

No one wants to work for shitty management. It's adorable you think most people have a choice.

You obviously have never had a low level hospitality job. The nastiness can not go back up the chain, or you will not have a job. Ffs.
