My freshman year of college, I attended a small women-only liberal arts college in Virginia (it’s gone co-ed in the last few years, but at this point it wasn’t). I’m from California and was a little worried about being alone on my own so far from home, so I requested a room in the dorms’ No Man Hallway. The other…

Ok, here goes. Writing this out makes me want to barf. 

So I moved around a lot when I grew up, but there was one house in particular that was very very much haunted.  

Reposting my tale of my almost-murder from last year.

Ok, first time commenting, so I’m sure I’ll be buried in the grays.... but, here goes.

Let this be the first and only joke of its kind.

Do you remember the story about how the kid was writing a paper with headphones on and there was writing all over the house that said “LOOK AT ME”? It still haunts me and that was I think like 3 years ago.

YES. THIS IS MY FAVORITE POST OF THE YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How was it handed to her? People were fighting to keep her from having one, fought her when she had an album, and then killed her career after one song. There was almost a decade of work she put in to get to where she was.

“But she should be subject to that criticism. It should be an uncomfortable space for a white artist to appropriate black music. It’s only because of her white privilege that Iggy can be in that uncomfortable space but not have it get in the way of her career.”

I love the racism you enthusiastically express.
Obama was invited many times by Bill O’Rielly, but he was to chicken shit to appear.

Meh. I sleep fine. My kids are like teenagers. I can’t drag them out of bed in the morning. And my younger one was one of those no-sleep babies. This too shall pass.

My suggestion would be to try one of the many suggestions.

They’re supposed to be eating at least a couple of baby sized meals a day at that point with protein and breastfeeding too (or bottle). No wonder her kid is hungry in the middle of the night.

Wait, is she saying you can’t feed solids and breast feed? I know I’m a man, but that can’t be right. We fed my son solids and he had his milk too at 6 months and he was gravy. I think the baby is waking up because it is hungry.

I mean, sure, she could probably find some gold-digging asshole.

Actually, Valerie Steele is a P.H.D. from Yale who has written 18 books about historical clothing,a and specifically about corsets and their history and effects. She is most definitely not just "A curator of a fashion exhibit" and I can guarantee you that she didn't just get her data from designers and corset…

Well modern medicine wasn't around to collect samples during the Black Death so I suppose we can't really know if it was a bacterial infection or a bad balance of humors.

You really think it's beyond the pale that some women actually enjoy wearing corsets? I also know women who actually like wearing foundation garments such as girdles, too. Do you think they too automatically fall into a category of not thinking of themselves beyond a male fucktoy?

Yeah, dispelling exaggerations and outright falsehoods about a garment while outlying it's actual dangers in relation to modern beauty devices is totally the same as "corsets are fine." One small passage addressing the oppression of fashion/beauty and how it relates to female vs. male desire is not enough. They should…

"Experts! You are wrong because I was stupid enough to let someone lace me into a corset too tightly in order to fit clothes made for a woman whose diet and lifestyle insured that she would be much smaller than a modern person."
