It didn’t seem coherent enough to be sarcasm. Also, all the fucking Jill Stein voters I knew (and who are now dead to me) were male.

I think my lack of a complicated facial care regime probably has something to do with my early exposure to second-wave feminism. I took a women’s studies class where the professor asked this question. I’ve worn almost nothing but concealer since.

48. Middle-aged Gen-X facial care slackers unite!

Hi, Mom! :-D

Try moving to the Midwest. You can get away with a whole lot more.

I hear you...I always had light eyebrows, but just wait til you hit perimenopause—even albinos have better brow definition.

The last time I was harassed was in high school, thank God. And I was a target BECAUSE I dressed conservatively. Seriously. I was Barb.

“Old enough to know better.” I think that’ll be my response from now on to such shameful idiocy. Especially when someone is ninety-two and still professionally active. No excuse.

They shouldn’t offend a Commonwealth country like that.
