I feel like this is less bodyshaming than Photoshop shaming. Or perhaps bodyshaming in the vein of “Heh, that alien chose a terrible human skinsuit! The cut doesn’t flatter at all!”

It’s just a specialized, secondary stomach. My husband has one for Mexican food; I have one for sushi and shrimp. Entirely normal!

My boy’s also a nineteen-pounder. While he could stand to lose a pound, he’s also just...a very large male cat. People are always shocked at how big he is, especially when he stands up for treats or to play. You definitely see in certain cats’ faces sometimes, those big almost tommish boys (albeit without the cheeks…

There are definitely people out there for money, absolutely!

Absolutely!

I don’t mean it to trivialize how important it is to a person’s well-being to have their basic self recognized by others, of course! But really, if a person can understand the concept of a nickname, then they can also understand the concept of using someone’s preferred pronouns or name.

I think it always says a lot about those who can’t respect a person’s name or pronouns that the arguments only come up in reference to trans or non-binary people. No one has a problem calling Robert in accounting Bob, and everyone understands that just because your nana can call you babyboo doesn’t mean that anyone…

As someone in the art-for-games industry, I love that the option of a subscription model is there but I dislike that I can no longer own the product I use on a daily basis.

Haven’t seen it myself, but that would definitely be a “Serena Joy” or maybe an Aunt/Auntie but that’s a little more vague.

One of the only books I ever had to stop reading for a while because I was so profoundly uncomfortable--and this was, jeez, at least fifteen years ago--on such a visceral level.

I work for a company that has like ten people and while elements of our structure can be flexible, I still made damn sure that we do have a functional and reasonable structure!

I cut my hair short for the first time in my life last year. When I got it done, the hairdresser was like “And you have such great eyebrows for it, these cuts look really good with thick eyebrows” and I was just like, great, now I can just keep on doing the thing I have done forever because it’s easy and now it will…

He’s almost as unrecognizable as Daniel Day-Lewis without facial hair:

Amen! Plus, everyone wants you!

I went through the entire article waiting for “after” pictures before I realized that your pussy was not, in fact, wearing a dapper little body cape in the images up top.

I’m okay with it, but I suspect it has a lot to do with the fact that (especially animated) we see a lot more human in primate faces (especially gorillas) so it doesn’t feel like as large a leap into the cartoon as pretty much any other animated animal I can think of.

My friend alerted me to it, saying “Wow, Melania’s jacket during her visit really says ‘I don’t care,” and I was like, hm, the cut, the color? I’m not normally for policing adult women for wearing things that are “too revealing” or something, but I could see clothing being really tasteless for a given situation—HOLY…

I can get behind this.

When I first read that, I thought he was implying that there’s no relationship so bad that a person can’t get a “cry for help” out, that you couldn’t at least write to someone, let them know to help you, which was HORRIFICALLY OFFENSIVE.
