Wait, are we talking upskirt like a camera hidden under the sink basin, so that when you stand to wash your hands at the tap, it films the view from below, or are we talking like...in the actual toilet? Bc either way is terrible in the context of revenge porn, but...yeah.

Also someone is profiting off of this and he…

Even if her shoes are custom-made to accommodate her specific congenital foot deformity, she’s still going to have problems. I mean it’s not just a cosmetic issue; her foot can’t function anatomically as feet are supposed to. And even the best-fitting heels are going to exacerbate the problem because, ya know, even…

She has a (mild/moderate) clubfoot. Prolonged walking—especially in the types of shoes she wears for performance (and partying)—can cause pretty severe pain. Conveniently, she’s small enough that she’s not too much of a burden for her friends, family, or staff to bear, so she hitches a ride on all but the shortest of…

Aaaaaannnddd I read these comments out of order, and just realized this has been beat to death hours before I even got here. Sorry!

Jesus Christ, just stop. Major depressive disorder is not the same as bipolar disorder. Bipolar disorder means the person has manic episodes. In major depressive disorder, the person is always in a state of depression.

Wow, Nancy Kerrigan hosted SNL?  Damn, that must have been a real cringefest

But it’s Pre-Columbian, as in before Christopher Columbus and the colonization of the New World.

I know this is a super old comment at this point, but I wanted to say that this:

This might just be the weirdest thing I’ve ever read on here.

And tags embarrass me because it shows how disorganized and distracted I am, usually because I’m in a hurry due to poor time management skills. It just makes me feel like I’m broadcasting what a doofus I am.

And that doesn’t even include the ones marked “Literature” and the MFAs in Creative Writing and PhDs in Rhet/Comp. All of that falls under “English,” and I saw quite a few entries from those.

Your family sounds amazing.

I love this and I love you for writing on this topic. And I really, really, really loved the piece you wrote last year that was posted on Christmas. It takes guts to write about this, and I respect you so much for doing so.

Even worse is Ativan (lorazepam), which causes anteretrograde amnesia, but the intensity of the amnesia doesn’t seem to be connected to the intensity of the drug’s sedative effects. So, you can appear TOTALLY FUCKING SOBER but not remember a goddamn thing. I’ve woken up in the morning to find food from a restaurant…

Remember Sweet and Low-Down?

Alcoholic, self-pitying, abusive, misunderstood, wounded musical “genius” (a fucking white jazz guitarist, because of course) meets oh-s0-twee girl who is literally mute. Oh, and she wears a hat.

Someone might have noticed you were too drunk to drive and gave you a ride home.

(I speak from experience. This same thing has happened to me a couple times. It is definitely scary as hell.)

Wait, what?

So we should all keep agreeing to work with sexual predators because if we don’t, they’ll get violent?

Worth noting that John Waters—the king of camp—regularly depicts low-income white Americans in fun and silly ways yet somehow always manages to be kind.

Uhhh...or you can’t tell the difference between Harper’s (high-brow lit/politics/etc. magazine), Harper’s Bazaar (the poor man’s Vogue), and something you made up on the fly because you don’t know what Harper’s is.

last weekend my husband took me to see the trans sibeian orchestra and then got stuff to decorate for Christmas

60 isn’t particularly old anymore, and if her career is/was in something like academia (where you have to stay up-to-date on research methods) or any career where you use the internet all day every day for a variety of tasks, then she probably got here the same way most of us did: either Google or social media. And…
