Wow I can’t believe I left Monica out of this! That was probably the biggest one! Same experience- slut shaming jokes, no one talking AT ALL about the power disparity, all the vitriol directed at her. It took way too long for everyone to start talking about how insane and wrong that all was.

HA! The Camilla part made me lol. Yes to all of this. I’m sure it was more nuanced and I’m sure these conversations were being had back then, but they definitely weren’t readily accessible to anyone below college age.

Well and that was one that shocked me maybe more than others as far as figuring out how sexism/classism played a huge role in the portrayal of both women. All these 90s stories being revisited in the past few years– OJ, Anita Hill, Lorena Bobbit, Tonya/Nancy, Hillary, probably others I’m forgetting– have this common…

Some of these things I have no idea exactly where they came from! Like my parents definitely would not have been shit-talking Hillary, but I was the same as you- didn’t like her for some unknown reason. It blows my mind a little that somehow other kids’ parents? teachers? news? kids at school? somehow got into my head…

I’m here for all these 90s crime stories. Being a kid back then I wasn’t looking at these events deeply or critically, and despite having smart, involved parents, I know I just accepted the media narratives: Hillary should let her husband be president, haha a pube on a Coke can!, she cut off his thing???, Nancy is a…

I think the thing is not forgetting accessories, it’s minimalism. But you’re not wrong!

I thought it was just my old-ass phone!

I do think he’s hot... I think... but I also think that what’s off about him is how perfectly manicured he always is. He’s like Hot R&Bot 2k18.

I’m in the same boat, and I agree! I’m a little too old for Jonas Brothers fever so maybe that’s a part of it? But to me he’s a mediocre-looking white boy and she’s basically a queen. Like I don’t care about the age difference but he still reeks of BOY so I feel like he should be worshipping her every day. For someone…

A bit off-topic, but now I really wanna know more about the staffer w the great hair whose job it is to be a mic-grabbing Trump lackey!!!

I’ve been thinking the same thing- lately it seems she’s been obsessed with losing weight and getting more of that “high fashion” look and physique. Also criticizing her sisters for wearing anything remotely fun. Seemed like only a matter of time before she debuted a new shape and everyone one declared that “the big…

What’s funny is they could have done BETTER if they’d just picket out a “kid-friendly” font and used that!

Yeah after I wrote that I realized it was seriously probably someone using the chisel-tip brush in Photoshop or Illustrator. You’re definitely right- it’s not even a bad, free, Internet font.

Apparently they wanted it to “appeal to children,” but there are for sure ways to do that without it looking shitty. This is not one of them.

I love how bad Republicans are at art. Like they can’t even hire a good graphic designer. Pretty sure an intern wrote that with a highlighter and just called it a day.

I think some people just can’t get past that stupid American workaholic, self-destructive impulse. I’ve had bosses like that. My all-time idols were two higher-ups who kept calendars of all their vacation days and sick time (my company specifically calls it that rather than just personal time) and made sure to take…

It seems like a sick sort of jealousy almost. Like, if I have the time and all my work is covered, what else could be your problem??

I turn 35 in a few weeks and I have to say- thank you for this! I seriously feel like the past 5 years have FLOWN and suddenly here I am at what some do consider *gulp* middle-age? But I feel how you’re describing- solid, still very much young, experienced, and overall pretty awesome! Did I think I’d be married with…

HOW THE FUCK WAS LEGUIZAMO HOT FOR JUST THIS ONE ROLE???

My high school b-friend bore a pretty close resemblance to Leo, who I was also in love with, and his mom was always pointing it out. Now, I lost my virginity to this dude, dated him for 4 years, really loved him a lot actually, but I’d always give her the side-eye at that. Like, he’s great and all lady but calm down-…
