I'm not about to defend the awfulness which is 50 shades of grey, but this scene does demystify period sex somewhat, so, yay?

Her face is developing the weird modelling-clay look of too much surgery.

I did this for the first time last week. I looked up the facebooks of the people who bullied me in school, and I kinda wish I hadn't. The worst one, the boy who relentlessly harassed me for a full school year is now a doctor, and lives a pretty cushy life in Sydney. I liked it better when I just had my imagination,…

Young Stalin, the dreamboat.

I spent time traveling in a country where pretty much all the toilets are single use and gender neutral, and it was terrible. The fucking SMELL. Male pee stinks, and there is simply no way to neutralize it. Even when the facilities were obviously clean, they still reeked. It was so gross I mostly just avoided the…

I generally feel that marriage is a bit of a racket.

Can we talk about spanx? I don't wear them because aint nobody got time for that. But a friend of mine went through a spanx craze, only to abandon them, because she felt that they squished her body fat in such a way that she looked weirdly tube-like.

cats very rarely claw a person without reason.

Really? Awhile ago I watched a whole bunch of x files blooper reels on youtube (I lead a sad life, clearly), and they seemed to get along really well, they were always joking around and seemed very playful together.

Every photo I see of Kerry Washington reinforces my conspiracy theory that she is actually a disney princess.

Gutted :(

Abby certainly does have a big personality, but I don't think she is a bully.

As a former dance student who loves wallowing in nostalgia, I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm a fan of the show. Also, it's really refreshing to watch a show - any show - where you can sit through a whole episode and not hear a single male voice. I am only kinda joking about that.

The literal erasure of women. And I thought figurative erasure was bad enough.

British women have a great word for the man who doesn't work but won't lift a finger around the house either:

His tatts are also terrible

Ew. There's nothing worse than a washed up old geezer trying to stay hip and relevant.
