Rich ladies can afford to pay for private doctors that do more than spend 15 minutes with them and who may be more motivated to provide a diagnosis that doesn’t have to be approved by insurance. Regular folks have to deal with insurance and usually don’t have the money or coverage for expensive tests, treatments. We…

I think that a lot of people try to find a reason for behaviors, particularly if the behavior is unusual or significantly out of character. A medical diagnosis can present a tangible explanation especially since a lot of physical illnesses can effect behavior and perception and because not all illnesses are…
Why not both? Seriously, does anybody expect Vogue to not compare the look of one actress with the look of another, iconic actress? That’s pretty much their thing. And it’s not that unreasonable that they wouldn’t connect her style to the structural hairstyles of other cultures. Even if they did I can see editors…
I’ve never fully understood what makes a particular photo male gazey. Could be because I’m old but it seems as if any photo that’s even slightly sexy could be seen as male gazey. Is it based on who’s controlling the image or how the person is posed/dressed? How about the type of pin up art or imagery that supposed to…
They couldn’t get wings right so I’m not holding my breath for decent garlic fries. They need to stick with what they do best - cheap ass hamburgers, fries, and either overly sweet or watered down soda. And maybe expand their actual breakfast hours instead of offering Breakfast All Day but only if you have time to…
Kindle, wallet, make up bag with make up I don’t wear, make up bag that holds spare phone charger and earbuds, two tins of mints, loose mints from previous mint tin spill, sandwich bag of ibuprofen, essential oil for headaches, maxi pads, Midol, lotion, hair bands, two sets of keys, a kubaton, lipstick flashlight and…
I have an Alvin Ailey Barbie and I think a Misty Copeland Barbie would be perfect next to her.
Slow and steady changes. Part of the problem with the show is that it’s basically a crash course to take off as much weight as possible. That’s extremely hard on the body. And it’s not sustainable. That’s why most fad diets fail. People can’t do them long term. In real life, none of the contestants could maintain the…
Honestly I’d rather work with someone who was direct because I appreciate clear communication. I understand the benefit of phrasing things in a much ‘nicer’ way but, to me, that feeds into that false sense of familiarity.
I think the internet has definitely changed the way that we communicate in terms of linguistics. It’s much easier to shut down arguments online by refusing to engage or by saying you’re offended and that communication style has migrated into general usage. It’s aided by the echo chamber effect of only dealing with…
Joining you as another woman of color who just isn’t behind Beyonce. I’ve never been that big of a fan but I loved the fact that she managed to piss off so many white people by daring to go all black on them.
I’m fighting some kind of stomach thing so I’m actually spending the weekend watching big cat stuff on YouTube and window shopping on Amazon and Birchbox. What I should be doing is focusing more on getting back into writing but I am trying to do a few prompts just to test the writing muscles.
Probably because you’re losing weight and improving your health in a not wholly ridiculous way. I think most doctors wouldn’t care what, exactly, you’re doing as long as the outcome is positive, there are no negative side effects and it’s sustainable. Their jobs would be 10x easier if people would eat healthier and…
Personally I think it’s better to let people choose the bathroom that corresponds best to their gender. It saves on trying to redo or add bathrooms which is something that small businesses especially can’t do. And it’s not really feasible right now for large stores like Target to go full unisex - that’s not something…
If you’re using a multiple stall unisex bathroom, it’s kind of a given that there’s a possibility of sharing the facilities with someone of a different gender. How you handle the discomfort is up to you but, if the sign says unisex or just restroom and it’s multiple use, then you and the other users will just have to…
All I keep seeing are spa and massage coupons. Now I’m going to have to see if I can get some sweet deals on concerts.
If you’re in a stall, why does it matter if there’s a urinal? I get that there’s the discomfort of walking out of the stall, going to wash your hands, and seeing some guy peeing but is it really that big of a deal? Unisex bathrooms with stalls and urinals make things easier and avoid lines because people don’t want to…
Not to mention the Asian wise person trope. It was a no win situation and they were going to be criticized no matter what. Cast a Japanese person? But then you’re saying that all Asians are interchangeable. Make the character non-Asian? You’re erasing an Asian character. Casting a white woman as a character that was…
Honestly I think everyone needs to have something in writing. People will fight over the dumbest shit. Having a will, medical directives, and power of attorney makes it easier on everyone involved. Even if she doesn’t go to a lawyer, it’s still a good idea to look into it and some states even have free forms that just…
