Having had skin graft done after melanoma surgery, I naturally look at the match, and the skin used on her face is a poor match. I was worried about how mine would look and it was on the back of my hand. The surgeon and I actually talked about what skin seemed to match my hand best before he operated. Hoping that it…

I went to my extremely conservative Dad’s house for christmas and like almost every year around this time, he reminisced about growing up Jewish and how he still, 70 odd years later harbors some resentment towards the holiday. It really sucked for him, being singled out as a kid as the one Jewish child who didn’t know…

Thanks Mint. The ultimate dream is that the governor General pushes for a double dissolution and that Scotty from Marketing is pushed the fuck out. But nobody knows who is in the wings to take over. If it's Dutton, we'll be worse off. Dutton is kind of like Pence but more sneaky and sinister. Ugh. We're just fucked. 

My country is on fire. My cousins came within literal feet of losing their property but are safe for now. I feel so helpless sitting here in suburbia, unable to do any more than donate money and cry. It feels like the apocalypse is nigh and there’s nothing we can do.

The “men just can’t help themselves” argument is such bullshit.

I mean I’m happy to destroy joy, just because I’m a contrarian, but still........I think it’s a typo.

other than a 31 year old “grandmother” who dies in the first episode.

There’s a great line in the Handmaid’s Tale novel: as the narrator addresses herself in her imagination to her mother, “You wanted a women’s culture. Well, now there is one. It isn’t what you meant, but it exists.”

Ys, exactly. Now I realize that the show exists independent of the books and that there isn’t necessarily a crossover between people who read the books and the people who watch the show (and the people who play the game). But at the same time, I thought it was a pretty faithful adaptation of the source material that…

Looks like you did about as much research as Joan did!

Thank you, yes. For heavens sake. It was like Joan read another person’s criticism and based this post on that rather than watching the show herself.

Dude I can’t even get ungreyed, and I’ve been here since greys were PINK.

Henry Cavill is 36, not almost 40 and Jodhi May is 44, not 31. The only woman under the age of 23 is Freya Allan, and she’s playing a child.

I saw her article and all I could think was “what is this woman’s fucking point?” She flat out stated that it was a complete failure but yet she seemed weirdly nostalgic for prohibition as if she thought it could work this time or that alcohol was the problem instead of the people drinking it

I was more mad about the dead animals, mostly because I think you’ve got the storytelling purposes twisted.

Yeah a lot of the dumber people in the prohibition movement got into it because they thought it would make Irish an Italians either not want to move here/ go home because they wouldn’t be allowed to purchase communion wine for mass the fact that communion wine would likely have been exempted under the first amendment…

I think the charitable thing is to see Moira Donegan as working extra hard to build an outrage piece to get oh-so-much attention on social media and in the mainstream.

I love that Carry Nation used to sell hatchet brooches to cover her legal fees, etc. The idea that other women would wear them around to let people know that, “Yeah, I’ll cut up your shit too,” warms my heart.  You can still find them on the secondary market, but they’re a bit expensive, but would be worth it if…

One word: prison.

Jokes on you, all men have a secret pouch of brewer's yeast implanted in the lining of the stomach upon their 13th birthday. Gimme some water and malt and I'll be drunk as a lord in 3-5 weeks depending on the ambient temperature.
