A few days back notmyyacht wrote about being a professional makeup provider at Fancy Store, and how much joy it brought her. It’s true!

I kind of hope her daughter ends up doing YouTube makeup tutorials.

Spending time with yourself is never a waste. I think straight boys could learn a thing or two from us.
Also: strict limits on self care - yeah your daughter is going to grow up FINE.

Right? “Beauty doesn’t matter,” says the effortlessly gorgeous woman.

I’ll have you know I waste time in myriad ways-putting crap on my face is just one of them, and it’s nowhere close to being the most frivolous.

Make up is also a way of building community for lots of young people (men and women), a form of self-expression, an artistic outlet... it’s a lot more than a waste of time.

It wouldn’t be a true Trump experience if someone wasn’t getting stiffed for work they did.

Not being aware of what women experience in daily life is one aspect of male privilege (and a privilege that I shared before I started reading more broadly and listening more carefully).

I do not understand mosh pits.

Right. I’m reading this like “is fidelity really a feminist ideal?” Because I would say no, fidelity is not, but that honesty is a good human ideal. So don’t cheat.

It’s totally possible to be both (I was, a long time ago) but it’s impossible to be a womanizer and a feminist, which is really the grosser accusation here.

Did you actually read her letter? She’s not saying her husband cheated. She’s saying that he gaslighted her for 20 years while he was a womanizer. There’s a big difference between committing infidelity and doing that. She says that she’s been diagnosed with complex PTSD since piecing together the truth.

What I get from her is, “If I’d only known, if I’d known the truth, I could have ended this 15 years ago. I could have made choices for myself.” Which is such a valid thing to say/feel. I used to tell FWB, “Just tell me when you’re seeing someone else.” Because I wanted it to be MY CHOICE if I exposed myself to STIs.…

I dunno what circles you’ve been hanging out in, but Joss Whedon was never “lauded as a feminist god friend and champion paragon on virtue” in mine. Buffy was a fun show. He was never a thought leader. I’ve spent years in a relationship with a highly manipulative man, so I understand and respect her desire to reclaim…

Eh, do you really think she should just slink off into the night?

A guy who worked next door to my office struck up a friendship with me. We were super cool for three years. No mention of a girlfriend. Then I see he got married. It was all over Facebook. I congratulated him. He got all weird and defensive about it. Wouldn’t admit to it. Demanded to know how I knew?

I don’t buy this at all. I have the exact opposite reading of the “firing.” Trump has had establishment types breathing down his neck recently and trying to control him. This wasn’t an angry firing or displacement of Bannon, this was just relocating Rasputin outside the palace so he is unfettered to do Trump’s work…

My (overvalued) $.02:

This is window dressing, a meaningless gesture to appease ‘traditional Conservative Republicans’ and the Generals.

Bannon will say he will continue to support the Circus Peanut’s agenda, early Redditors/Breitfarters will be mad initially but briefly, and the bullshit will continue.

There is a bit on Kimmy Schmidt where a couple of characters can recite Kardashain knowledge without having ever seen the show. They wonder why they know that. The answer is because they report it on the regular news.  

She has a bachelors. She’s the only one of her generation who does, I think.
