Yeah, I have to go in with an open mind and go where the spirit takes me or it’s too frustrating. I find as I get older, the problem with thrifting is that I just have less free time to browse and end up buying most of my clothing online as it is, so I really have to make effort to block out time for thrift/vintage.

Sam just asked himself “what would Hermione Granger do?’ and hauled ass to the library. I hope he finds the answer in “The Night’s Watch, a History.”

I have always been #teambetty. The writers have made it abundantly clear IMO how Betty’s upbringing and the era in which she lived shaped what kind of adult she turned out to be. Which is not an excuse for being shitty sometimes (ok, a lot of times), but is definitely an explanation. Betty has been shown reading…

Exactly. Also, every story that followed didn’t feature a guy built like He-Man as the protagonist, but in fact many many stories featured decidedly average heroes getting a Barbie doll nonetheless, even if the hero was supposed to be a hugely unattractive nerd.

Well-said and totally agree. It’s just not THAT hard to pay some attention the fit of one’s clothing and to gauge the difference for when not to wear sneakers. Do you live in OC or SD by chance? Every time I’m in OC it’s just miles and miles of fucking cargo shorts bros and I just can’t.

Exactly! I could clearly tell it was hyperbolic and that the author was cognizant of the fact that it is a ridiculous thing to rant about, but that doesn’t translate to a send-up of the entire topic itself. We read hyperbolic snark pieces on Jezebel regularly (and indeed, many of them are great fun!), so there really…

Oops, I guess this was meant as satire? Totally did not work for me. Hyperbolic snark, absolutely. Send-up of judgey pieces obssessing over objectionalbe clothing items, not so much.

True and also too cold.

Damn, this is so awful. Someone please tell me it’s better in LA? Because we’re not paying $10 for a manicure here, not even close.

I have complicated feelings about maxi dresses, so I was prepared to enjoy this rant, until I got to San Francisco listed as an awful thing. Record scratch, WHAT? San Francisco is like, one of the greatest cities in the world.

It’s a pretty funny show and I enjoy it and no doubt it’s scarily accurate. That said, it is a DUDELY show. Like, it’s fun and everything and I like how we have wacko antisocial Laurie now, but this is still a show that is telling a story about just dudes. Which is fine, in a vacuum, but I really have to balance it…

All I want is for someone to show me how I can wear a necktie to the office without actual...drag?

Former sorority girl from the South here and this is absolutely perfect.

Whenever arguing with an anti-choicer who is in favor of a rape/incest exception, I always push them to tease out how this would work in the actual world in case they don’t know how ridiculous it is. Who exactly, gets to decide if a woman’s claim that she was raped is valid and so she can get an abortion? Is there…

I think at some point (maybe around the 3rd Bobby Draper casting session?) to just stop trying to make Bobby Draper happen.

I don't know, for me it's more like, I really love pizza, but I also really like tacos and salad and sushi. I can eat pizza most days and be completely happy, but if had to only eat pizza for the rest of my life I'd be sad. I could easily substitute tacos and have the same result. I don't want only one sex partner…

Is your implication that people in open relationships are only getting married for convenience? You don't really seem to understand how peopele can still be in a serious relationship but that is also non-monogamous. mr. perdue and I are getting married and we are monogamish and we're not doing it just for the bennies,…

Samesies. It's not that I don't like my family or anything, but I've never been OMGBFFs with any of them, ever, and while we talk regularly, I live two timezones away and just don't discuss a lot of intimate, personal informaiton with them and that most definitely includes anything related to sex.

Yeah, while I wish I had more courage to be out as non-monogamous, I just can't even deal with shit from most of our friends, much less the parents, so yeah, neither my parents nor mr. perdue's will ever, ever be told about this.

Everyone dies alone.
