I really wanted to disagree w you, then googled to double check. I have to say you’re correct. Saw him in Desperate Romantics a few years ago, to me he is forever Rosetti...

Yeah, I grew up in the Bible Belt and while I know and accept there are true Christians/followers of Christ in the religion, on the whole I believe that Christian (Jewish, Muslim, Confucian, etc aren’t immune either) dogma only feeds/entrenches the idea that men are somehow above women. Because the Council at Nicea…

I feel you. I understand what you’re saying here..

Personally, I think it’s a default of human nature to be that way. It’s not new.

It’s ok now. I think it’s on my mind a bit bc roomie 1 is marrying in two weeks and it’ll be the first time I’ve been around roomie 2 since that happened. But I heard she’s grown up and not a shit anymore, so I can play nice. I prefer it.

Our fourth roomie (my bestie) went to study abroad and I was in the process of moving into my own apt. Went to a small house party with roomies and our tight knit friend group before term started. One girl gave me her drink to finish bc “James made it for me but he must have used fancy liquor bc it tastes awful.” I…

Same! I lived in an apartment with three other women. Social media had just become a thing, and xanga was the blog of choice. The other three had xangas- painfully boring, boring, whiny blogs in the SATC-Carrie style. They used the blogs to “vent”. Really it was a sorta weird passive aggressive way to discuss roommate…

It can and does.

Not to mention the way it can damage other people. Like my MIL telling me I wasn’t raped in college. Then she immediately described the same thing had happened to her in college. But it definitely wasn’t rape, it definitely wasn’t, it totally wasn’t; anyone who thought otherwise was a liar looking for attention and a…

No. The bottle lights are water and a bit if bleach and are set into holes in the roof. The sun illuminates the water and gives light in what would have been windowless rooms. This is some kind of weird diy glow stick. Ew Mountain Dew.

Knee socks + sweaters + shiny little shoes

I move that way, not a princess though! ;) just naturally limber and keep up a bit of yoga.

And at the same time is such a mom... The jiggling infant, squatting down to check in with her toddler and making him smile. ❤️

Lord have mercy, I only just saw how that became garbled. Meant “...are a good human...” Lol

You ate ago of human and you tell a good story. (Not saying you’re making up, but that you told it well.)

I think she’s all that, and also thinking of us. Of everyone who grew up being treated badly, and the other parent looked away or it was blamed on us. She is one. This is like the breast cancer prevention / gene testing in a way. The publicity of everything could be covered over with enough money and gag orders, but…

And it is exactly like Angelina to see that and recognize it, and allow this to be known. Allow the exposure. Not out of fame-whoring, but from and understanding of her position in the world. Because it’s important to stand up to this type of behavior. Because of exactly what you said here, about these…

The quote you picked specifically names black women. Plenty of other advanced nations have both a spiralling obesity epidemic and also ethnic communities. Yet they do not have the same maternal death rate problem. These same countries have maternal care health programs free to all people. Figure it out.

What type of speculation is meaningful then, in your eyes? Like, what you’re on about is *fine*, but if someone calls you on it, that person is wrong? We’re all plebs, peeking though the curtain and seeing very little. Own it.

This. American, Australian resident. I had my daughter in the hospital, attended by a midwife. I laboured for 27 hours. They monitored but did not intervene as per my wishes. When I told mom (living in the USA) about it, she was aghast and assured me if I had been stateside, they would have done a ceasar. I, in turn,…
