Jezzies - does everyone feel as broke as I do? I work full time and make four dollars above minimum wage. Granted, I live in a fairly expensive city and just over half of my paycheck goes towards renting the nice but totally unfancy apartment I share with my boyfriend. We live very meagerly - all household items…

I'm just going to leave this here...

for those who have not discovered it yet: Veep is such a good show.

I posted this last week in gawker...but since I am mostly grey, I thought it was amazing enough to repeat. My best Christmas gift was the gift of time from my daughter. You see she'll be moving in with her bf and wanted to reassure me that we will still hang.

Before reading through the whole thread, my advice would have been to try to talk with her first. However, since she went off on your manager, uh, take this to HR. Or your manager. Or both.

Speaking of cross stitch, I am about to finish this bad ass mother fucker. Can. Not. Wait.

I'd go directly to HR. Ideally (and I know that not every company is like this), part of their role is to handle situations like this as smoothly as possible.

And so the time of the slow weekends is over.

Pueblo Zoo in Colorado just welcomed a set of Porcupette (right???) twins! Adorable! Mazel Tov! I just want to use one as a loofah (humanely).

You brought up the subject of what white women think in your initial comment, so i thought it was appropriate to offer my own experience as a counter-example. If it was not appropriate for me to comment as a white woman, i apologize. I wish i hadn't said anything because i'm not trying to make a counter-argument at…

I know you weren't trying to diss this girl. We're on the same page insofar as that is kind of the problem, people using women's bodies sort of like public domain upon which to impose their own politic or agenda.

Thank you. Not surprised by James comment but as you said, he's seen all of 2 black women if he really wants to claim that "no fit black or Latino women" have big butts.

You're putting a lot of nastiness into the psychology of What White Women Used To Think. Keep in mind that white women don't get to chose their bodies any more than black women do. I am white, but i have very full lips and a bubble-shaped butt; this was not fun growing up in my all-white environment. People constantly…

Just because your big butt doesn't look like her big butt doesn't mean her's is fake

I'll just say that I'm not sure this was ever true. It's possible that white people exoticized big butts. It's possible that they thought that big butts were a sign of low intellect or savage nature or something. But I'm pretty sure people have always liked big butts. See, e.g, the Hottentot Venus, aka Sara Baartman,…

Sigh. No. Being looked at while gyrating in tight pants at the gym is a ridiculously different thing from having sex with anyone who asks. That is an absolutely false comparison. Anyone who makes her(or him)self a public figure is asking for attention from — you guessed it — the public. To then complain about getting…

No, I'm not. GAWKSUCKER's post was commenting on the hypocrisy of plastering her body all over the internet and then complaining that she doesn't want to be looked at. I'm pointing out that this claim doesn't hold water and is just a rather obnoxious humblebrag. If a woman deliberately puts her body out there to be…

Creepers are not the topic of this thread. I'm not defending them and they gross me out too. But when one deliberately posts selfies online in ways that objectify the body and include the face, then talks about being recognized from it in public, and THEN whines because there's too much staring while using the…

But she says people recognize her from her prolific butt pics online, they KNOW she wants it to be looked at. She could easily go to the gym in loose clothing that doesn't show the pores on her ass cheeks.

There's a difference between not liking attention and not liking to be watched. Someone leering at her ass on instagram is not the same as someone leering two feet away ad over her shoulder. That said, while her ass is impressive, it's nothing I haven't seen before. To each their own I guess.
