Okay, but also: construction? I’m not sure if you’re lumping construction in with manufacturing and industrial production, but it is a distinct industry, and the one that’s responsible for the buildings that you live/work/shop in. Because I’ll tell you, the trade that I’m in provides one of the things in your home…

As someone who sews, but not even particularly well, the hem bothers me so much! Particularly where it’s not lining up in the front, or where it’s slightly puckering. 

Same reason she got incarcerated in the first place, to put her in her place.

C) This woman is 6' tall. I would have to imagine that this makes her more open minded regarding height. She has fewer taller men to choose from, and she knows that at least she has tall genes to pass on.

As an incredibly tall teenage girl in the 90s, this was one of very few examples that I had of a woman being taller than the man.

“Back in college, I had a whole lot of encounters where I would be hit on while out... riiiiight up to the point I stood up. And up. (All my height is in my legs.) And the backtracking and almost panicked reaction was one I just had to get used to, because heaven forfend a woman be taller than a man.”

she’s the star of the show that he was guest directing. I don’t give a shit about her, but like... she’s been on TV for a long-ass time on that show.

My last living situation wasn’t ideal for a few reasons, but one definite pro was the fact that I lived four blocks from my boyfriend’s house. I loved how easy it was to spend time together, but that we both had our own separate space. I don’t really have the healthiest attachment style, but didn’t realize the extent…

I know a lot of people in their early to mid thirties who have an intense parasocial relationship with him. 

I’m in my 40s, and I honestly just don’t have the energy. Plus, I have a really cool velvet couch that I’m pretty attached to. 

I tend to agree with you - as I read the article, I was thinking “hmm, that’s a tiny bit Marie Antoinette of her.” I’m not even mildly outraged, but I do think it’s rather tacky.

I thought about Brazilian Girls, one of whom is female, and I don’t think a single one of them is from Brazil.

I also noticed the grandiloquence! It’s like watching someone push food around on their plate.

As a woman, I am offended that you mansplained this better than I could!

I’m attending a 3-day wedding in a few weekends, and I’m not entirely sure what the whole deal is. I don’t think they’re rich - it’s held at a local farm and we’ll be camping, and the bride’s family is Russian and the groom is a musician so I think it’s going to be three days of being blackout drunk and listening to…

I could read it in Tessa’s face, tbh. She looked like someone who knew that her ex was at an event and she had to not think about her while serving up looks. 

Natori is my preferred brand and I feel like my size is harder to find now than when I discovered the brand a decade ago! I do occasionally buy a bra off Ebay... kinda gross but also, not $72.

Oooh, a Mimi Imfurst quote? That’s a deep cut!

I haven’t seen Temptation Island, but I only keep up with the Bachelor franchise so that I know what’s going on for Bachelor in Paradise, because THAT is the trash i want to watch. 

Yeah. I’m trying not to feel defensive, but WOW people are going in!
