These are the people who forgot to make hotel reservations. Twice. Also, I assume any decent translator getting a call from the WH these days replies, “New phone, who dis?”

It’s hard to get people to commute for an hour when you’re only paying them $56/day (less after taxes) to work in the hot sun with no healthcare provided. And most Americans over the age of 19 don’t want to live in that one-room apartment they put in behind the barn with 6 other people, even if it’s only for the…
I see Help Wanted ads in all the chic new gentriffy-riffic eateries and cafes in SF, where low-wage seasonal workers and teens can’t afford to live. Who’s going to commute 90 minutes each way to sling boba-tea to brogrammers?
To be fair, when a job pays shit and only lasts a few months it’s hard to find good people.
No, if you can’t call your parents without his permission, that’s beyond simple kink.
Today’s lesson: It doesn’t matter what you were thinking, and it doesn’t matter what you think of it today. What matters is that, at the time you crafted & put on each of these outfits, it made you feel like the Queen of the fucking May.
This might be weird, but I find this all sort of ... sad? Sad in the general feeling of “oh my god I was a dork and everything was awful and I was lame.” For one thing, I might just be legitimately lame because none of this was appallingly bad. For another ... be lame. Do your thing. I’m not that into self-mockery…
Yeah, it’s certainly not Noxon’s fault that she’s white and has an ED, but the fact that only that kind of story can get the funding to be made is another, huge problem.
it might be worth your time to see if you can find an eating disorder support group in your area - they’ll understand the allure and hopefully be able to provide that support for you before you develop a full-blown ED. i’ll even see if i can track one down for you if the idea appeals, and you don’t mind sharing your…
I’ve been told (to my face, by more than one person) that the upside to my chronic, incurable disease for which I now take immunosuppresant chemo drugs is that “I’ll never be heavy! That’s got to feel good!”
I want to star this twice. It is so hard for me to be sane about food when I’m surrounded by coworkers who go on about how baddddd they’re being when they eat a brownie, or how virtuous they are if they don’t. IT’S JUST FOOD.
I think it’s hard because people do value thinness. I was hospitalized with an eating disorder 20 years ago and people still told me how great I looked. I stopped getting my period and had hair growing all over me, I couldn’t sit in a chair without pain, but people still told me they were jealous about how I had the…
Yeah, when I was starving myself everyone said you look great! because I was overweight. Only one person asked if I was eating enough, of course I lied to him, but he cared enough to ask, and that meant a lot.
I’ve never seen any of these films (my age and my unwillingness to be triggered has prevented me), but I really wish there were more movies that talked about diet culture and how it leads to EDs.
And of course, the rightwing nutjobs are blaming Hillary.
You trying walking a runway in some of those shoes, see if you come out completely unscathed. I wouldn’t even try.
Yeah, I watched Mean Girls when I was 24/25. Not my teen nostalgia movie at alllll.
33 here - and as you can see, Clueless is my jam!
