I think that you probably just did more to reinforce why people think 'snobby' wine people are insufferable, than you did to refute it.

As much as it is nice to see acceptance of a trans individual in culture, it should be understood, as Laverne Cox so lovingly and wonderfully explained, that this acceptance is through the lens of a particular type of privilege. For many trans individuals, their reality does not reflect Caitlyn Jenner’s (and this…

“But what I think they meant is that in certain lighting, at certain angles I am able to embody certain cisnormative beauty standards.”

Weirdly... My pits are MORE comfy since I stopped shaving. (I had a baby, and then I was all IDGAF and my husband didn’t ever be like OMG I WONT SEX YOU WITH A PIT STACHE) so I just kind of kept it going.

Thank you for this—this is a great piece. There’s so much hand-wringing about trigger warnings and censorship and people yelling about how “being offended doesn’t make you right,” and I think it’s all kind of a red herring. Of course students should be challenged, of course professors shouldn’t be constrained—nobody’s…

Lil Bub wasn’t “bred” to look like that — as the article points out, her humans adopted her from the pound. She has several genetic mutations, and the point of this study is to treat the symptoms of the mutations, not to “breed” them into other cats.

Shitty comparison is shitty because it lacks context. The world of a century ago is not the world today.

I do wish people would stop saying it’s “Harry Potter but/for x!” I’ve never read a more unhelpful phrase, because they always just mean “it’s fantasy you’ll like.” The only thing Jonathan Strange and Harry Potter share is their Englishness. You might as well call them both “Dickens for nerds”.

So women are valued for being hot but they can’t care that they are valued for being hot. Fantastic. I’m thrilled to raise a daughter in this culture.

That male gaze double standard makes me want to chew my own fingers off in frustration. Of course she cares about how she looks. I love Taylor Swift but you’d have to be an idiot to not see how carefully she chooses what she wears or how she looks even if she’s just skipping out to the Duane Reade. Saying she’s hot…

Can we talk about what sounded like the Jenner girls being booed while they did the intro? I saw a few mentions of it on Twitter but it came and went. I’m still thinking about it. Specifically, how gross it was that two teenaged girls were booed like that. I tend to cut them a lot of slack because 1. they’re kids and…

dude Ed Harris & pretty much every celebrity has one or is going to get one. Kanye started an organization in Chitown to help young artists called Donda’s House & made good contributions to hip-hop. No harm in giving him that thing. Besides, this has been happening since forever. Deal with it.

And you can tell this woman’s first language is not English from her Facebook post, so fuck people who are trying to subtly justify this treatment even harder. Watching store clerks snap at my family members who can’t understand rapid fire English leaves me with zero interest in seeing this from the fake manager’s…

That’s a good way to miss the point of the question.

It’s a product designed by rich people, manufactured by poor people, marketed to other rich people (and to poor people living outside their means), and relies heavily on a primarily white color scheme. Why *wouldn’t* Republicans endorse it?

I've been an apple fan for over a decade... But don't be that guy dude... Nobody likes that guy.

That is the dumbest statement I’ve ever seen. Period.

I’ve worked with more than one woman like this, in the past. I’m thin, but don’t diet. Other women have tried to do these same things to me (I said “try”, bc once I’m aggravated with someone, I’ll tell them anything). One coworker only left me alone after meeting my parents & seeing that these two older people are…

You know, music used to be a “thing”. You’d buy an expensive stereo and collect albums. Share them with your friends, get together to listen to music. In the past 30 years it’s been turned into background noise. The superstars are all gone and the business is a pale shadow of it’s old self. All because music became…
