Dude, I have a 7-lb. Yorkie mix who I love to little bits and pieces (I’m not a lapdog person, at all, but I found her on the freeway, so here we are). No judgment about dogs who are naturally small or the people who adopt them! Massive, massive judgment for people who use puppy mills, in particular puppy mills that

It’s bad enough to spend thousands of dollars on designer dogs when there are countless sweet, wonderful, unbelievably adorable dogs being down in shelters every day, but supporting the miniature trend, which is straight-up animal abuse, is so much worse.

I would actually watch this horrible show if Justin Bobby is the shitty boyfriend.

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.

Okay, I can see memoirs about people who have remarkable lives, but what’s your take on the Ordinary Gal memoirs. They are driving me crazy.

Dorinda dealing with Drunkass Sonja has been the highlight of the season so far.

OMG thank you for this gem of nostalgia/delusion

En route.

That is not a human head, that is Christmas ham with a face carved into it.

Subtext: there is no such thing as rape culture and women are basically imagining it because look at all the dudes who haven’t assaulted them!

Because if we are not congratulating men for not being vile on a daily basis, their poor man feelings will be so very hurt.

I don’t get it, but I can share my observations as a poor white woman now living among rich (mostly white) people. I have a build my partner calls “Crumpet” after the 1960s term for shapely women: full breasts, butt, and thighs, small waist and flat stomach with a small layer of subcutaneous fat basically everywhere.

That is crazy. I’m not exaggerating when I say that I did not know the idea of thinness ran that deep. I can honestly equate this issue with black issues of skin color/tone & hair texture. Obviously they have their own historical nuances, but the “aesthetic” issues masking more social, economic, political, etc beliefs

Because thinness in white women is shorthand for a number of things: education level, class, force of will. Stuff like that. The white woman who is thin is doing it right. She’s eating 1200 calories a day or less. She goes to the gym regularly, doesn’t miss a workout. If she drinks wine at dinner, she’s not having the

I think that thinness has become an indication of wealth in the same way that fatness used to be.

there’s a ton of history behind it…Coco Chanel, Twiggy, Kate Moss, etc. It’s mostly pop culture based, and there’s definitely a lot of classism involved - poor whites are fat, rich whites can afford to subsist on quinoa and almond milk. At one point, high class women would never finish all the food on their plate,

This is my own personal theory, but I’ll give it a whirl (white Protestant woman here; from a poor background but the generations before had lots of dough). I think there is a rich WASP thing that says “we rule the world and we deserve to rule the world because we DO NOT GIVE IN TO OUR BASER DESIRES (because we have

Is Honey Bee the older brother of Honey BooBoo?

It’s totally real, but “self diagnosed” Lyme’s disease is becoming a wee bit of a fad, like non-Celiacs sufferers claiming allergies to gluten.

Your Morgellons gave me Lyme disease. And exhaustion. So I went to a chiropractor who, after adjusting me, recommended I stay away from the Freemasons.
