I just read the BuzzFeed reporting on this and they mentioned that Italy has a 20 year old cited statute that found that someone wearing jeans must have consensually removed them, cos jeans are hard to take off.

Anger is all I feel these days. I vote and vote and speak out and protest. But fuck it. All I want right now is someone to tell me to speak English in public so I can smash their face in with a rock.

I used an exaggerated expression of regard, and any attempt to turn this into a negative connotation is ridiculous.

Another day, another white woman whose face deserves a hearty splash of acid.

So, my mother’s sorority roommate’s daughter got married this past summer in the ritziest and most canned sequence of events I’ve ever attended. The bride is in her late 30s and wanted A Wedding (tm). Her parents are divorced and her mother spends every penny of her alimony trying to keep up with her former lifestyle-…

YEAH UH THIS WINS

AHAHAHA SANDWICH CAKE. I’m getting married next year, my dude’s mom and aunt want to throw me a shower, and in the initial ‘eeee let’s do it’ conversation they brought up making exactly that.

Yeah, retro food is for attempting when you are tipsy and have been reading the Regrettable Foods site.

OHMYGOD THIS HAPPENED TO YOU TOO?????

Yes, Nazi Enclave really has to take the lead here.

I’m mad this isn’t at the top.

May be slightly outing myself, but pretty sure my family doesn’t read this site so I should be good. Mine is less a weird event, more weird guest.

A friend of mine from a deeply religious family got married as soon as she got out of HS at age 18 (!!!) and little baby me (age 17) helped throw the bridal shower and bachelorette party. The entire wedding party of 4 teenagers had a budget of maaaaaaybe $200 and absolutely no clue what was expected of us. Our…

Oh, my gawd.

I think ‘Bride Discovers Future In-Laws are Nazis During Bridal Shower’ wins. And I use the term ‘wins’ very carefully in this instance only because in every other way that is NOT winning.

DETAILS OBSCURED FOR REASONS!

So twenty years ago, my cousin announces she’s getting married. Ok, cool. She’s having her bridal shower in a German social club somewhere in the mid west two days before the wedding. Ok, cool. I’m her maid of honor, but the groom’s mother has planned this, and I’m a broke college student,…

My own unasked-for bridal shower was so awkward (and also maybe the only one I’ve ever been to?) It was thrown by my work friends, who were acquaintances by my standards, but this was in Texas y’all and they were trying to be kind to this newly-engaged Yankee. It was dubbed a ‘lingerie shower’, which to this day is…

With all of the fuckery, disenfranchisement, and straight up voter fraud perpetuated by Kemp, Stacey Arbams still managed to get this close in the current official tallies. There isn’t a doubt in my mind that she won that fucking election.

The bride: my husband’s ex. The location: somebody’s basement. After the “design a toilet paper wedding dress” game we settled in for trivia...about the groom. Nobody really knew this guy because he was her rebound that she had only known for a few months, and she didn’t bring him around much. But whatever it’s just…

All of them? Even my own? Bridal showers are weird, where else do we expect grown women to unwrap common household items so other grown women can ooh and aah over shit they all have at home?
