I purged dying my hair and mani/pedis. My hair is now a color I've never seen before-- my natural color. And I'm starting to see that neat clean nails look better than any polish.

This was at the start of the show. So Brad was still a jade egg in Gwenyth’s yoni at the time. I believe Tate Donavan was distracting Jen in the mid 90s, strangely he had a bigger career at the time with some movies on his resume.

The only fat joke that ever landed on Friends is Monica explaining why she needs to go on a date with Chip Matthews for her old fat self, “I never let her eat!” For anyone who has gone through dramatic weight loss, that rings true.

That is great to hear. The longer I live the more I realize life is just about doing the work. Period. It's always just that.

I spent a night at Mills college in the 1990s. The bumper stickers on cars in the parking lot were next level feminist snark. I loved it and some went over my head. Mills was like a Jezebel before Jezebel.

I thought having kids would mean guilt of bringing little people into this crappy world (during Obama, we dared to hope). But it actually turns out that they are amazing, creative improvements on my husband and I. They may just be the people to be able to fix the world. But of course I'm biased.

Butter Sugar Sandwiches. They had an unforgettable smooshy crunch.

Gen X can also remember how bad Alanis looked with a middle part and a long face. Some faces need a side part, it cannot be a trend.

There is something about non-profits that fosters terrible workplace environments. I’ve heard Teach for America has a toxic environment as well. Maybe crappy people are drawn to non-profits to feel like they are good?

THIS. Modern country music is white male dreck. Whenever I pop in to check CMA winners it sounds like a bunch of law firms singing about their fake cowboy problems.

The next pissing contest should be about the cheapest person you ever dealt with.

Giving Blue Steel in black socks...

Yes! What is the hand tattoo thing? I have a misguided early-20s tattoo in a conspicuous spot and it is lasting much better than hers. I feared the “old navy guy’s forearm look” for my tat, but she seems to have been going for that look.

Eexactly, the wine glass rating system is the tell. I know places like AV Club or Vulture may have a cutesy rating system for any show. But it reinforces the attitude toward all things female in pop culture as especially trite.

I needed this post this case still haunts me. I used to try to find his mom on Facebook, to see what kind of woman raises a boy who does this. I have teen nieces in MO and OH, the 2 states impacted by this case. When I see a boy with his arm thrown over one of their shoulders posted on FB I yell, “Get your hands off…

Thank you for supplying my tagline for 2021! Your final sentence is everything.

9 pm is late and I used to live in a magical place where I didn’t have to wait in line for brunch. It was always better than any bar past 9:01 pm.

“Reductive and humorless" describes the show!

It’s actually pretty sad, narcissism is well documented and rarely treated. Because the first step is admitting you need work. I have an in-law who is an elderly narcissist with low self-esteem, which I used to think was a paradox. It’s like an oil well fire in the desert, hard to watch and hard to stop. Plus Kanye is…

I am from this area and quickly sent this to my bestie, because we fully would have done this and would have a complex messaging system in place to act quickly. This totally happened, because the kids today (K-pop army and such) are way better than our Bevis-n-Butthead-Daria-sorry-selves.
