I totally picture her going the turkey fryer fuck up route and throwing a frozen burger into way too much hot oil then getting spattered. Anecdotally, I’ve cooked many a frozen turkey burger. I rarely use actual oil. Usually I run them in the oven but if I’m cooking them on the stove, I use a little spray. So far, no…

Except that it’s not if said hormonal birth control is fairly common and effective while also not being immediately obvious. Utilizing some sort of effective contraception is what a responsible adult woman who wants to engage in casual-ish sex does. And those methods are not on par with a sterilization procedure. But…

A formerly highly rated show on a major network doesn’t really count as ‘niche’. Unless by niche you mean black or shows that you don’t personally watch. I’ve never seen an episode of Empire but I know who he is just like I’ve never seen Game of Thrones but know who Maisie Williams is. I can’t speak to a music career…

What I want to know is, if he set this up, what was his end game? Was it a play for sympathy? Trying to show that MAGA hat wearers really are a bunch of hateful, violent racists? What was the point? This is the sort of thing I might expect of some D-level reality celeb, Youtube ‘star’, or general shit stirrer, not…

But is it an unreasonable expectation that someone who seems to be down for fairly casual sex be on an effective method of birth control? She could have just as easily said I have an IUD or do shots or whatever and it sounds like this dude would have been okay with it as long as there was some secondary method in…

Alternatively, what goes around comes around in fashion. The prairie lolita look has definitely been here before and seems less about fantasy of settler life and more about presenting a ‘new’ silhouette that’s in contrast to bodycon dresses, sleeveless looks, v-necks, and crop/hi-low shirts. Not that it’s not…

For the most part, I hated gym in school. I was a fat girl with big breasts and a fat ass so squeezing into the tight t-shirt and short shorts for gym in hs was already pretty humiliating. And I was pretty uncoordinated and flat out awful at team sports. When it was time to run track, I usually cut class and walked…

It’s unlikely they were tracking her periods because there isn’t really a need. Staff providing personal care likely didn’t notice because it’s not something they’re really looking for. There’s also the possibility that she didn’t bleed a great deal due to other medical issues. Depending on the patient’s size, any…

Celebrity is a powerful thing and a lot of people are blinded by it to the point of ignoring past behavior. Or, honestly, she didn’t know anything about him other than his name and that he’s famous/rich. 

I feel so bad for all of the workers involved. Talk about false advertising. Promised well-paying jobs or a lucrative, money-making opportunity only to get the shaft by a bunch of rich assholes. And they probably had to put up with a lot of bullshit from the festival goes as well. I’m glad this woman is getting her…

I was sympathetic to him but he also totally enabled Billy just by being there and I got the sense that this was sort of a regular thing - that he was used to having to bail Billy out of whatever nonsense he got himself into. 

I hate it when people act like being a victim of abuse is some kind of get out of jail free card for abusive behavior. At the end of the day, barring very, very specific circumstances, you are responsible for your actions and should be held accountable.

I was terrified of being in a gym because I’m a fat woman with no idea what I was doing. So I got myself a trainer. I work better with someone to instruct me anyway and having a trainer gave me someone else to focus on rather than being distracted or worried about looking like an idiot. So now I still probably look…

The problem is that, unfortunately, going after people who game the system inevitably has a greater negative impact on those that don’t. I’ve worked for about 20 years with the elderly and the chronically ill. In that time, I’ve run across many scammers including people who basically turned avoiding work requirements…

The sweater itself is far more offensive than the dude wearing it. It is hideous. 

I love Belle Vie from Aldi. Basically budget La Croix since I’m not paying top dollar for fizzy, vaguely fruity water. It did help me cut out the actual diet soda from my diet. I look at the La Croix brand as the new version of the Starbucks cup - shorthand for basic trendiness i.e. stuff white people (and some not…

I know. And which is worse, getting coal, which could actually be useful, or ending up in a sack and beaten with sticks. Krampus keeps Santa from having to deal with that nonsense. Another person said I was going over to the dark side and getting hooked up with ‘white people shit’. 

Or if the security guard hadn’t decided that her sitting on the floor wasn’t a massive problem. I get it. Ideally you don’t want people sitting on the floor. It can be obstructive. But, if there are no chairs available and the person is having difficulty standing (or is just fucking tired and struggling with a child),…

I’m wearing my black and silver Santa hat and a Merry Krampus t-shirt. Someone asked me why I was celebrating ‘opposite’ Christmas. 

Let the VS thing go. No amount of social media shaming is going to make them start recruiting plus-size or trans models. They’re dedicated to projecting a certain type of image and have no desire to change. Instead, throw support behind more inclusive brands and let VS sink or swim.
