I remember a lot more about the Little Sister books, which is weird because I would have been younger when I read them. I distinctly remember the one where she gets glasses. 

I am so glad my parents had absolutely no patience for gendered bullshit. When people brought my brother and I a gift in pink and blue, I would get to pick mine first because I was oldest, and I always chose blue. My brother was always left with the pink toothbrush, the pink teddy bear, the pink throw blanket, etc.…

All I know is that there is no way any other actress will top Claire Danes’ crying face. 

I love Professor Bhaer, and Laurie was an entitled douche. I SAID IT.

Ooooh, that is pretty. Whenever I need to describe this colour (often, because it is my favourite), I call it 60s grandma pink. People know what I mean.

I also have a weekend wardrobe, but it’s offensively distressed jeans and torn up superhero shirts.

I’d say in a lot of places that would be fine. No one would side eye you if you wore that every day in my office.

Several of my coworkers and I already do this, though admittantly the outfit changes through the year. But in Winter I wear high waisted trousers, a turtleneck, and a cropped sweater, and in warm weather I wear a skirt (usually a tea length A-line with pockets) and a sleeveless blouse or t shirt. In Spring and Fall,…

Legit. I’d find myself staring longly at my favourite bepocketed skirt every morning before sighing and putting on some dress I don’t even like that much, and the thought of living that life gives me hives.

I recently started capsule wardrobing with exactly this in mind. I spent a lot of days wearing shit that I didn’t even like that much, when instead I could just rotate five outfits I actually love every week. Makes sense to me! 

Absolutely. That also goes for LARPs and the SCA. Sci fi conventions are also a safe bet. As a general rule, nerds are not about monogamy.

Absolutely. The powerlifters and bodybuilders are much more friendly and helpful than the sociopathic lawyers and finance guys at the ‘luxury’ gym.

Right. While not a meathead myself, I prefer to work out amongst meatheads. It’s comfortable. 

The question of how far I could make it running naked largely depends on whether I can have shoes. I’d definitely make greater distance in a pair of sneakers than I would barefoot.

I’m 32, and I really cannot stand Seinfeld. I also can’t stand Friends, for what it’s worth. In the end, I can appreciate that Seinfeld was more clever than Friends, I still find it virtually unwatchable.

You know what? I think this is bullshit. I don’t think that most of the assimilationist gays have or show respect for brick-throwing drag queens, and they’re certainly not interested in fighting for the rights of trans people now that they’ve got theirs.

The thing here is that most of us who are annoyed by white gay…

Sure, but it fucking sucks that the response of the gays who are desperately trying to convince straight conservatives to accept them is to assert that not all gay people are slutty and throw slutty gays under the bus. A more helpful take is that it shouldn’t fucking matter how often anyone (of any sexual orientation)…

I can see that you’re already being criticized for this in the comments, but I’d like to say that I agree with you. The piece was rude, it was mean, it may have even crossed a line, but I don’t think it was homophobic. I’d even say that this is an example of the assimilated gays (typically cis white gay men who have…

Kinja makes it clear when a comment is in response to another comment. Do try to keep up. 

Or that Americans are arrogant and will ignore context to assume that everything is about them. One of those things.
