The thirst is never quenched.

Counterpoint: This is a shitty, anti-intellectual, anti-literary hot take. Hats off to anybody out there who is like, “Nope, I am not an entrepreneur, not a web developer, not an app-anything. I am a writer — specifically, a poet.” (And no, I am not a poet. I am a librarian, and thank god for poets.)

“...talks about myself being compared directly to another beautiful woman.”

When I was living in Boston, conservatives were complaining about people on food stamps shopping at farmers’ markets (even though that’s the most efficient use of food stamps there), and also complaining that they were buying chips at grocery stores. So they shouldn’t be buying fresh produce because it seems too high…

And not too clingy-- wouldn't want to be slutty. And not too loose-- wouldn't want to be frumpy. And nothing with the neckline too high or too low, as judged differently by every person you encounter. 

Or griping that they have smartphones, as if you can even get a job without reliable access to the internet these days. 

AOC is to the right of me on some issues, but I love how she just makes conservatives and centrists absolutely furious. I loved her taking part in the protest outside Pelosi’s office. She’s using the spotlight being on her and being newly elected to put pressure on the party establishment. Wonderful to see and I hope…

If only this hussy would have the good taste towear a jacket that read “I don’t really care. Do U?” This would be a non-issue!

the focus on what she is wearing is gross. what do they expect her to wear to capitol hill? even as an unpaid intern in law school i was able to scrape together a plain black outfit much like the one she was wearing for court. i remember i wore it 3 days in a row for my first trial because i only had two suits. but i…

She’s the future. And every time they look at her, deep down they know that she had to be smarter, better and work harder than them to get there. And she did it. 

“-functions much in the same way flat-screen televisions and nice sneakers show up in conservative rhetoric about people on Medicaid or receiving food stamps.”

I’m always surprised at how difficult it is to get a band size smaller than 32 in North America. I need a 30, yet there are many people smaller framed than me. Do they buy training bras?

I love Cora so much. Thank you for spending the time (and the word count) on such an in-depth interview. These are conversations most of us don’t have about lingerie and need to—especially where sizing is concerned. I also applaud the very good point about geriatric men in positions to make decisions/shape public…

great interview!!! As a small breasted lady I would like to point out that VS fails those of us on the opposite end of the spectrum as well. I’ve never been able to find a properly fitting bra there that wasn’t a bralette.

The last time I stepped into a Victoria’s Secret, the person they had measuring me said that I was a 40B. I was a dumb college student and bought the bra. Immediately regretted it.

I never realized the aversion to going beyond a DDD cup until now. The standard sizing really does say it all. We don’t have a BB or CCC option, but as soon as you hit D, then the Ds get added into infinity rather than go up to the next letter.

I am, which is part of what makes me freak out about the prospect of a special needs child as an adult, I feel like I can do it when she is little (my Mom was a special ed teacher, and I’ve spent a lot of time with kids with developmental delays), but the idea that I could die and leave her alone as a young adult just…

Emily, please, this should be the only gray on the page.

My friend sent me this New Yorker cartoon, I am not sure how old it is but it made us laugh
