Fun fact: “Esther” means star!

The Cut published an interview with a psychopath today. She’s not a criminal (or the president of the United States, or a recording artist), and she’s managing as best she can I think, but it’s still pretty chilling: 

’ I told him to his face, ‘Your jeans too tight and your accent funny.’ I didn’t have no [filter.] I was straight outta Memphis.”

I will buy it all.

Cool, I’m on trend. I love granny panties. They don’t ride up or give wedgies and they hold in my lower stomach pooch that was given to me by my two beautiful daughters. Granny Panties 4 Life.

Your partner can find them unsexy. That’s fine, as long as they still finds YOU sexy and doesn’t dictate what kind of undergarments you wear. I’m not a huge fan of my husband’s loose cotton boxer shorts (I’m a sleek boxer briefs fan myself, especially on his tall lean frame) but he’s not about that life. He’s still…

Your 56 year old Uncle Jerry here. Gaga is a superb performer, who’s spent the last decade proving that she can do it all - and by do it all, I mean copy from the best. She can do (in the rock/pop realm) Madonna pop, Bonnie Raitt blues, Grace Jones art pop or (in the jazz/songbook realm) Bette Midler showstopping,…

I feel like HGTV really missed out on an opportunity to make a deal with Lance. They could probably have gotten him to foot some of the bill *and* star in one of their shows. I would have watched.

I confronted my sister a few weeks ago about her new boyfriend being a Trumpster.. She was like Umm.. You know I’m a Trumpster right. She later used a racial slur. I was like WHO ARE YOU. Was proud however that my husband called her out on the racial slur and she was like oh is that racist? Thanks for letting me rant.…

Sort of side note: HGTV is trash. I used to watch it, but now it’s just couples arguing over “man caves” and “she-sheds,” shiplap, and endless boring revamps that manage to all look like the same fancy plastic surgeon’s office. Bye.

A favorite Charlotte Rae bit (from the film version of Hair). The only hip Society lady; dancing with Treat Williams:

She must really not want Chuck on the throne.

They think the Dead Kennedys are Jack and Bobby!

Back when this happened I ended up in ONE OF THE MOST AWKWARD AND GROSS CONVERSATIONS EVER with someone who was cautiously taking the stance that fingering “isn’t as bad as real rape”, by which of course they meant penis-in-vagina/anus. We slowly parsed this out, and I eventually got them to acknowledge that if a…

I met her and she can go away. SUPER HUGE diva attitude. 

Nobody fucking asked for this, Julia. Nobody wanted it. 

Thank you for addressing sizeism and the way it causes doctors to make assumptions and give shitty advice. I work in an OBGYN and I am intimately aware of how judgemental and rude medical personal are about women’s weight. And also thanks for linking it to classism. I think a lot of commenters here are super shitty…

So I started looking at the length of the sleeves in that 2nd image and realized how badly they’re tailored, and then... is her right arm like 3 inches longer than her left or what?

This falls under the same category as Greta Gerwig remaking Little Women. No matter how great the adaptation turns out to be, I’ve seen the story multiple times and it feels unnecessary. 

There’s nothing wrong or gross about sharing your life with others via social media, especially if you have something big going on. More than that, people who begrudge other people’s joy at sharing these things, no matter how mundane to you personally, tend to be complete assholes. So your friend has a baby and wants…
