The hair's not really doing it for me, but otherwise: smokin'.

Recently-ex-boyfriend had the largest penis of any man I've ever slept with and he sits quite comfortably with his legs crossed. Try again.

This is so true. I'm only now realizing how much of an impact he had on my sense of humor, too. He seemed like one of those people who would always be around. I can't believe he's gone.

I listened to the Good Morning Vietnam soundtrack so many times on family car trips that I can recite the broadcasts by memory now.

Nail, head, you hit it, etc. I find it especially interesting how you tie in post-Fordist economies to this depoliticization and the ways in which image has now become capital.

appropriate the inadvertent motif of lower/working-class life and fetishize/commodify it for conspicuous consumption

I totally get what you're saying. If you look at the history of punk - as a genre of music, but also a cultural movement - I think there are some interesting things to be said about how fashion played a role in what punk was trying to do in terms of cultural rebellion and non-conformity. But somewhere along the line…

Even punk's obsession with being anti-fashion has just become another fashion trend. Every subculture has signifiers, punks are just fixated on portraying non-conformity.

The only time I sleep nude is when it's hot as balls in the summer and I can't stand to be covered by anything but a thin cotton sheet, if anything. The rest of the year? Especially in winter, I'm all about the pajama pants + tank top combo. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thanks!

Octavia Spencer is the best.

People just don't get how much of a tug-of-war there is between "these are awful side effects" and "I need this medication in order to function as a human being."

The whole acne vs. birth control debate is one close to my heart. The only thing that has worked for my hormonal acne is oral contraceptives. I don't like the side effects of the pill - including weight gain and enormous boobs - but I don't like acne on my face, back and shoulder even more. I was on Diane-35 (and…

Well, now that's just mean.

A woman at a bus stop once asked me when I was due when I was wearing an empire-waited sundress. I wasn't overly offended, but when I told her I wasn't pregnant, she started having a full-blown panic attack, I guess from the anxiety of having committed a social faux pas? I felt pretty bad for her. She didn't seem…

Having had both my computer and phone stolen when I did a stupid thing and left them unattended for literally a minute when I thought I was alone at school, I was still devastated. Granted, I'm not practically shitting money, so it was quite a chunk of change to replace both items, so there's that. And I also lost a…

I think, best case scenario, a surrogate would honor the parents' wishes, but as you say, you can't force someone to undergo a medical procedure they don't consent to. And that's exactly why this kind of thing needs to be explicitly negotiated beforehand, so everyone has the chance to opt out if they find their ethics…

But you still can't force someone to undergo a medical procedure they don't consent to, regardless of the question of "ownership" of the fetus. Hell, when my mother was in the hospital after surgery, the nurses couldn't even make her take anti-nausea medication when she refused. It is simply unethical to force anyone…

Oh, for sure! It's more the huge companies like Lululemon where I just think, seriously, you have entire teams of professional designers working for you and this is what you come up with? I think it's similar to the argument you hear about plus sizes in fashion, that it's just too challenging so they won't even try.…

My problem is that I have a small rib cage and big boobs, so it's really hard to find anything that is small enough in the band and still has coverage. The other challenge is that I don't want tops that look too "bra-like." I know that's a tall order, but I wish those cute hot yoga tops could be made in designs that…
