GOOD. I hope this sets a strong precedent.

I love the announcer on the right (I didn’t catch his name), he is always so genuinely enthusiastic about the women competitors and an absolute delight in every NW clip I watch. He’s a good egg and clearly a huge Jessie Graff fan, who is absolutely extraordinary and worthy of fandom!

The song has aged like fine wine, but the video looks ridiculous. Except for the part where she’s covered in gold paint, which I love, it’s one of those videos that’s a victim of a technology that was probably revolutionary at the time (the water splashing all over), but now looks like a child drew it with crayons.…

As I have written before, my daughter died when she was five in 2011, two months after being diagnosed with an inoperable and malignant brain tumor. There is no cure for her type of tumor - DIPG - and current treatments do little more than extend life for a few months.

I had a 2nd trimester abortion for a wanted child with chromosomal abnormalities and that in itself was hard enough. I cannot imagine being forced to carry a terminal fetus to term, being forced to go through the process of either delivering or having a c-section, being forced to deal with everything your body does…

In order to volunteer at any of the schools in our school district, you have to fill out an application which includes permission for them to do a background check. I am of the hope that ‘former serial killer’ would preclude someone from volunteering.

You pretending to be impressed by that spoon trick is a real talent

Okay Peter’s date was FANTASTIC and their discussion of their gap teeth warmed my cold, dead heart to no end. It was so GENUINE!

This lady, in additon to being a racist, sounds like a special class of fruit loop (O pioneer, if you move to a predominantly black neighborhood, maybe expect to see black folks standing on the sidewalk outside of your house?). But WTF is going on with the Southampton police? Per the Press:

Men sure are emotional and irrational lately. I think we need to stop letting them make statements, run things, and read the news until we can get a handle on what’s happening.

The Verge updated their story and has officially been pardoned.

Love this! And I love how great Lynda Carter looks. Because of her, I tracked down adult Underoos just so I could be Wonder Woman under my clothes once again, lol.

To me I feel like women can’t win either way, and this proves that anti-choicers really just want to shame women for having sex.

I was raised very religious and it takes a long time to get over that kind of brainwashing. I don’t love the fact that she’s anti-choice… But maybe these events will make her realize the hypocrisy of pro-lifers. Once she has that kid… Ain’t none of them supporting her.

Gee, I wonder if the dude who she had sex with was banned as well?

Being the only girl is not the “only girl syndrome”. Its the fear of other women which she got over.

I was the only woman working an an EB Games over ten years ago. Then a prettier woman came in who liked Halo more than I did, and I was literally replaced, as in they stopped putting me on the schedule and basically quietly fired me.

I was one of three runner-ups in a competition for “People’s Nerd” on the second…

I’m for this song because I feel like it’s a nice counter to the boy band tropes about “most girls”. So, if I were still 12 I would be all over this song and I would most definitely have a dace routine being planned out in my head.

As is its internalized sister, “I’m not like other girls.”
