Blue is so hard because it fades to green in no time. Cherry red to burgundy has been my preference for a long time, and reds are notorious for fading without meticulous upkeep and protein fillers and aftercare blah blah. Like you said though, they don't look too awful while fading.

You know, I don't like when "you just want to find something to be angry about" is used to diminish someone's valid argument, but I'm right there with you on this comment. You make a beautiful point. I have consumed outrage in high doses at various points in my life, and it is truly painful. It got to the point where…

I'm almost three times her age and I'm still afraid of high school boys. You can tell her she's a random internet woman's hero.

Excuse me, this picture is interfering with my staunch childfree ~BabyHater4Lyfe~ agenda. I mean, I still don't want children, but I do feel like shouting "AWW DON'T YOU HAVE A HAPPY LITTLE FACE, YES YOU DO!" at your baby.

I made the mistake of watching this without tissues nearby and my face is a watery, snotty, tomatoey mess now.

"Funny" gifs using rape to troll and upset people here is the reason the greys exist, as far as I know. Pick ANY Jezebel thread about a rape case and you will find examples of people making thoughtless, derogatory, blaming, or flat out malicious comments about the victims.

This is interesting in the worst way, because people who would never think of siding with a POC will defend Liang because of antiblackness and because he's a cop. On the other hand, being Asian means he's not afforded quite the same benefit of the doubt as many other cops have been. I want to see a real punishment…

The idea that a girl or woman was raped makes some people so angry, doesn't it. Not on her behalf, no, but because they refuse to believe some poor boys would do such a thing or that JUST MAYBE IT ISN'T A CASE OF A WOMAN BEING A DIRTY "SLUT." So quick to cry about innocent before proven guilty, but somehow the…

You just saved me some money and a lot of fat and sugar with that comment. I have period foreshadowing symptoms and I could eat half a box right now. Thanks!

There should be a word like mansplaining for med students who do that. Medsplaining? Docsplaining? Also I hope you actually said "uh" for that long, because I totally would have.

Apparently he has a new album, but I think irrelevant is the new relevant.

Sorry for taking forever to respond, I promise I didn't spend all 12 hours thinking up something to say. I don't really fantasize about inequality in my favor (ok, sometimes I do, because damnit the imbalance is frustrating. In reality I don't expect it). I just think that if it's really based on merit, there may come…

I haven't, but someone linked a video of it after I already started liking her (I've only known about her since the press for this movie started) and it pushed me right onto the Dakota train. It seems like a lot of commenters are put off by things she says; fair enough but I'm glad I'm not totally crazy in seeing her…

Damn, it sure would suck if the government got involved in medicine. I prefer things as they are now, where the real medical geniuses get involved with my healthcare - insurance companies! Nothing better than having a doctor prescribe a medicine or order a procedure they deem unnecessary and refuse to cover.

It would be very magnanimous of those folks to concede such a thing, like if I were a CEO who was paid tens of millions while refusing to pay my employees minimum wage, but AFTER retiring I "concede" that the income disparity was unfair and the next CEO shouldn't be paid so much. There are men who recognize gender…

"I would love for them to see what I've been working on so quietly."

Uh... you are trying very hard to make that situation sound justifiable. My dad was a high school teacher for 30 years and I severely hope this wasn't his mindset.

Thank you so much! I think I would be better off waiting to see if I have a girlfriend eventually, as you said. I actually passed up two I really cared for when I was younger because I would have had to explain the relationships. I think I'm so conscious of stereotypes because I was a long time regular in a bar where…

Thank you, I see a lot of your posts around here and you are so kind! It's going to be a struggle for me to leave, I know it, but at this point I accept the marriage isn't happening. I haven't even worn the ring in a couple of months and he knows why.

Thanks, I need pushing like this. I recognize this in other relationships but crumble in my own. My therapist has actually referred me to a place I can live relatively independently that will help get me back on my feet financially (one of the reasons I fear leaving) and provide group/individual counseling for my own…
