I also have sensitive (and dry) skin and recently had about a two month stretch where my skin was just angry and really dry and irritated even though I hadn’t switched products. I started taking a high quality fish oil and it calmed right down. I only even take half the recommended daily dose and my skin has been…

“when you apply your sunblock, make sure you get it up under your eyes, on your lids, and under your brows.”

I’m hoping 31 will be better...

R’s are the worst. Why are there so many different ways to pronounce/roll them? But maybe I’m just bitter because my childhood best friend could not say my R-heavy name and when I lived in France it sounded like someone coughing up a loogie.

I used to have a job where I’d sometimes need to record people’s names, but not for anything super official so they were pretty blase about it and never offered up the spelling. But when I took a moment to ask ‘Is that Brian with an I or a Y’ or ‘Anne with an E?’ they were usually really appreciative. But yeah, there…

“the barista stumbles through your name, you play a little call-and-response, then she asks about the spelling, or just barrels ahead and tries her own creative approximation, a little jazz-scat by way of Sharpie.”

It looks like a pile of rabbit turds. Like in those old cages with the wire bottoms that just let the poop fall below and the rabbit had a favorite corner and nobody shoveled it out so it started to pile up.

See, if their objection was that it was offensive to place a sculpture of an apparently headless woman in front of a place of knowledge, (particularly given their recent problems with campus rape), then that would be worth discussing. But “I think it’s ugly!” is just silly.

Judge Judy is not a successful politician.

Exactly. I know a lot of fantasy takes its cues from medieval times, particularly with regard to women, marriage, and sex... but why does it have to? Why does the fantasy society have to accept marital rape as the norm? It’s not a package deal: you don’t have to include sexual violence in order to include knights and…

Switch out corporations/banks for Muslims/ISIS and it sounds eerily similar to Trump.

The issue is the title, which ignores a pretty huge misstep/criticism of this campaign in favor of something silly and meaningless. Plus, ending on that same silly, meaningless thing really softens the blow of any previous criticism. Sure, talk about the subway thing: it’s kind of funny, write another little article…

Sure many Sanders supporters would vote for Warren, but Elizabeth Warren isn’t what ‘Bernadette’ would be. I don’t think they’re saying that Bernie supporters simply wouldn’t vote for a woman, but that if you transposed his personality and political style onto a woman, that woman would not be a successful politician.

I remember some professor or another telling me that when women in the court needed to take a tinkle but couldn’t leave (because they couldn’t leave the presence of the king) their ladies maids would bring them a little chamber-pot of sorts and they would just go where they were, hidden under their skirts. I’ve always…

It was really sad. The fact that their identity and worth was so tied up in a label- not even in their actual size, (which would still be sad), but in an inconsistent, arbitrary label- was really depressing. It also sucked since I, a size large, had to stand right in front of them while they made their disdain of the…

I don’t get it... are you more mad that he commented on your size or that he thought you were a large?

When I worked retail I was very open about my size when assisting customers to help them figure out their size and when they were purchasing gifts. I’m usually a 10 and a large. When I told them this matter-of-factly so many women would rush to tell me that no, I couldn’t possibly be that size! And, even though this…

When I worked retail I would frequently encounter women who would just flat out refuse to even try on a larger size (especially if they went from a medium to a large). Even when it was clearly an issue of a particular item running smaller than everything else they’d try on and it was physically the same size as every…

I always feel very conflicted about thinking this and haven’t brought it up before, (because why should she even need to share her size and who am I to doubt her?), but I really don’t think she’s usually a 6-8. She is of similar height (a tad shorter) and body type to me and I’d say she’s a solid 10 most of the time.…
