I had no intention of supporting Cynthia Nixon since she is extremely unqualified for the position (and she is taking an explicit stance against the industry that feeds my family), but I decided to vote for her today because I’m so sickened by Cuomo’s behavior during the runup to the election. He’s shockingly corrupt,…

I do realize that. I work in the textile side of the industry. What I’m saying is that a higher price point IN NO WAY automatically means that a product is higher quality. Sometimes it just means that a brand doesn’t have the economies of scale that fast fashion does, so they can’t produce things as cheaply since they…

I watched “Atonement” with my mother-in-law and ugly cried through basically the whole second half. We got out of the movie and she was like, “oh, that was boring, I couldn’t get into it” and my whole face was puffy and red, LOL. The woman is just not emotional at all! I was suuuuuper embarrassed.

What the ACTUAL fuck was that?! Who thought that was a good idea?!?!?!

This is so sad, but I think you’re right. It’s weird (and also sad), but when the #MeToo movement first started up, I didn’t think that I had experienced assault (although I experienced sexual harassment at nearly every job I ever had), but I realized after listening to people’s stories that I hadn’t been comfortable…

Totally! The fabric flunks the quality testing, but they don’t have the time/money/inclination to redo it, so they just change the care labeling instead to cover themselves. How nice to still have high-quality silk blouses! I wash silk in the washer, too, just separately so I can use Woolite (regular laundry…

Had the exact same thought and AM NOT PROUD OF MYSELF. Calling someone “daddy” is mega gross but I realllllllllly want to know more about this man.

Right- these aren’t Hermès scarves, which are made in an incredibly time-consuming way from silk woven in France, so the price tag seems reasonable compared to how much skilled work goes into them. I get that people aren’t used to paying for quality (which is why most clothing you buy isn’t going to survive more than…

It’s the old board members wanting to keep him around because they’re in a power struggle with Shari Redstone (she’s been fighting with Moonves and the old board members because she wants a merger that will lessen their power). The board members who were just added and the new CEO seem to be Shari people, so the old…

Doesn’t it pose a risk to the company?! Even from a purely business perspective, because I assume that not even one of these assholes has a shred of conscience- if Moonves touches another person and there’s all this proof that CBS knew he was a predator, don’t they have to write a gigantic check? I’m assuming that…

Thank you! Not sure why the fuck Gayle and Oprah have any accountability for this creep’s crimes and frankly, I’m sick to fucking death of people blaming woman for the actions of men.

Yep. Fuck Les Moonves, obviously, but also fuck Shari Redstone. She clearly sat on this shit until it helped her get what she wanted. I feel so sorry for all the women caught up in this disgusting mess. What a miserable workplace.

Same! Well, not the tennis racket- lost one tooth to a line drive in the face hit by a much older and bigger neighbor kid and the other when I ran into a wooden chair playing tag in the house, whoops. Even whitestrips make the difference noticeable. I don’t love my smile but there’s not much I can do about it.

Boy. I don’t remember who it was, but someone recently wrote that if you want to know more about what white privilege is and how it operates, just look at who gets second chances. It’s hard to see a starker example than this! You wanna help out friends when they struggle to get their career off the ground, have a…

Yes. And if by we you mean “people in the administration who know firsthand he’s dangerous and terrible but are going along with it cause, hey, deregulation!”, then yes, you are right. Whoever wrote this (looking at you, Pence) needs to go fuck themselves. This is one of the most cynical and amoral things I have ever…

Hi! Former Hoosier here! I don’t like Donnelly, but an occasional vote with the Dems is better than someone that will never vote with the Dems, in my opinion. Evan Bayh was much the same- quick to hop on the Iraq War train, but he voted against abortion access limitations many times, in my memory. I wish Indiana had…

This. I can’t really envision a path to flipping the Senate, and like you said, there’s a non-zero chance that the Dems will lose seats (for example, Joe Donnelly is in a very precarious position).

I’m so sorry.

When I heard he had a baby it made me really sad and scared. He’s SO angry, and I just can’t imagine someone like him who’s never been able (or willing) to control his rage being even a halfway decent dad. I feel so sorry for that baby and honestly, it feels really irresponsible of MTV to instigate more drama between…

It sure feels that way. I try to be a calm and reasonable person, but I’m really scared at the direction the whole globe is moving in and don’t have any idea how we can slow it down, let alone stop it.
