That press release is a garbage summary of the book written by somebody who hasn’t read it. Swap “picture perfect” for “seriously fucked up rich whites”, and “enigmatic upending” by “women of color existing within their own narratives in a way that imposes on seriously fucked up rich whites and their illusion of…

“Bow to her! Bow to the Queen of Slime! The Queen of Filth! The Queen of Putrescence!” 

Please please please be The Blind Assassin.

Seconded on the old law firm partners. It’s so tedious and tiring to try to get things done while they strut around like roosters.

Someone’s watched Magic Mike XXL a few times.

Just sent it to my dad, who my mom divorced in part due to his hoarding of VHS tapes. Nice long game, Pops!

No.

My partner and I have one hard and fast carveout to our “always and forever” promise to each other. If either one of us cheats, it means goodbye. We’ve both had enough infidelity in prior relationships to know that it is a dealkiller if there is any cheating. We each fetishize monogamy and so we are a good match on…

So how do we recruit folks to show up as true bystanders of a mass shooting staged in a full-on constant combat environment (i.e., the environment fetishized by the sponsors of this bullshit), who get shot and killed in the gun battle between the “good guys” and the “bad guys”?

My mother forbid me from putting tampons in the garbage because (she said) the cat would invariably find them and also (ew) chew them and leave them places. She never said anything about how terrible they are for pipes and it wasn’t until my late 20s / advent of the internet that I learned the truth. I have cats now…

I’m looking at this page while listening to a generic hip-hop playlist and it is both totally hilarious and extremely disconcerting in its...authenticity? Obama is dancing to Don’t Tell ‘Em right now and it is POETRY.

Yep yep. I prefer prequel-type renderings of fairy tales, how the mundane reads below the magical.

I have the literal vapors.

Dunno, this book sounds like complete shite as a learning tool for young girls...but perhaps it is actually realistic, based on attractiveness bias and how it impacts its recipients' experience of the world around them.

Love this girl. She's an all-the-threats. She reminds me of Aaliyah. Oh, lord, I still miss Aaliyah.

I just found out last Tuesday that my live-in boyfriend of two and a half years has been cheating on me THE ENTIRE TIME with an ex, now living in a different state, who considers herself a "playmate" of his. I know this because after I discovered she is actually friends with his entire friend group, I asked her if…

I saw this movie, it's the one where Poseidon leaves the sea to track down his good-for-nothing son Nauplius, who got a little too heavy with a satyress and joined the Coney Island Circus Sideshow. That scene where he throws his spear at the car is such a hoot!
