Well shit, I hope Vogue Italia is ready to get inundated with orders for this specific issue, because it’s about to become a collector’s wet dream.

Joe Alwyn was in Mary Queen of Scots.

It’s always in the eyes, isn’t it?

I have nothing to add here except that when I dyed my hair red last year, someone told me it reminded them of Adele, and it was probably the most flattered I've been in my whole damn life.

She looks like a mental health nightmare.

Dolly Parton’s husband left the house!

The MAGA chuds don’t give a fuck about having allies. Their lack of knowledge about how the rest of the world sees us is a shield at times like this. They’ve never traveled outside of the US so to them other countries are just “jealous” of how awesome The US is. This is why this dumbfuck has to be defeated. The longer

What is with these bad baby names? The name “Braxton” is trending in my area, and all I can think of when I hear it is Braxton-Hicks contractions. Terrible name, IMO.

I generally walk about 40+ miles a week. People give me crap about my expensive work boots and my compression socks, but I will not have fucked up veins and feet when I’m old. 

I can watch this shit all day on the internet.

Raddix sounds like some new breed of a hardcore straight-edge radish.

You’re absolutely right about the same disability being viewed differently by different people. I too have suffered severe depression (I’m bipolar) for decades (along with severe social anxiety as well) I would jump at the chance for a true cure. For me, my sense of self goes deeper than my illness, and instead of it

I hate to play the suffering Olympics, but when I see articles like this, I can’t help but wonder what the author’s disability is. My wife is hard of hearing, nearly deaf without hearing aids. That sucks mostly because the greater world assumes everyone can hear the same, but the qualitative experience is no

Yeah. Given the choice, I’d rather not pee my pants, or spend a night shivering on the floor cause I leaned over too far.

I’m a dude with several disabilities: Diabetes, severe psoriasis covering 35% of my body, psoriatic arthritis, degenerative neurological disorders, malformed vertebrae... I’m in a lot of pain a lot of the time. I have trouble with soup because of how my hands shake. To the extent that I twist up like a pretzel

I think that fiction “fixes” disabilities, and that characters seek out solutions to disabilities, for the exact same reason that doctors try to fix them, and patients seek out treatments - because disabilities aren’t just character traits, and they aren’t something that people willingly deal with or welcome. They are

Exactly. I love going to music festivals and weekend concert runs but with my Fistulizing Crohn’s and Rheumatoid Arthritis it has become difficult for me to do so. There is always so much for me to worry about. Having to keep insulin cold like I presume you have to do would just add to it. I would give anything to

Same. Same. Same. I have Type 1 diabetes and some other fun pituitary things. I would trade it in a heartbeat. I am my identity, this is a thing that gets in the way of me being me sometimes. 

There’s a bizarre (to me) subset of disability activists who have this view that wanting to have one’s disability removed is in some way invalidating of one’s person.  I honestly don’t understand it.  I can simultaneously be comfortable with who I am in this life while also acknowledging that in some alternate

Watching Yennefer go through a physically traumatic process in order to “cure” her disability presents this idea that any pain is worth enduring to be physically beautiful
