I gave birth last Saturday, when I was only 25 weeks along, because my high blood pressure turned into preeclampsia and then HELLP syndrome in a matter of days. Original plan was to keep me at the hospital for as many weeks as possible before delivery, but my labs turned bad and then worse and doctors think I would

Donald Trump: orders women to pee on a mattress.

Men are so smart and rational and not emotional at all and that is why they are in charge of everything because ladies are too crazy because of periods and emotions. A man would never do anything crazy for attention or to be spiteful, only women do stuff like that.

This time I’m make a mental effort to forget the perpetrator’s name and remember the victim’s.

A few problems: I’m not a male critic. He is not a female pop star. I never wrote that sentence.

Any male critic about a female pop star: “ I wish you were my step daughter, so we could make out.”

I said STEP for a reason.

I love and support you, as I always have, as if you were my own step son

In total fairness, it was my (very-limited) understanding that Kendall has next to no formal education, and even if she has a high school diploma, I would not exactly put much stock in her having done the work to get it. In D&D terms, she pretty much put all her points into boosting Charisma and left Intelligence and

The commercial was such a massive failure from a social justice standpoint that no matter what she did to try and “make up” for it, it will seem pathetically insufficient. She would have to donate a massive amount of money, or organize a massive protest herself, or something of that nature. I highly doubt she has the

Jesus Kendall, maybe go out there and do something that shows you aren’t as tone-deaf as this ad made you seem? Join a protest, donate some money, be willing to get arrested to make a point? If you are still butt-hurt about the Pepsi ad you could always just, you know, prove the critics wrong.

So this how it happens; the constant drip of water wears away the rock after a thousand years. Success!

She got fired for this and people here are outraged on her behalf.

The second part of that lemonade stand story In The New Yorker is kind of revealing, too, but in a different way:

They persuaded their bodyguard to buy lemonade, and then their driver, and then the maids, who “dug deep for their spare change.”

Yup.

When you thought this was your Cindy Crawford moment but you fucked up and everyone hates you because you don’t read the news.

If having to face the fact that she’s completely tone deaf in terms of how the world works and what the struggle is actually like for marginalized people is enough to traumatize her, then maybe it’s good she’s traumatized. Also, she’s super upset mostly because it may impact her “acting” career and that she doesn’t
