One of the grim pleasures/unintended consequences of the Dump-ster fire admin was watching the orc horde pretending that Melania’s “Fuck off and Die” decorating was warm and Christmassy. I know the majority of them really thought of that creature as classy and what-all, but those stark black, dead trees against the

I clicked thru the Vogue article to see the photos. Those granddaughters are gorgeous.

Thank you. He’s surely not perfect but the Biden hate here is unreal.

Really, sewing discord”? Would crocheting discord be better?

This.

Synesthesia isn’t classified as a disability so no, I wouldn’t call it “having an abled person play a differently abled person’.

Ok. This is a bridge too far. What is this Gilbert Grape bullshit? I know this probably will get lost in the grays, but my brother has autism, and I made a short film with an autistic character in it so that we could increase representation. I went to great lengths to find an actor ACTUALLY ON THE SPECTRUM to play

That is an amazing idea and it’s too bad Sia didn’t take that route. Honestly, an entire movie’s worth of Sia’s songs and Maddie’s dancing with trippy themes would have been entertaining on its own. But she had to do...this. Lol. 

This is a truly terrible idea. Truly. If they wanted a person who sees the world differently so they could do whimsical musical sequences, they could have made the story about someone who has synesthesia, where you see music as colors or something like that.

Probably the kid isn’t autistic at all. Just messed up because she has parents that would name a kid Music.

I did laugh out loud to that opening line about the cheering crowds of dozens. I cracked up even more at the pretty savage comments in the Twitter mentions.

So if Harry defaults on the loan will the bank repo Wales?

Yes to this! Similar to you, I have PTSD from rape/trauma & abusive partners. Sometimes heavy necklaces and wearing my hair down trigger anxiety, to say nothing of masks.

Everyone needs to wear a mask but not all masks are suffocating. I’d recommend that people study different shapes and try different kinds. I now own bandanas (for exercise), surgical masks, and three different kinds of cotton masks, some with darts and some more shaped with a specific nose piece that have room at the

Oh god I loved Karen Carpenter. I guess most things aren’t new, they are just packaged differently. Have you heard of intermittent fasting? Some of my friends think it’s the greatest thing ever and I was like how is that not the same as an eating disorder? Notably, they all lose weight very rapidly and then gain it

I did a fitness challenge when I was 22 for 3 months and I ate under 1200 calories a day—900 was my goal—and I also exercised for an hour. To no one’s surprise I lost a lot of weight! I also (1) almost crashed my car multiple times and (2) broke down into tears in front of my students and cried for thirty minutes

Pro: Could finally get into the Star Wars park with less people in lines if I went

I wouldn’t want John Lewis mentioned in Dirt Bag.  This is a gossip article, and he is much more deserving of an article that is just about him, and his life.
