How about FIRE HIS DUMB ASS?

I love how I didn’t even have to mention my favorites and people are recommending them to me! And what I’m loving even more is all the other similar authors I’m learning about. Half an hour ago, I wanted to buy myself books for Christmas and had no idea where to start and now I have a list.

Oh my god, you’re the best! Hahaha, I feel like I should have mentioned I’m an English major, so I’ve read a good chunk of that list, and I’m at least familiar with most of them.

IT’S LIKE YOU KNOW MY SOUL, I am a huge fan of both Isabel Allende and Gabriel Garcia Marquez. HUGE. I’ve always meant to read Jorge Amado, but I’ve never gotten around to it. If his work and Jose Saramago’s is similar to Allende and Garcia Marquez, then mama has some Christmas shopping to do for herself. And many…

Fucking hell, I don’t even have words for how disgusting your “father” is. Is your mom still married to him? Did you ever tell her?

Oh, please! I’ll take any recommendations you are kind enough to throw my way.

Unrelated: Has Kinja changed again, or is it just me? Also, the numbers for everyone’s stars are not showing up.

Yes, I know that, but for this to happen, we would need to deprogram 100 years of conspicuous consumption. It’s too deeply ingrained in our lives and too many industries are dependent on it for us to be able to realistically put a stop to it. It would require a conscious, consistent world-wide effort to transform our…

LOL and who, pray tell, has the money for American Apparel? A shitton of people are poor, yo. We still need to get dressed and if I have a choice between a $1 shirt and a $60 one, you bet I’m going to get the $1 one, because I literally cannot afford anything else.

LOL all of this, while white actors are being cast to play ethnic characters all day EVERY DAY. See: 65784 different incarnations of white, blue-eyed Jesus, that “Asian” Emma Stone fiasco, white Cleopatra, white Native Americans, etc.

Okay, see, I still think that’s insane, but I could *maybe* understand doing something like this if you’re in fashion. Still crazy exhausting and uncomfortable.

That sounds...exhausting.

Yeah, I assumed as much, but then I thought “Hey, maybe it’s not a sexist thing, maybe I’m just ignorant!”. Clearly, my bad.

So just as gross as I thought!

I know this is not the point of the article, but if the dress code said “business attire”, why the fuck were all the women in cocktail dresses? Are they idiots or am I just unfamiliar with the meaning of the term, as a non-American? I mean, is business attire not something you could wear at the office? Or is that the…

I would not have been as strong. I admire you sincerely.

What do you mean no one is trying to ban Christmas?! What about Starbucks, the Ultimate Oppressor Of Christmas?

Ugh, I had some jackass try to argue with me yesterday. They were outraged and “MYSTIFIED” at the attitude on Jezebel against pro-lifers. Don’t we know that they don’t hate women? They just believe in life at conception and abortion is the wroooong choice, because babies and life and something something morality.

Hahaha, I have been guilty of being in your boyfriend’s shoes! Texted the manfriend and he just texted back “I’m on the bus. Lotta people around me. LOTS of people”. So I inadvertently informed several strangers of our sex life, which *I* thought was hilarious, but he was less amused.
