These are the Real Housewives we’re talking about. I wasn’t aware they were supposed to be taken seriously, or hold valid opinions about the state of the world. I thought the whole point is that they’re tacky, trashy, out of touch hot messes who act like they’re better than the poors? 

Granted, my exposure to the world of the Real Housewives is pretty limited but isn’t the whole premise of these shows to watch a whole bunch of rich, tacky/trashy, spoiled, out of touch hot messes do ridiculous shit and stir up drama on TV?

I don’t know that one but the name alone makes it sound terrible.

Agreed!! 

I mean, it’s this week’s truth.

Except Lohan was actually talented. 

I have trouble trusting anything Demi Lovato says or does so I’ll use the pronouns they want but serve them with a major dose of skepticism.

This is about the fact that in heterosexual relationships, us women almost always do a disproportionately large share of the emotional labour and we end up being the ones responsible for maintaining family ties - not just with our own families but with our partners’…

I fucking hate Seward Johnson. He’s up there with Thomas Kincaide and Chihuly in the pantheon of outrageously bad art that people fucking love because people are fucking tacky and have no fucking clue.

Why do you ask?
