Rossy de Palma. She captivates me.

just wanted to respond to say that I feel you, and I struggle with much of the same things you do. I have found a better place in my dealings with men, but I still struggle with female relationships. I have many strong ones now in my life, most of which span many years (a first for me), but I have to work hard under…
it was a seal skin cape! And they blamed the sickness on mutton left on the stove for re-use over several days (the whole household was sick, Mr & Mrs included).
I mean, she’s probably not WRONG.......
I heard that on This American Life this morning! About the carbon monoxide. Or maybe it was Snap Judgement. One of those NPR podcasts.
Lifelong dream of mine. Lizzie Borden was my very first true crime obsession when I was little (I believe it was A&E’s Biography that tipped me off?) and I still remain fascinated by it. Big fat weirdo over here!
Same here with my husband! I work in finance, still do, but we moved from one desirable location for people in finance to another not at all desirable location for people in finance because my awesome viral physicist husband got an assistant professorship. I am a big ol feminist and caught a lot of shit from more…
that’s the one that made my draw drop! I was going to respond and then just decided to express solidarity with you instead.
I....cannot actually believe you’re getting so much pushback on this. I thought it was universally accepted in developed nations that having to sell your organs is extremely exploitative and rife with conflict, hence why NONE OF THEM ALLOW IT. Christ.
DICKMATIZED. I always forget about this word and I’m always so happy and grateful when it reappears in my consciousness.
I believe that has roundly been rejected as an urban legend.
I am married to a Spaniard as well, and have not changed my name. Intellectually, I just couldn’t get down with it and, as you know, it’s weird for his culture. So, kind of a win-win on that one. I don’t know what to do about kids, though. We live in the US, and I like Spanish naming tradition, but people get CONFUSED…
I agree with you and I’m sorry for the aside, but is Meritxell your first name? It’s one of my favorites, and if my husband and I have a daughter someday we think that’ll be her name. (he’s Catalan)
Orange County itself is rich but its finances are very poorly managed and their school districts can be kind of a mess as well.
Jacqueline is a very French name. Maybe co-opted by a lot of Latinas, but its origin is absolutely French (cq, as well as -line is classically French). Unless you were being sarcastic, in which case, sorry!
I really hope that this is just an initial hangover period of women finally gaining some rights and agency, and that the next generation of depressed, angry men will be more adjusted to reality and less concerned with this - more used to the new order of things, I guess is what I’m trying to say. I doubt it, but…
