Primal pit paste stick in regular unscented! I like this deodorant because it has just a few simple yet effective ingredients - shea butter, coconut oil, baking soda, arrowroot powder and beeswax. This doesn’t irritate my skin the way a lot of natural deodorants do (I’m looking at you, Tom’s). I’ve tried a ton of…

This deserves WAY more stars. For real. Just spit out my coffee.

Excellent! Just what we need! ANOTHER book from EL James reminding us that the only people who are into BDSM are weirdos who are damaged from childhood trauma.

UGH I hate this shit. People who say they ONLY are interested in one specific ethnic group or aren’t AT ALL interested in any member of one specific ethnic group just scream “I’M A HUGE RACIST!” to me.

I also have a really hard time with the idea that a trigger warning is anti-intellectual. I have no problem being challenged by difficult content. I’m a rape survivor, and if I see TW: Rape on an article, it’s not going to deter me from reading that article. It will, however, help me emotionally prepare so that I’m…

This is so interesting to me - I’m American and I’ve worked jobs where I was doing manual labor, jobs where I was working closely with children, AND standard office jobs. I’ve never once been drug tested. They’ve all said they could conduct random drug tests at any time, but they never did.

I was literally just scrolling down to the comments to say the same thing! This is how I will describe all drunk Westerners here in SE Asia from now on.

This is so incredibly thoughtful and well-written. Thank you. People often don’t realize how long it can take a rape survivor to unpack what happened to them. By the time you’ve put a name to what happened, identified the pros and cons of reporting, etc., it’s often too late.

It’s like that in DC, too. Listening to other educators talk about “those kids” and “those parents” (and you know when they say “those” they are specifically talking about low-income, black families) is completely horrifying. The extent to which certain groups of students are set up for failure and then blamed for…

For real, and NO ONE (at least when I was growing up in Atlanta) ever talked about that part of it. We used to go on field trips to Stone Mountain. It was always nice to get outside and go for a hike, and the area is gorgeous, but it seems like our teachers were really missing out on a teachable moment. I don’t think…

maybe things have actually gotten more boring as the seasons progress

Everyone already answered your question I think, but if you’re interested in more Sansa storyline, GRRM posted a chapter from TWOW on his website... Enjoy :)

This isn’t in the books but it IS one of the best fan theories out there. The whole thing is here. The story of the Night’s King is thought (by some fans) to be about humans and Others making peace and sealing it by having a Stark marry an Other. It’s one of the more compelling ASOIAF theories I’ve read.

WASPs 100% shop at Target. Southern ladies with money (at least where I’m from, and especially “old” money) have no qualms about mixing things from Target, J. Crew and Kate Spade all in one outfit. WASPs might not buy their Lilly Pulitzer from Target, though. IDK, I’m a WASP in name only (Would that be.... a WINO?…

I mean, wasn’t he in chronic pain in addition to being an addict and severely depressed? From what I remember, the pain is why he began using heroin in the first place. I can see how years of that might make a person feel like they just couldn’t go on, regardless of everything and everyone else in their life. It’s…

I live in Vietnam and a lot of people (locals and foreigners) wear backpacks here because it’s easier when you’re commuting by motorbike. I don’t think it’s that weird.

Ooh I hadn’t heard of Pacific Links but I’m going to look into it because some of the art students at the school where I teach are selling work they’ve produced this spring to donate to a non-profit that works in the area (I’m in Vietnam as well).

Also this:

I mean, I’m not telling you how to conduct yourself while traveling, so I don’t know why you feel this is over the top. I’m just expressing that taking pictures of people without their permission makes me uncomfortable. To me, it comes across as disrespectful and voyeuristic in most contexts, so it’s something I…

Yeah I can see how people who do this might think they are just expressing appreciation and admiration for the culture. And in some places, people are totally fine with you taking their picture, especially if you ask and especially if you’ve had some kind of positive interaction with them. In other places, though,…
