This is a very insightful POV that I think a lot of people, including myself, don’t understand. Read more
VeggieTart: fear of a female planet
veggietart01
Talk about a segment of society that is in for a REALLY rude awakening...
I think there’s a huge difference between our experience of the world and a famous model’s, and it’s causing an empathy gap here. I worked as a model for a minute (nothing glamorous, just boring commercial work), and being a model means being treated like a lamp - stylists, photographers, casting agents, etc will say… Read more
Models are in a particularly bad place re beauty/body image because even if they are perfect, they still get rejected on a regular basis for not having the right “look” or are told by agents, peers, photo editors, etc. that they need to lose some weight. Keep in mind that she worked in an era when shooting a non-white… Read more
Some asshole on my Facebook feed did a side by side of her and Tom Cruise today to show “who takes care of themselves and who doesn’t.” Read more
Hey, look at what happened *last friggin’ month* to Bridget Fonda after some-20 years of fading into obscurity: a fucking paparazzo figured out where she lived, *staked out her house*, and took photos of her looking like a normal middle-aged mom. She had gained a lot of weight and some of the press were rather cruel… Read more
I am more sympathetic, I guess. I think the article is about living with shame, disappointment, and fear of being judged for “letting yourself go.” Look at the recent coverage of Kelly McGillis. Well-known people are not allowed to fall into obscurity when there is news to be made for showing unflattering pictures.
He qualifies for a conservatorship, right? Because Britney did a hell of a lot less and she wasn’t threatening nor violent. Read more
Have a gander at what’s happening in Ottawa right now and get back to me on that.
I mean, I’ll gladly welcome ya with some Timmies and a trip to the legion but....I am not too fond of my country during COVID. A lot of crazies have come out of the woodwork and the Conservative party is quite literally a bunch of MAGA… Read more
Yeah but Canadians are insanely polite. We are talking about Americans here. A country filled with morons that think it’s okay to yell in people’s faces maskless during a COVID surge as well.
I wish I was Canadian. I am open to being adopted. Just sayin’
I am 100% positive that the author of that article is also a member of the “I don’t wash my legs in the shower” brigade. Her floors must be nasty if she thinks that her shoes are cleaner.
I live in Canada and nobody ever wears shoes inside here (even in the summer when there is no rain/snow/etc.). To me, wearing shoes in someone’s home seems both nonsensical and disrespectful. Read more
Most people in this country, especially politicians, only use their “faith” to get people to vote for them. Once its no longer useful to them, they drop it like its as hot as hell.
The areligious population is growing. Would be nice if we could actually build a political voting bloc that could go up against Pence/Noem. But, White atheist dude bros like Bill Maher/Joe Rogan/Dawkins ruined atheism with the misogyny, racism, islamophobia, transphobia and the general assholery.
Given the labor conditions in sneaker factories, I’m sure most sneakers come with a drop or more of human blood.
Dunno about any of my atheist sisters and brothers out here, but shit like this is always hilarious to me. Up until a fanatic like Pence or Noem start pushing laws.
I’ve always firmly believed that if your faith is easily threatened by a moment in pop culture, then your faith was never a strong faith to begin with.
It’s funny how they’re pro-life until they’re beating a cop to death with a fire extinguisher.
This person is the perfect example of modern American conservatism. She’s a liar. Nothing she said is based in fact. Does she believe her own lies? Maybe. Maybe she is that delusional. It’s all still a lie. And this is where we are now. The right will say absolutely any bullshit to further their fascist worldview. All… Read more
It’s unfortunate that the media has portrayed a peaceful event as something that it wasn’t Read more
