Sanders as Gimli = antisemetic

Probably? What would the harm be in reporting him? The worst that can happen is that nothing will happen (admittedly still awful). I wouldn’t worry about outing the doctor though if he is a turd like you say. Fourth request in what amount of time? Even if it was spaced out it still sounds suspicious to me, with no…

Gross in a slightly different way. I had always had bad cramps but senior year of high school my cramps/abdominal pain ramped up to like whoah. I was doubled over one morning before school and my dad sighed and said “welp, I guess we better take you to the doctor.” We went to the minute clinic down the block and they…

Well said.

See, I came at her later when she moved to nymag. Now every single column is “me and my husband had a fight about [weight/finances/my insane jealousy/insecurity/whatever]...but don’t worry we’re still in love! Here’s how you can be in love like us.” It’s like Dunham all grown up and moved to the suburbs.

She has a regular column on The Cut.

Yesss. I came here for the Mandy Stadtmiller hate thread and I was not disappointed. She is an extremely poor writer, and all of her columns draw on the same worn-out, retrograde gender tropes. It’s the most basic vanilla drivel. I honestly feel like its setting women (and everyone else) back.

My brother has/had mental health issues and “call the cops” was the advice his psychologist gave to my parents when he acted semi-aggressively as a teen, less than 5 years ago. He wasn’t violent, just angry, and never brandished a weapon. They took her up on her advice many times, despite my pleas not to (I would…

I don’t think she was...maybe the author meant Harriet the Spy?

I disliker her, but I agree with her about the “ums” and “likes,” for the most part. I’m a journalist and the general rule is you take that stuff out of interviews unless it is, like, an essential part of how a person speaks. But even then you would take out most of them, and only keep in a few well-placed “likes,”…

Yess thank you. I was trying to remember what sparked my own personal dislike of Tiegan (didn’t know about the other stuff) and I think this is it. She talked about Bynes on a late night show, right? I remember her saying all these judgmental things about Bynes and then snickering about her behind her palm. She came…

Unrelated: Cedar Point rules. I was also living in Ohio at the time of Princess Di’s death and we had season passes.

My grandma was babysitting. We watched the news huddled together on the couch while my younger siblings slept upstairs.

Bobby, I love you, this was genius. Something tells me that Jada Pinkett Smith’s low rating on the mom index is because of racism.

Did you already share this and I missed it? What happened with them?

Lauran Bacall is and always has been my favorite old Hollywood starlet. The fact that she didn’t use a ghostwriter surprises me 0% but I am genuinely grateful for the information.

“I am not a feminist. I don’t think I qualify. I believe in women and I believe in equality, but I think there is so much that needs to be done that I don’t even want to separate it anymore. I’m so tired of separation. I just want people to be treated equally.”

I have been waiting for this thread. I’m Jewish, and had the worst struggles with my hair (compounded by moderate OCD) that planted me in front of the mirror for hours straightening as a teen and in my early 20s. There were other things in my life that contributed to a relaxing of this particular compulsion in my mid…

Yeah, no idea. If anything I’d say the current trends in home decor are a callback to this. Or slightly earlier, what with all the mid-century modern.
