Anyone who has driven just half an hour in any direction beyond the Pittsburgh limits would not be shocked by this. I grew up fifty miles outside of Pittsburgh. There are zero black people living there, and for good reason. Kids in my high school made lynching jokes, or joked about “ovens” to the only Jewish kid in my…

I guarantee you that every celebrity shilling Proactive ACTUALLY got cleared up by Accutane, and Proactiv gave them a few products to try during that time so that they could “technically” claim it was Proactiv. If you get such drastic results with an over-the-counter medication, you could have just done it with…

oh yeah, I can definitely see that being a problem. Getting a line stuck under its tail can make a horse spook, and horses that get anxious clamp down hard with their tails, exacerbating the problem. Though drafts are usually pretty chill and don’t get bothered by that sort of thing, especially if they’re being hauled…

Cropped tail. Many draft/harness horses’ tails are cropped like dog tails, for equally dubious reasons. For harness horses it was so that the tails don’t get stuck in the traces, but some horses, like Arabians, are shown with ridiculously long tails, so I think it’s more of a percetpion than a reality. The tail hair…

Please consider this autumn pony. Also this fluffy pony:

As an ex-Pennsylvanian, I’m glad to know so many women are winning their races. I also wanted to mention that John Fetterman, the mayor of Braddock, won against the current Democratic incumbent lieutenant governor. John Fetterman IS a white dude, but speaking as someone who worked in Braddock for Americorps, I can say…

Use a fake name. I use a fake name for Facebook too (despite it warning me not to; what are you gonna do, Facebook? Report me to the internet police?). You don’t have to use your real name, just a name that sounds real. My real name is really common, but you can’t find me on the internet because my real name is pretty…

According to the linked chart, women are also vastly outpacing men in government jobs, which is like... thank fucking god.

Accutane is the most severe (and most successful) medication for cystic acne. I’ve been on it three times and the acne came back, and the more you do it, the less effective it is. But sometimes it takes care of acne for good, and it is so much a miracle drug that I hope it’s not banned for its rare depressive…

It’s almost like I said nowhere in my post that I was oppressed. Funny, that.

As someone who is asexual aromantic, it’s become clear to me that our system is woefully inadequate in accomodating anyone who is not fucking someone else (monogamously, of course). It strikes me as profoundly weird that the government gives you benefits because you are a) fucking one person and b)promise to fuck that…

Not every woman gets 100s of messages. I think this stereotype ends up hurting women who are older, overweight, or plainer, because they’re going into it assuming it’s gonna be a sausagefest and it’s not. You end up thinking something is wrong with you. I personally got a couple messages a day and I’m average looking,…

Even worse, he took this chartered plane from Dulles to Philly. To drive out to Dulles from DC takes an hour already, and it’s a miserable drive. The same trip from Union Station in DC to Philly would only take two hours on the train.

“In porn, the style of the bodies, the current style for pubic hair, the fake tits, the role playing, the fakery, the way porn is categorized like cuts of meat: “Bit Tits,” “MILF,” “Schoolgirl,” “Barely Legal,” “Black Girls” —-it’s not just about free expression of sexuality. It’s about coloring within the lines, and…

In 2013 I was making 28K a year and lived somewhat comfortably in a one bedroom in the Bellevue/Avalon area, where my rent was slightly above $500 a month. I did look at a studio that was $395 a month, and Bellevue is about 10 minutes north from downtown (and really nice!). I’m not sure about what it is now, but if…

I was there for the breaking of the locks. Some butch biker ladies were doing it, God bless ‘em. Couldn’t have picked better heroes.

This is something to struggle with, because our entire society focuses around pairing up, and speaking as someone who is both aromantic and asexual, I have already come to terms with forever being single. The “no romance and no sex” part doesn’t bother me (for obvious reasons). But when I had to go to the emergency…

My rabbit and I both were pirates, and I spent waaaay more money on the rabbit than I did on myself. :T The rabbit’s costume and the ship were made from scratch. My stuff was bought at a thrift store for the most part.

Can my rabbit join in too?

I drove through Ambridge every day for work for two years. There are a lot of poor people there, black and white, but the people I worked with were the “loud racist white” types. Ambridge is a good place to prey on fears of poor white people who want steel to reign supreme again, though obviously it is never coming…
