writing calluses on middle fingers are beautiful and a sign of deep creative capacity that can’t come out as quickly s required. a sure sign of a brilliant, brilliant mind. and that physiotherapist probably wanted her to change it for the beauty standard of not having a callus there! mere fashion! when will we stop…

The real key here is the socks. Wearing socks during sex apparently increases the incidence of women having orgasm. Something about warm feet and orgasm go together. It was a strange study. I’m not finding the link at the moment, vindication!

Uhm. Yeah, ok Jan. Cuz I wasn’t equating myself with anything. As the article and the concept says, this isn’t about me, a white woman, so what’s your bag?

You know what is crazy, that attitude from the coaches/etc. I had to tell a person (acting school that my son went to): “lady, I PAY you to do this job. You take us for granted, you ignore my child, we take our $$$ and walk. And, I will be telling my friends and colleagues.” (seeing as we’re also in the film/theater…

We are ‘casual, fun’ sports here. Living in NZ helps, as there aren’t ‘school sports.’ there’s PE, which is everyone doing things for fun, and we’ll probably get around to a unit that you like eventually, since all units last about 2 weeks. Swimming happens 2 terms per year 1x per week (20 lessons total) because it’s…

I have t say, living in NZ is great for this.

that second paragraph, tho. ;) LOL

It’s quite simple. You can read through the comments for the examples given by others or you can do a google search for Taylor Swift/White Feminism and see criticisms and examples of that behaviour.

Ah man. I love Michelle Obama. I miss her.

No, it’s a legitimate criticism of her actual behaviours. People can be nice, well meaning, talented and successful — and still do things that are harmful to others about which people can and should be critical.

If I could link you to another person’s statement about it, I would. Essentially it boils down to — white feminism, victim narrative, mean-girl behaviours.

This is my take, too.

In situations like these, I wonder if it’s the cheating that’s wanted or the relationships?

I got into my lane by myself today, and then I had a guy come in who was going slower than the slow lane, and then another guy come in who was going mad and over splashing and saying that we were holding him up. There was no one in the fast lane, FFS. So anyway, i got into the fast lane, then the ladies masters swim…

It’s very awesome. Definitely visit before trying to move here. A lot of americans come here and go “omg, this is not america!” and go home. :D

I’m so sorry to hear about what your friends are going through, and what you’re going through right along side them, as a good friend does.

Contact your loan services to get an adjustment or forbearance. It’ll help.

I’m sorry that you went through this with your friend. I hope she figures out that if she has to ask “is that bad?” that it is bad, and she needs to check that stuff, and then apologise to you for putting you in the position of being a ‘mule’ for her.

I am very excited. It’s a huge growth thing because, in my past, I would either work-study to do trainings or I would forgo them and not ask for scholarships because I felt like I wasn’t in the category of “need” enough.

I’m sorry you’re going through so much! It’s so upsetting.
