you look great! have you lost weight?
broadist:
ATTN: “You look great! Have you lost weight?” is not a compliment. I know it has been the go-to praise-route towards many women since the inception of puberty, but I’d like to put an end to it. Why do I hear this like a broken record every holiday?
Some alternatives:
You look great! How are your new jobs going?
You look great! How is your blog doing?
You look great! Things seem to...

The Dragon and the Giant Marshmallow
coleytangerina:
So last night I was drunk and in a weird mood and on Facebook, and my friend couldn’t sleep so he asked me to tell him a story. Which I did. This morning when I woke up I had a vague recollection of making up a ridiculous story, and made a mental note to go and find it to see just how ridiculous it was. And, well, here it is:
Okay. Once upon a time there was a dragon. And he...

‘Yes we know it’s Christmas’ say African musicians...
redlightpolitics:
The news that cracked me up this morning. I checked on YouTube but I haven’t found the video which I am looking forward to. ‘Yes we know it’s Christmas’ say African musicians as they finally record a response to Band Aid:
CAPE TOWN. After 28 years of silently tolerating it, a group of unemployed local musicians have joined forces to release a Christmas single, entitled ‘Yes...

SO MUCH FAIL I CAN’T EVEN.
They even have a little note on their page: “This is meant to be purely funny with no disrespect, so don’t take anything personal! [sic]”

We’re watching ‘The Help’ in class and I want to shout “YOU WILL NOT USE MY MISINTERPRETED HISTORY TO EASE YOUR WHITE GUILT!!!”
I want to print this out and superglue it to all the copies of ‘The Help’ at my work.

It’s not something I’m proud of.
But can someone explain to me, or lead me to, what the implications are of Kim Jong Il’s death?
I just can’t wrap my head around why some people are celebrating and others are keeping very coolly neutral and I would appreciate some insight, if anyone can give it.
Well, we back South Korea. North Korea wants to blow...

Nancy Downs: The Craft
fuckyeahevilwomen:
The 1996 teen witch classic The Craft is a fun twist on the high school drama genre, featuring a quartet of magical girls who have no compunctions about using their occult abilities to get what they want. Three of them use their gifts for normal everyday things - boys, popularity, et cetera, but Nancy Downs (played by the wicked-looking Fairuza Balk) instead demands “all the...

How to Be a Woman, by Caitlin Moran
(Ebury Press, 2011.)
REVIEWED BY CAITLIN MERRIMAN
FIRST OF ALL, Caitlin Moran clearly has a superior first name, which bodes well. How To Be A Woman, described on the back cover as “part memoir, part rant” begins, as many memoirs seem to, with our protagonist being chased through a park on her 13th birthday by a bunch of boys with rocks. Moran recalls her...

Bellatrix Lestrange: Harry Potter
fuckyeahevilwomen:
Helena Bonham Carter as Bellatrix Lestrange
Arguably Lord Voldemort’s most loyal and pure evil Death Eater, Bellatrix Lestrange is one of the main antagonists of the Harry Potter series. She is pure evil, and believes in a pure blooded wizarding race, much like her master. Sickeningly sarcastic and sadistic, she shows no remorse for anything that she does, even killing...
