As we speak, I have The Gilded Age on while I do some repetitive tasks. I might as well be listening to the radio. Apparently they’re using different tones for different households, but I literally cannot see Denée Benton! At all!

Same. Also, I still have some of my American Apparel stuff. They had a big impact on manufacturing, branding, and public awareness of textile production. Also, he’s gross.

Whaaaaat but also is he offering healthcare, massages (not by him I hope), English classes? Curious to see how he shows up for labor this time around.

This is fat shaming, though. Internalized fatphobia is vicious. I hate ICE and Trump too but their body fat is irrelevant to my hatred. Yes, even though they are hypocrites who demand fantasy physical fitness standards while not appearing to be CrossFit freaks themselves.

To prove how sex-positive he is, Musk quotes the famously unexploited Marylin Monroe, who approved of all her publicly shared images

I know, just letting you know that your U.S. fans will be startled because it’s an awful word here.

That word doesn’t really work with a U.S. audience. Lovely clothes though!

It’s in constant rotation in university Slacks, and all the Peggys (far more important than I ever was) thank you
