What Jesse said. There are actually pants for sale now with inseams too long for me! I need a 34 inch inseam and some regulars are that long. I have seen talls at 36 inches! (Which I guess I would like if I wore heels.)
Tact is just not saying true stuff. I'll pass.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
See, I cannot wear dresses off the rack for the most part, because they are too short through the torso
I have this issue sometimes. But hey! Stealth empire!

People who worry *that much* about what other people eat should perhaps consider a hobby. Meara, I think I read that book. Kind of had the same thought, too, although maybe she gets really fixated on unavailable men, and holds out?Like, after a certain point, is it better to have a real-life experience or hold out for the rose-petal thing?

Have inseams gotten longer because of stacked shoes, I wonder?

Yes. Exactly. And like I said--a lot of it sure sounded very familiar, in an amusing way ("OMG, how are we still all so 7th grade when we like someone??"), but...
Ugh. Just sent a trying-not-to-be-bitchy-but-DAMN letter to some people. I went to an event last weekend and the MC was trying to be funny, and often was, but was trying to be "edgy" etc. I was startled when she used the word "lame", but probably wouldn't have done or said anything--but then she got sidetracked and explained she was using it DELIBERATELY because last year someone had been upset she used the word, and brought up a post-it to the stage to say that, and when she ignored it brought it to one of the judges, and now she and her friends make fun of that and if you do that they'll laugh at you and tell you to fuck off, etc etc. And I was SO taken aback. Like, damn. So if I have an issue, not only will you repeat it, you'll LAUGH AT ME IN FRONT OF EVERYONE next year? Way to make me feel included. Ugh.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Second green smoothie! Still not cured of all my problems.

It's one thing to use ableist language when you're unaware, but if you've had your privilege checked and respond by trolling everyone, then you are an asshole.
