- Comment on Women's razor ads use bare legs but cleaning products don't use clean floors. 1 day ago:
Body hair is deeply stigmatized. Bodies and bodily functions are stigmatized.
It’s the same reason why sanitary pad commercials use clear blue liquid for absorptive demonstrations and not body temperature strawberry preserves. Or heaven forfend actual uterine lining…
Smiling happy women reclining in a bath, shaving off foam to reveal glossy perfect legs, is shorthand for the reality of what actually happens.

Bad Graph says: 0.75% of 8 year olds were diagnosed in 2000 versus 3.2% in 2020.
Correlation =/= causation.
How have the diagnostic criteria changed in 20 years? Autism was a stigma when I was in high school in 2000, now it’s a spectrum. Are there routine screenings at pediatricians now?
Number go up, but what else go up simultaneously?
I hate it here.

Whether the Newport Jazz Festival was in Europe, because she knew it was in Europe, because that’s the only time she’d been to Europe.
Difficulty rating: we were within 100 miles of Newport, Rhode Island, at the time. 2 hours in a car.
