Wait I’m able to select just some text from the app, and not just a paragraph at a time. Am I misunderstanding?

Huh! No you're not misunderstanding, that's exactly the thing I (and others) can't do, when I hold down on some text I get a "Copy" button appear which copies the paragraph, that's all that happens. Is this an android/ios difference? (I'm on android)

Me too and I feel stupid for blaming it on the political climate but I also feel like it's a bit of a fucking coincidence

right?? it started on inauguration day and gets worse when this hell administration does anything, but it also never goes away when i’m thinking about more pleasant things.

The first three you listed here are three of my favorite musicians, so I’m definitely checking out the rest of these (I’ve heard Aesop Rock and A Tribe Called Quest before, of course)

Can you explain the fat slider comic to me? I don't play a lot of video games

sure thing!

basically, some video games allow you to create your own character (e.g. Skyrim, Fallout, Saints Row, Dragon Age) and a portion of those games give you the option of adjusting your characters weight

now, when players adjust the weight for the male character, the fat gets distributed the same way it would for an average fat person. tummy, thighs, arms, neck, etc.

but for the female character, because of fatphobia and sexist beauty standards and just general sexism in the video game industry, they get “sexy” fat, meaning the weight gets distributed only to the boobs, hips and butt. theres no double chin or big belly or thick arms because thats considered “ugly” and the media can never portray a woman that doesnt fit into narrow beauty standards

i hope this helps!!

Did you mean to post that Amazon spam?

Yes. I’m poor. I’m a mom with two kids and I work but it’s only one income and it’s not enough. If I can get 100 to spend on my kids I will take it.

I’m sorry.
