Take the simple choice of which coffee beans to buy at the grocery store. You may see one bag for $7 labeled “Fair Trade” and another for $5 without the certification. I can’t wrap my head around why we as consumers are OK with ethical treatment being an extra “feel good” option when in reality paying people a living wage is the right thing to do.

britticisms:
I went to Sephora after work today which was a bad decision all-around. I hate Sephora and yet I’ve gone there more times in the past month than I have in the past five years. Every afternoon before I arrive, I tell myself that I will find a product that will make me feel happier when I know that makeup does not heal the sort of dull depression (the weight loss, the insomnia) that...

This is like the amazing pinkish ketchup bread at Spring Street Natural. Just put it in your mouth.
Ew. I kind of want to try this, but I can’t be the one to make it. Not just because, you know, I can’t make it, but because I’ll just be thinking about the Velveeta thing when I try it. I’d ask SMM to volunteer,...

boyshorts give me the ultimate coochie weggie

I’m damn near convinced boy shorts are evil. No panties, tho? Under jeans and stuff? Shit’s uncomfortable :-\
Boy shorts are cute, but not comfortable for me, either. In fact, none of these options are comfortable. I’m all about the full-coverage underoos. The ones that aren’t...

Men who buy sex: who they buy and what they know →

gauntlet:
This report has included details of the often significant knowledge held by buyers about women in prostitution, and their frank discussions of their experiences buying sex. Following are some highlights of findings from this report.
1. Fifty-five per cent of 103 London men who bought sex believed that a majority of people in prostitution were lured, tricked or trafficked....
Who goes out quite a bit?
bbook:
Not only in New York. But in other cities as well. And would like to talk to one of us?
Just respond to this here post. We’ll get in touch with you! Maybe!
Define quite a bit. If by that you mean slowly but surely populating foursquare with venues one postal code at a time instead of, say, pursing a postgrad, then perhaps?

“Oh whatever. I can’t be bothered to be upset about stupid people on the internet.” But then it occurred to me that, for some unfortunate souls, these aren’t just stupid people on the internet. These are people’s dumb ass, judge-y relatives. This is the dick that sits next to someone at work, making their lives a living hell. These are people who vote for assholes and their asshole...

to remember what the first movie I saw at the movies was. I can vaguely remember Steve Martin climbing in or out of a window. I’m about 75% sure that it was My Blue Heaven.
If it is My Blue Heaven, my parents were those assholes who brought a screaming child into a theater.
I’m pretty sure the first I remember was Harry and the Hendersons, though I...

On Being the Girl On the Subway
meloukhia:
Setting my actual gender aside for the moment, I’m usually read as a woman, which means that I get to experience the full delights of misogyny in flower as illustrated by the Tumblr Staff earlier.
Being the girl on the [public transit] isn’t cute, or funny. It’s just shitty.
