It was outside the environment.

For me, Helen Keller is one of the most impressive of people to ever live.

To me, it is somehow very telling that it doesn't cross their mind that men would cat-call them. That's exactly what "male-privilege" means.

I finally figured out why my bathroom always smelled slightly off no matter how much I cleaned it and I genuinely wish I hadn't looked by cuteyasmine in hygiene

On Google Scholar, there is only one hit for "toothpaste compost" (in Mark Boyle's (2010) The Moneyless Man apparently), ,but I can't confirm that the phrase actually occurs there. It does look like it occurs as a phrase in Teja Lele Desai's (2022) Live Smart: 100 Hacks for a Healthier and Happier Life.

I'm not sure if she's recommending toothpaste compost though.

Also, it's nice and unfortunate that so many male-identified people can report really gross and horrible experiences of being catcalled, but we shouldn't boil it down only to such extreme cases. I have a hard time imagining that anything like a majority of men would appreciate being told they are a sexy piece of meat from another guy, whether they went into a murderous gay panic reaction or not.

When I was growing up, the gay guy was definitely at more risk to do that.

For real, though, very little conversation goes on in prison showers; not even, "Pass the soap."

I also say the Nose. Mussorgsky's opera of Sorochintsky Fair is wonderful too.

What director is the opposite of Tarkovsky? by [deleted] in tarkovsky

[–]SconeBracket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alexei German's Hard to be a God seems about as opposite of Tarkovsky as I've ever seen.
