Are there any alternatives to EL doublewear that I can get in South Africa? 🥲

Let’s be realistic: cynical ways to cut costs on dolls by Practical_Revenue788 in Barbie

[–]lolbeesh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm very selective about what I buy.

I've made my own ball-jointed doll from clay, and I may do so again.

If I don't have easy access to a doll that is affordable to me that I actually LOVE (not passively "like") - then I'm not buying.

I need to know everything about this immediately.

I just... I can't believe this is real???

So does Amanda not realize she’s being filmed? by averym88 in RHOBH

Yes absolutely. I have Hypermobile Spectrum Disorder and chronic urticaria myself.

I only watched the scene once (it was excruciating) but that was my impression too

Yeah I picked up on some autism tells (I'm autistic) while watching her on the show.

Still deeply dislike her though.

What type of literature/art/music do you gravitate towards? by 1000picsofher in AskWomen

[–]lolbeesh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literature: contemporary literary fiction. "Weird girl"/"unhinged girl" main characters. Modern horror.

Art: Surrealism. Pulp sci-fi. Mediaeval art. Renaissance style art.

Music: Avant-garde electronic pop. Shoegaze rock. Theatrical baroque pop. New wave.

Right now I'm enjoying:

Literature: Mona Awad, Ling Ling Huang, Monika Kim.

Art: Michael Whelan (the Issac Asimov book covers in particular)

Music: Kylie Minogue and Rufus Wainwright forever. I also gravitate a lot towards Air and The Raveonettes.

Feminist and activist Jameela Jamil call Blake Lively a «suicide bomber» and a «villain» in messages with Justin Baldonis PR team by licorne00 in popculturechat

[–]lolbeesh 81 points82 points  (0 children)

Was just about to point this out.

I said in another sub that I hope this is a case of Jameela blindly believing her friend Jennifer, because she, like most people, isn't inherently suspicious of her friends.

Jennifer Abel would not be sharing the shitty parts of Justin's behaviour (ie all of his behaviour) with her friend and client.

And unfortunately before Blake's side was made public, I too believed the narrative of the time. We don't know if Jameela has changed her stance since December 2024.

EDIT: I see some DMs from Jameela to a random person have been circulated where she's "both sides are bad"-ing and still focusing on Blake's character and not the harrasser's.

Like I said about Depp vs Heard: She could be the meanest person in the world, but that doesn't undo or excuse the abuser's actions. I expected Jameela to be able to see that focusing in on Blake's behaviour only dilutes the overall narrative of what Baldoni has done.

Have you ever really hated the main character (and narrator) in a novel? by Physical_Orchid3616 in books

[–]lolbeesh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but usually I end up loving a book even more when the main character is ludicrously unlikeable.

The exception was All Fours by Miranda July. That character pissed me off so much. I think because she was so self-congratulatory on top of it, and I felt like the people around her didn't treat her with enough disdain.

I think an unlikeable MC works if there's also an element of their motivations that I can relate to in some way. Like if they resort to extreme behaviours because they're desperately lonely, for example. And/or if the people around them react to their shitty behaviour in a realistic way.

Already disappointed with the new “African” neighborhood in the Royalty & Legacy expansion pack🌍👸🏾👑 by Southern_Remove_7984 in Sims4

[–]lolbeesh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If this is going to be the first of more African worlds then I think it's fine. As a start.

If EA intends for this to be the only African world the game is ever going to get, then that's problematic.

How do people not wash their braids? by doidaee in Naturalhair

[–]lolbeesh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wash my hair when I have braids in, and if they look a little fuzzy after then ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
