Get That Look: Miss Frizzle

Yeah, Mark Bittman thinks you’re spending too much time and effort making rice pudding, so here’s one that seems easier but probably isn’t.

If you’re brown, or feel like brown people are your fellow humans, maybe don’t spend money in Arizona except on performance art and bubble tea or something? I just got my ten-year green card after waiting longgggg after my two-year green card expired (the government takes forever to turn them around DID YOU KNOW?) and because I am the whitest white person ever, it never came up and nobody cared and I flew and broke minor traffic laws and no one said shit to me about proving my legal presence in this country and that’s all I have to say about being asked for your papers.

11 things [The New Statesman] hopes to see on Buzzfeed UK

“When I was married in the ’70s I sewed my own dress, an Yves Saint Laurent peasant dress pattern in a cotton/poly blend, embroidered with white violets. I loved it then and I love it now. I have never worn it again though I have thought about doing it many, many times. The only clue that it was a wedding dress is that it is white. It would fit in perfectly in a summer tea party at some old/vintage hotel setting. Before I ask the kids if they would approve, what do you think of my asking them if I could wear it to the rehearsal and dinner the day before the wedding?” — That sounds pretty! My best friend’s mom crocheted a bikini in the ’70s and I wish she had worn it to my wedding, because literally everyone looked amazing in the 1970s.

“In 2012, the museum held a show entitled “Women” — but the works shown were by three men, who took the female form as their subject.” — Sexism in the German art world.

That thing you do to distract yourself from the evils of the world is one of the evils of the world.
