I WILL BE YOUR FRIEND

For the tone of this piece, I love you so much.

YOU ARE A GENIUS YOU JUST SOLVED THE PROBLEM OF WORLD PEACE WHY DID WE NEVER THINK OF CONFORMITY

No, dude. The big headphones mean he likes to listen to music without lots of outside noise blocking it out. If you saw a white guy wearing big headphones, would you assume he was listening to rap? How about an Asian guy?

The difference here is that you had to say "white male wearing a cowboy hat" instead of just "white male."

I spent $50 on my dress, because I found the perfect dress and it happened to be vintage from a small town's second hand store. Definitely did not feel like I had to spend more on it for it to be real. I <3 it forever.

The difference is that weaves and chemically straightened hair are reversible processes. You can take out a weave and grow out straightened hair. Skin bleaching is non-reversible.

Sarah, honey, the rest of the world is not looking to the U.S. as a shining example of all that is good and holy. We aren't lost in the dark without a strong and decisive U.S. leading the way. We just don't miss you as much as you think we do.

BATTLESHIPS INTO "CERTAIN AREAS" IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN

Junk is all genitalia. Therefore not breasts. :/

Wait so... it's a change you think should happen, but only for the next generation? Also, "low-paid workers" comment smacks of snobbery.

Then world leaders can deal with someone having green hair. I have never once understood the shitstorm about colourful hair and I think it's high time we all got over it.

Newt Gingrich being a glaring hypocrite? Relevant to his work as a politician. Green hair? Not so much.

Dude, criticizing religion is fine by me. Criticizing religious people for decisions they make based on their religion is also fine. Criticizing religious people blindly just because they are religious is not okay, especially when it involves not actually paying attention to what they're saying.

I... don't understand this comment? Maybe I should have said "repressed". Wasn't talking about systematic oppression, anyone who argues that Christians are systematically oppressed in North America is a dumbass. I was referring to the attitude that anyone religious is somehow enslaved in their mind.

I am very, very tired of the religion-snarking on Jez. It's like the minute you mention God, anything else you say flies out the window and it's just "loooook at this poor dumb person oppressed by religion!!!"

No, she's saying that there is more to who she is than just her physical body, and that helps her transcend any temptation toward body negativity. She remembers that she is more than how she physically presents. But the fact that she writes about appreciating her health proves that she also cares about the physical…

PREACH

I think my muscles spasmed tighter to help with healing. I'm still quite newly postpartum, but everything is tighter, and my pelvic floor is stronger.

yeah, but I gave them all away. To the Duggars.
