The character named Esme is something like a hundred years old (she's a vampire), so it's not meant to be a modern name.

What on earth is "e-tro?" Google tells me that it's "the seasoned traveler's one-stop shop for covetable jetset style," but I imagine that's not what you were getting at.

They can throw off your electrolyte levels (which can stop your heart or cause seizures, among other issues), cause massive dehydration or overhydration, or perforate your intestines. And all for no good reason, unless you need one before surgery or for a barium enema or something. Just eat some fiber and fresh fruits

I hope they're *still* living a long, happy life together, with lots of adorable grandkids who beg to play dress up in Aunt Flower Girl's dress!

No, not at all. Breastfeeding in uniform is, in general, fine. Wearing your official uniform to a private function or to promote a cause without permission is not fine.

I wonder if that's what was done for this picture—it takes a few days, so the flowers may not have been fresh enough for the wedding. They may have just hand-picked flowers in the exact right shades, although that would have been quite a job!

Add food coloring to the water to dye your flowers! We used to do it almost every week when I was a kid—my parents would cut some flowers from the yard and let us pick what color to make them. We came up with some awesome mixes, like putting white flowers in red water for two days so just the edges of the petals would

People in advocacy campaigns for the military get permission from their command to wear their uniforms on those shows.

Much as I love Georgia O'Keefe, I think her work is much too symbolic. Just replace all the artwork with big pictures of vaginas.

That is such a good fucking question. I am totally serious.

Promoted for excellence. Use your new power for good. :)

"Women aren't allowed to breastfeed while in uniform"

I'm promoting this, but it's so awesome, I want to give it a hug and a hot cup of tea and watch Downton Abbey with it. The phrase "mixed company" should have disappeared about ninety fucking years ago.

A 20-weeks-along fetus doesn't look like a ball of cells—it basically looks like a very small baby, with little thumbs it can suck and little legs to paddle around with. Maybe you meant a 2-week ball of cells?

Don't give her a fucking pass. She knows perfectly well that her employer is sexist and racist as all hell, and she chooses to work for them anyway. The fact that she hides her intelligence to be one of the blonde bimbos Fox wants all its "news" anchors to be just makes it more enraging.

Yup. That is one link I am happy to leave unclicked forever.

That was almost as revolting as the actual post. Between the two of them, I kind of want to die now.

Magnetic wristbands to hold pins are esoteric? Haven't everyone's grandmas been using those to hold sewing pins since about 1920? I know for a fact you can buy them in every Joann's Fabrics in the world.
