I've suffered from eating disorders (bouncing dynamically btwn anorexia, bulimia and exercise bulimia) for about 19 years now. My mother was basically Kesha's Dr. Luke (if he said those things). As much as my mother hounded me, put me on fad diets, took me to "doctors" to get me prescribed phen phen, etc., there

Yes! Thank you for saying that — and I am just totally agreeing with you that those people annoy the gluten-able and the true GF alike. People should eat what they want, but it should be the individual's responsibility to mind their own diet. Don't inconvenience people if you aren't willing to be inconvenienced

I have Celiac Disease (the Queen of Gluten Problems) and I would've punched this woman. I apologize for her. We don't like her either.

God. Stop with the click bait titles. She's not going to jail for shopping, she's going to jail because she violated the conditions of her house arrest. Dont leave your house seems pretty easy to understand.

THANK YOU. Not that prisoners should all be treated as if they're all in solitary confinement, but the point of being locked away is being locked AWAY. Jail is a punishment; it would be cruel to remove all contact with the outside world and cause even more problems for when they're released, but to give prisoners the

I'm a huge believer in rehabilitation - that prison isn't just there for punishment.

I think the bigger issue is that they can't be a part of their wives or girlfriends' lives like they would if they weren't incarcerated.

Thank you. I didn't want to be the first one to be an asshole and say it, but I agree with you completely. They can't "like" their girlfriends parking lot selfies, boo hoo. This is ridiculous, and frankly, it makes me take the whole article less seriously. It takes away from the very real hardships these women go

I'm supposed to feel sorry for people because they can't Instagram? Fuck right off.

My point is that people have existed without these things since almost forever. I can feel for the women involved but social media is not an inalienable human right and prisoners do not need it.

Prisons have existed for literally thousands of years. Prisoners do not need to Instagram in order to carry out relationships. People can still visit and accept phone calls or they can write a fucking letter like they did back in the Dark Ages, aka before 1997.

"This exclusion from the world of social media means that prisoners can't maintain the social-media relationships that most of us take for granted."

I mean, she's one of the only people who took the punk theme seriously; her hair sucked, but the dress was amazing.

Can you tell us about the basis of your belief that self-injury was "very very rare" before recent decades? I'm not aware of any statistical patterns of change, and to be frank, your claims seem more rooted in anecdotal experience than in a factual understanding of the issue.

This was also my experience exactly. I expected "WOW!!!" but it was more like "not bad".

That would be so classy!

Yes! This! I often express frustration over being forced to hug - or, god forbid, cheek kiss - people I DO NOT WANT to touch. Now I have this reputation for hating hugging, and my siblings will laughingly tell me, "We are going to hug goodbye now, even though I know you hate it!" I don't hate hugging; I just don't

Nottoway IS in Louisiana - just like the movie! It's would have been perfect.

The anti-thinspo crowd isn't necessarily about thin-shaming though. Thinspo/fitspo is harmful and kind of twisted regardless of what size you actually are.

Wearing a bikini bottom 3 sizes too big = instant bikini bridge.
