Lol, this made me think of that medium from one of those paranormal shows on the Travel Channel who is always supposedly nauseous or in pain when at a haunted site because of the evil ghosts. I guess she’s either the real deal or a better actor than the rest of them (the second one is my guess).  

Get them to make a plastic version! It’ll probably be cheaper and then the cats can’t break it and you can have the photo ops!

Rebecca, I appreciate the Cabaret reference! Also, a theater group at my school was performing Cabaret the weekend before the 2016 election, and the entire time I watched the show I was like, “Is this foreshadowing the trajectory of our country? I really hope not...” I wish my instincts had been wrong. 

Tbh, the one good thing about the pumpkin spice craze is that a lot of coffee shops have followed suit their own version of the PSL, so you have a good chance of finding one that makes a PSL more to your taste. Gregory’s, which is a small chain in NYC, has their own PSL, which is not nearly as sickeningly sweet as…

Yeah, but if he does manage to beat Ted Cruz, there are probably a good chunk of voters who will want him to serve his full term before subjecting them to the possibility of that seat going back to the GOP. 

Yep, and part of what made me so upset were my white family members who voted Trump, despite being related to minorities. My dad’s side of the family is Costa Rican, but he and his siblings all married white people, one of whom definitely voted for Trump (not my mom, thank goodness). My mom and her siblings are white,…

I’m fine with some of the speaking gigs Chelsea’s been doing lately, like being on a panel at the place she went to grad school, doing a Q&A session at a event for reproductive rights, to name a few. 1) Since she went to grad school for public health, events like these allow her talk about things she would be more of…

This! There’s a reason why many workplaces forbid romantic relationships between managers and their direct reports, and sometimes even just coworkers who aren’t managing or being managed by each other. Even if those relationships would be between two consenting adults, a manager dating a direct report opens up the…

I remember posting a Facebook status the day after the 2016 election about how as a Latina, the results make me feel unwelcome in my own country and that whether Trump voters like it or not, voting for him meant that even if you didn’t consider yourself a racist, at the very least you tolerate racism. Some white woman…

I went to a Halloween event that included a talk about burial shrouds that was given by a funeral home director. And while I did wonder if part of it was trying to advertise her business, she did raise good points about how people should consider slowing down the process of burying/cremating their dead loved one’s…

Yep, was just going to say the same thing. The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline also saw increases in call volume right after the 2016 election.

He could branch out like Ryan Phillipe and date a 22 year old law school student! (Okay, granted, I am unsure of when exactly he dated this woman, but I know for sure one of his more recent exes went to law school with one of my friends from undergrad). 

My college had themed (like Disney, Harry Potter, Nintendo- yes, my school was full of nerds) lingerie parties every year around Halloween, and even though going to said party meant being scantily clad, people still put a lot of effort into their outfits.

Lol, I think I did spoil that for my mom back when Snape kills Dumbledore would still have been considered a spoiler.

I just finished off a bag of their scotchmallows that my sister gave me earlier this month. I want more. =(

Also, if a woman is in an abusive relationship, she likely has no say about whether or not her abuser uses a condom. And if her abuser engages in reproductive coercion methods beyond refusing to use a condom, she may not even be able to use methods of birth control that are tailored for women.

Yeah, I feel like if Joanna hadn’t mentioned that it was a difficult pregnancy than this would be a non-issue. However, she did mention that, so when Chip talks about wanting another kid without mentioning whether or not Joanna was on board or that even if he wanted another kid, it was up to Joanna since she’s the one…

Yeah, a lot times when people want a child of a specific gender, they’re like, “Oh, I want a son so I can teach him how to play football,” or, “I want a daughter so I can give her my old dolls.” And it’s like, you can do those things with a child of any gender if you’re willing to get over your hangups about gender…

Yeah, this. Although some celebrities are so famous that trying to meet them and get an autograph after a concert or show may be impossible, I was able to briefly meet one of my favorite comedians after one of his shows, who also happens to live in the same city as me. Because it was an official event, he had no…

I mean, on the one hand, yes, it’s not surprising that fans would get excited when they see a celebrity they like on the street, and being rude or mean to your fans would potentially be career damaging. However, I think fans also need to realize that if you’re seeing a celebrity walking down the street, they’re…
