Ned was a friend of mine. Not a close friend, but very much more than just an acquaintance. I first met him through a mutual friend around 2005 in NYC, and knew immediately (like instantly, no exaggeration) that he was one of the most genuine, good-hearted people I'd ever encountered. He just radiated that kind of…

Realized that a while after I posted. But depending how balanced the booze group was, I'd imagine the control would have an equal distribution of heavy and light drinkers (or heavy and light immune systems?) (This is, of course, a guess, so, grain of salt)
GAWKER us canadians can't view these clips and it makes me oh so sad.
I can't wait for someone who's religion dictates pacifism to sue the government for making them pay taxes that are used to fund the military. Sure they're not being forced to personally participate in war, but the government is forcing them to contribute money to something they don't believe in. It's totally…
I've said it before and I'll say it again: repeal 501(c)(3) tax exemptions for religious organizations.
As a business owner my personal religious beliefs prohibit me from offering benefits to Catholics. That's okay now, right?
I haven't given birth to our child yet, but my husband and I are both hairy people and he has a unibrow (which he plucks) so I am assuming our future child will have one, too.
Make it black and white with just sad sax music in the background. Call it the most beautiful thing you've ever seen.
Best metaphor for the 99% I've ever seen. Sad. Art.

Wait, I know Veronica Osorio! She's hilarious. Here's a sample:
The painting works better if you imagine her not pregnant but simply bloated after a massive Chipotle binge and ready for some loud lovin'.
Here it is!
I actually kept taking it to a place where "a garden" is a euphemism for pubic hair, and then imagined Mark Driscoll taking teeny tiny gardening shears and making elaborate topiary designs out of his wife's "garden". "This week, we're going to do abstract swirls, and then next week, I'm going to try to get in both an…
As a white south african woman, I can only speak as the minority, but I enjoyed reading this article and being reminded that thanks to Madiba, we have one of the most progressive constitutions in the world. It is so important for us South Africans trying to rebuild a way of being, to be reminded of the achievements if…
That's part of the 'fatphobia' that Dodai was talking about. Some people are terrified of becoming fat so they look at somebody who is and can't help but place their own insecurities onto them.
Quite honestly, I think some people are threatened by the notion that appearance, which they work really hard to get/maintain, is not everything. I think they feel threatened if a person simply does not care about being overweight or chooses not to spend hours in the gym or eat a restricted diet in order to get a…
As someone who WAS NOT clever last time around (my son was born in early September) I can say without hesitation—we are extremely clever.
And now I will dive deep into a Unicorn Sweater wormhole. Because I'd rather do that than fold laundry right now...
