Good attempt.

Agreed. I also think the people sitting around Nigella in the restaurant had more of a responsibility to intervene if they saw the choking than the photographer across the street with the telephoto lens.

As a survivor of domestic violence, I am going to voice what may seem really weird to you. I'm glad he kept snapping the pictures.

Fuck these people telling you that after someone is mocking and rude to you, you always have to take the high ground and be the better person. This is bullshit. Sure, that kind of attitude is fine for work, for most areas of life, actually. But sometimes, you need to be just as foul, just as crass as the people who…

So why are you holding her to a higher standard than the cabbie? Why is it ok for the cabbie to shame, mistreat and abuse a car full of people but god forbid she fights back in the only way that would be effective against that kind of jackass? Or are you under the impression that a calm, well reasoned argument on the…

Good for you, standing up and not taking shit from people.

Neither is being fat. Didn't seem to stop him, though.

Oh god don't start a post with "no offense" and proceed to offend someone. It's really lame.

Knowing that someone is making fun of you is not having a chip on your shoulder. It's an assumption. Just like the assumption we didn't dance or go to clubs, the bullshit he was suggesting to do wasn't something that could be misinterpreted. He actually said things about us not dancing or drinking but just wanting…

The first time I ever flew was in 2002. I weighed 376lbs and was heading to a hospital to meet a surgeon for a gastric bypass because I had literally exhausted all my options. The airport to the city I was going to was terribly small as was the airport (or they both could have seemed small because of how LARGE I was)…

I COMPLETELY cosign this. I am a small person and I inevitably get seated next to some business dude who decides that since I'm not using all the space I paid for, they are entitled to it. On Southwest, I frequently choose a seat next to a larger person because I am sure they are uncomfortable on planes and sitting…

don't you figure the original ranter/writer is one of Those Guys that simply MUST take up every bit of space (and then some) because his balls are so freaking big? I rather doubt he spends a milisecond worrying about the woman sitting next to him that must tuck herself into a smaller ball so he can spread his legs as…

Thanks for this.

I don't know how or why, but it still shocks me how absolutely HORRENDOUS people can be. You know what? Flying is RIDICULOUS under the best of circumstances. It is even worse if you know that everyone on the plane is not-so-secretly judging you. And for all the people who think that it's only overweight people who…

My entire family is obese. And, I'm not saying obese to be mean; I'm a doctor and they medically fit the criteria for obesity. I see the way that people look at them when we all board a plane together. Quite honestly the only thing that holds me back from slapping those judgmental assholes in the face is that I…

I know, but I have mixed feelings. My inner queer girl is saying "Yaaaay!" while my inner person-with-alcoholic-relatives is saying "Oh shit..." Michelle Rodriguez has had a lot of issues with alcohol in the past and these pics are not a good look for her recovery process.

Alicia Silverstone, is that you?

It's gonna be a good day.

Michelle Rodriguez making out with a girl at a basketball game? This is the happiest lesbian Wednesday ever.
