Bless his heart.

My five year old would actually like the concept of the Et-ting Zoo, I think. She's constantly asking me to confirm if various animals are "made of meat".

Reading Rainbow was my childhood, and LeVar Burton is a god amongst men. BRB, gotta wipe this mascara off my chin.

One thing I've noticed in heterosexual situations:

I think we should listen to forensic psychologists. Step one would be this:

"feeling like no one attracted to you and people think you're a creep sucks."

Even with a signed document, there is going to be pressure to not use them because that is how people wish to see porn at this time. A signed document protects the producer but it does little to protect the actor who wants to use them and feels they will get a bad reputation (and no work) if they insist on it.

Of course this will lead the porn industry into looking at what other states they will create porn in. Maybe Florida; we're the poor man's California as it is.

This Lifehacker coffee series is turning me into a coffee snob. That's not a bad thing on those days when I have enough time to make a decent cuppa before rushing out the door to work.

As a someone who is a chemist, I wouldn't consider Titanium Dioxide a true metal, just like I don't consider rust (Iron Oxide) to be a metal.

but you have to look NATURALLY and EFFORTLESSLY hot though. Otherwise you're one of those shallow attention whores who wears makeup to the gym. :/

This was me all last night. I fumed for HOURS reading comments of men sympathizing with the killer's plight. I was so mad I just didn't know what to do about it. I posted a minor rant to social media and it was derailed within minutes by a man, delegitimizing my voice and opinion because there are bigger issues out…

And it's comments like yours that highlight that men need feminism, too. My friend tagged me in this picture on Facebook awhile ago, just reposting it.

Since Saturday I have been completely dismissive and unwilling to speak with anyone who challenges me even in the slightest about any of this. I'm not sorry about it either.

"I'm furious that my parents ingrained in me from a very young age that I should never wear heels because I should always be ready to run at a moment's notice"

This is beautiful Madeleine. Thank you for writing this.
And this:

Oh man, I loved that show. I used to work at a bookstore and one day I was telling a customer about a great book, and inadvertently said "But don't take my word for it." When the customer bought the book, my coworker came over and said "Did you just Reading Rainbow that guy? That was awesome!" And I said, "I think I…

bottom line- if a considerable group of people think a term or phrase is problematic, hurtful or just plain unwanted, why would you have a problem eliminating it from your vocabulary? Who cares beyond wanting to be a decent person that aims to treat others with respect?
