She'd never have made this plea to a male author. The world is always big enough for more male musicians and writers, but it shrinks right up for women. Anyone who makes a splash in the music world is always "the next ____" fill in the blank. The next Madonna, the next Sheryl Crow, the next Taylor Swift, the next,…

She has a point. That's exactly how other entertainment industries works. The Seahawks all retired when they won the Super Bowl, Beyoncé will never make another album since she broke all those records, and tom hanks hasn't been in a movie since "Big."

No word yet on whether they'll soon start allowing the lobster, filet mignon, and cigarette purchases your one conservative uncle always swears he's seen people buying with WIC during your annual Thanksgiving political referendum.

I actually like season 3 more than season 2. It does suffer from them getting a half run of episodes (so they wrap up a lot in the first half of the season) and then getting more episodes (so they start some cool new plots but then you end on a cliffhanger).

I just keep reminding myself that I'm a member of the patriarchy and then everything is all better.

I volunteered in a WIC clinic one summer educating clients on how to use their farmer's market vouchers. Yup, we gave them FREE MONEY to spend on LOCAL ORGANIC PRODUCE at the FARMER'S MARKET. Take that, crazy uncle!

What, you're not rich?! You must not care enough about your daughter to work hard enough to provide her with a proper one-man-one-woman traditional home and good private Christian education, you gay pinko commie! You hate America, don't you, and I bet you even have *shudder* some shade of brown-ish skin rather than…

This one time, when I waited in line in the check-out at Whole Foods (checking my iPhone 7.3), I saw a mother with WIC vouchers buy like ... six containers of formula and then drive off in a car.

I was so distressed that I accidentally chipped my French manicure re-adjusting my Lululemon pants.

Welfare people, you…

I was adopted into a white family from South Korea. I grew up in Minnesota and every now and then people made innocently rude comments. Very, very rarely would they be on the level of what this woman is reporting her children have experienced. So I don't know ... Either this woman lives somewhere where people are…

You know what's really nice? Being able to take my daughter to the doctor when I need to without worrying about being able to make the mortgage this month.

To the couple: When I was first out of college, my sister's father died and I had to choose between petitioning for custody, letting her go into foster care, living a with a friend of the family, or going back to live with our very inept, unstable mother. She's been with me now for almost six years, and while I would…

The gross racist behavior is upsetting and so is the creepy, 'I'm not going to accept no' behavior. My hairs went up on the back of my neck reading that blurb.

It seems recently in the news there've been several incidents where people were super racist to her. I never thought I'd be in the position of feeling sorry for Kim Kardashian, but here I am.

Have people always been this awful to Kim or am I just noticing this now? That is creepy, sick, and so upsetting. Awful.

Porto's (both the Burbank and Glendale locations) is amazing. But if you compare it to all the similar Cuban spots in South Florida, it will have a hard time cracking the top 30.

I am aware of the dearth of books out there.

Yes, it's gorgeous, yes it has a couple technically brilliant set pieces, but man, I can't for the life of me get into this film. Saw it in the theater, hated it, gave it another chance, hated it more.

From a story standpoint, the invading dreams thing (the overly elaborate way they did it) is too silly. From a drama…
