"I just don't think she's ready for school," Jan remembers the woman saying to her. "She needs to come back when it calms down next semester."

I'm pretty sure that if you've been a vegetarian for more than 30 years, you can come up with more examples of 'live and let live' veggies than you can those proselytizing ones.

The FDA's definition of mayonnaise as containing egg yolk was probably just the result of Hellman's lobbying to keep cheaper (at the time) products like Miracle Whip from getting too close.

i buy drugstore makeup, but I also buy high end makeup. Why can't I do both? The reality is that there are some high end products that don't have even vaguely comparable drugstore dupes.

Oh my god, Rihanna, stop it. If you feel like you have an allergy to boob coverage, can you please stick to this and not whatever this white/silver/purple monstrosity is? Fucking strangely placed cutouts and mismatching hosiery and nylons with open toed shoes...ughhhhh.

lmaooo okay you get moist and blot your vagina in public?!

There is PDA and there is sex in public. The French do not have sex in/on public streets, and neither does anyone else. I don't care how cool or liberal you think this is, sex in public is vulgar and extremely disrespectful behavior. Other people, including children, live in the world around you; are we all supposed…

The car was on a public street in front of a business and the door was wide open because they were half out of it.

Wrong. Having sex in broad daylight with the door open is lewd. It is literally the definition of a lewd act. I would be horrified and totally grossed out to the max. And I'm as chill as the next person.

"Her hair and makeup are perfect also."

She truly deserves this. She survived the Taliban's bullet, but most importantly, survived the Taliban's rhetoric.

I am so sick of this admonition that because a person cannot reproduce physically, they should automatically be altruistic and adopt a "needy" kid instead of a healthy baby. Being a parent is hard enough. Not everyone feels up to voluntarily signing on for extra challenges, especially if they are already emotionally…

Sugar's natural. Just go back to using sugar. It tastes great too, unlike Stevia!

I think they're insistent about it because the race thing IS a big issue apart from the wrong sperm (which is ALSO a big issue). If you read all the mother's quotes, she's not saying she doesn't want Payton because she's black. She's saying SHE has very little contact with black people, her community is close-minded,…

Seriously - to say that she shouldn't sue but should just pick up and move to one of the most expensive cities in the country on her own is so privilege-blind and tone-deaf it is shocking. This woman probably loves her child and is desperate to do whatever it takes to get the resources it will take to care for her…

I agree. I don't like it when people address a problem by saying "just move." Jobs are not easy to come by these days, and having a community (even a racist one?) is not something that is so easy to give up. Move to San Fransisco? Yeah, right, because that place is so affordable. Liberal bastions of progressive racial…

Yes yes yes!! My two faves are her green suit (those gloves! That netted hat!) and the gold floral dress. Both stand the test of time.

well, tbh this is a very real fear for many lesbians, and it's rooted in societal imbalance. in society, if you're with a straight man, you have a certain amount of privilege. lesbians are at the bottom of the totem pole. i think there's this sunconscious (or conscious) fear that we can't provide in the way a man can.…

I want those shoes, now please.
