Is the kitty's name Caterina Meowskova?

It was an amazing episode. My second would be Poussey's backstory, though not as dramatic, was still unexpected to me.

That's exactly what I do with LillithSon. He's 7, and when he really messes up he loses his iPad privileges. Ironically we just got him a Wii Mini for Christmas so that will also go "away" when necessary. I love him more than anything and he's a good, kind child for the most part and I intend to keep it that way. …

This is a shitstorm on top of a clusterfuck. I too think something did happen to Jackie but exactly what who can say except her. Now everyone is in cover thy ass mode, and I don't know what to think except that this is a nightmare for victims of assault especially on campuses. I'd also love to know if say the…

I looked at his twitter he's now threatening her to admit the "truth" TO HIM, or he'll release unsavory details about her. He's just a delightful human.

Even commenters on his site (the minority sadly) are warning him to take the picture down as it either may not even be the correct Jackie, and to avoid her coming to harm. But of course they're being shouted down by the "all women are hysterical lying liars" "all feminazis hate men" charmers.

It wasn't just you. My son is seven and I'm always really cautious about keeping him away from the edge of the platforms. So even as I was watching this cuteness I had low level anxiety the whole time. /NeuroticNewYorker

I PROMISE you, if you have interests and other things besides motherhood and family life you will still be interested and be able to discuss them. At first when the baby is new and you're adjusting it can be hard. But if you're capable of having other interests and intellectual conversations that will not change if…

OOh sorry to butt in but thank you, I'm hoping to go to Vienna in December so I'll check it out too. And I also am super aware of bad American behavior stereotypes (and I've seen enough first hand to make me want to claim Canadian citizenship) so I also can be hyperaware of how I dress and behave.

She sounded Northern to me. A little Brummie perhaps? Brits, your expertise please.

That was my reaction. I've partaken in more than a couple all you can drink brunches and don't recall ever getting more than a nice buzz, nor seeing anyone in the shape these people are in. And the drinks I had didn't seem terribly watered down. Then again I never had more than 5-6 probably. Maybe they have…

No Nellie was described as willowy and fashionable in the books. And I don't think her TV character became fat, but she DID become pregnant (after marriage of course).

I was always oddly fascinated by the descriptions of what they ate. Particularly in Farmer Boy.

Yep, if you haven't read Susan Sontag piece on it written for, I think, the New Yorker in the 1970's. She talks about the aesthetic appeal and coined the phrase "that fascinatin' facism". I was able to find it online.

I'm only being semi-facetious when I say a I think a large part of the appeal is those smokin' uniforms and snappy goose steps.

Aww this is Zen Master Shiro (the big boy on the far right) and his housemates. They are the world's most chill cats. Their owner puts all manner of wacky stuff on their heads and they sit placidly through most of it. I happily wait for new videos to appear on their youtube channel.

Even more terrifying than these quotes is the gushing reviews this book is receiving. Look, I know people have different tastes, I get it. But this seems to have been written by a person not even fluent in English and with limited sexual experience. So basically the average American I suppose.

I saw that too. Too bad, it would have been hot! *ahem*

I HATE this. Curvy is a body type, even when I was thinner I was curvy. All the screaming about fat shaming, which is wrong, but then shaming women who aren't heavy. Not the way to make a point, or get people on your side.

NO. It's not Islam it's cultural, there have been honor killings by Hindus and even some Christian families in South Asia and the Middle East. It's a cultural issue and one that doesn't look to be ending soon. It's so ingrained I think things will change but I'm sad to say I don't see it happening on any large scale…
