If it were me I would have preferred a design that supported a more fitted look, but if I had to choose between the two I would go with Meghan’s in a heartbeat. It isn’t exactly my style, but it really seemed to suit her and loved the minimal chic and how the simple design let that gorgeous tiara shine. I’m not a big…

IMO they don’t even share a neckline. The EW looks like it’s off the shoulder and the Givenchy is a true boatneck. They share the same color, exposed collarbones, and covered elbows. That’s about it.  

Nah, man. I just understand the definition of progressive.

I understand the church more than you do. I just don’t accept it because it is completely unacceptable. Only a moron would see the current pope expressing the same views as every other pope since popes talked publicly about gay people and use that as proof that the current pope is progressive. No reasonable person…

Hi, please refer to the all caps portion of my last comment. Jesus Christ you are exhausting.

Ditto over here! I came from a regressive Catholic family and PP is the only reason I haven’t had an abortion. PP is such a wonderful organization. I hope this Title X bullshit gets overturned. Luckily we live in a very progressive, fairly well off community so our clinic will be fine. I hope you guys are in the same…

In my experience, anyone time someone refers to their workplace as a family it is the biggest red flag. Families are the opposite of professional and people get away with awful shit that you would never tolerate in another person because you share DNA. That is not how a workplace should function. I’ve never had a good…

Word on the street is he’s a douche. Any Poehler has a very specific way of speaking about him publicaly that is telling.

Feeling very good and cool about my husband’s new job at PP. He started last week.

I said they all should, not that they would. Regardless, it is a reasonable expectation of them, since it is what they say they’re about. And, if you’re catholic you really don’t know much about your religion because the church does provide treatment for people with HIV. They fall apart in prevention, which is mind…

Like, what do you think happens if he says “the Catholic church should sponsor HIV testing for LGBT communities”, that everyone just falls in line?

You’re clearly not getting it. 1) How the church is is a major part of the problem, not to be used an excuse for why the church is the way it is 2) Francis’ actions maybe aren’t completely meaningless, but that doesn’t mean they are meaningful. By that I mean, is he saying nice things? Yes. Is it enough? Not for…

Yeah, the pace is a positive if you’re looking for someone to reinforce your misogynistic and homophobic world view. Not really a reason to embrace it if you ask me. It would be nice if the clergy didn’t have to be told that it is fucked up to make people feel bad for being who they are, that if they reach out to the…

If history is any indication, when Francis dies we’ll get another “my brother oversaw a youth choir where anal rape was a form of punishment” Ratzinger. You’re right that the church moves slowly, but that is a bullshit excuse. The problem is that it doesn’t want to change. “God made you this way” is actually less…

As a reformed catholic you know that the Pope has to invoke infallibility right? So unless he makes an ex cathedra declaration or it is issued under extraordinary papal magisterium, he’s basically just shooting the shit. This isn’t even an ecclesiastical letter. It is literally just talk.

Fun story: I had private, one-on-one catechism lessons from a child molester when I was in middle school. I would loooooove to know how to get excommunicated since my official membership is tied to someone who harmed children. Do you know how your friend went about it? Plus, it would make for a great “2 truths and a…

Even if you were to give Pope Francis the most generous slant and go ahead and say he himself is progressive, the institution is regressive as fuck. A lot of their leadership is still corrupt and regressive and harmful to numerous vulnerable groups. One guy isn’t going to change that in the next few decades. My own…

Ugh, that is awful. I had so much respect for Nancy Silverton especially. I will say tip pooling (evenly distributing all the tips earned amongst all the front and back of house) is pretty standard in CA, where Silverton has a restaurant. It’s pretty common anyplace where restaurant workers have the same minimum wage…

Obviously not because she’s a woman. April Bloomfield, Lidia Bastianich, and Nancy Silverton are all women that are mentioned in this post who have deep financial ties to Mario Batali. Mainly, if I recall correctly from her memoir, Hamilton didn’t get backers for her restaurant, she also hires more women than average,…

I think I remember this! If it’s the same story they followed up with her after they changed the words and her response was “Well, they still only show pictures of women in the commercials...so.” Never change, Baby Meghan.
