I’ve been having trouble getting pregnant (and carrying to term) for the last few years, and I have a hard time thinking about adoption. I’m open to it, in theory, but as you say there are so many practical concerns and it’s so expensive. Plus if I’m honest, I’m terrified of having a child who rejects me when they’re…

Sorry! Deleted and moved, I replied to your comment accidentally.

Adjective or adverb, ‘low-key’ is useful and therefore probably along for the long haul; even if you don’t care for it because you find new words to be unprofessional by default, which seems to be your primary argument. (There’s a reason the dictionary has it on watch.)

That statement is PR spin at absolute best, definitely wasn’t written by that kid (as initially reported), and was presented as fact by a media personality without disclosing that it was crafted by a PR professional who is the same person. It’s bad form for journalists to republish press releases straight in any…

This is so much more than spin:

A true story of a 90-year-old man having two threesomes!

I don’t like paying tons of money for software that isn’t competitive any more than the next person, but I think the expectation that the software to do literal work should be cheap/free is also pretty shitty.

Since many blogs/journalism outlets have fallen into the position of self-reporting on bad actions in the past—in particular, both the pre and post-Gawker Kinja blogs—it makes sense that anyone working for these companies would find paying a subject “arguably grosser” than hiring Fuck Jerry and Co. and having them…

It’s funny because you’d assume grifters could spot grift, but they CAN’T. Their enormous egos get in the way.

I have never felt so defensive of weed in my life. This ... thing ... is not cannabis’ fault.

It’s not goalpost moving to acknowledge that people have allergies to things, and those allergies are totally different than a ‘syndrome’.

You be better. When other women say something true to their experience and it differs from yours, just dismissing them outright (“truthers”) is not the way to go. 

Seconding this. I had a custom, steel-boned corset made for my wedding because I have big boobs and I didn’t want to wear an uncomfortable strapless bra all day. A well-made corset is extremely comfortable. I loved it — it really does feel like a hug. If they weren’t totally obvious under most casual clothes (and…

Lindsay’s been through some shit, but lots of people go through shit and don’t turn into assholes. She’s an asshole. Case in point:

It’s 65k per person but with very minimal basic living costs. Food, basic utilities, and rent are already paid, so it’s more like making more than twice that considering the cost of living in the bay area. Plus the inn’s only open 4 days per week, which means the inkeepers get a three-day weekend every week (from…

She uses makeup to an extreme to change her appearance. Not just through extreme looks — aka glitter and meat — but even her more demure looks involve a lot of strategic shading/contouring/highlighting. Makes her seem malleable.

“Let”? The Culkin kids were forced into showbiz (like many child stars). 

Weaves come in many flavors but what they have in common is that weaves are hair sewn to (braids on) the head. They aren’t worn to be lazy because they are expensive to buy, time-consuming to install, and require special upkeep. Weaves are often made with real, human hair. Since hair is dead after it grows outside the…

That you think a weave is like a hat is really something else. How do you think a weave works? I’m genuinely curious.

The Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Twitter account is definitely run by an adult professional, and the constant “intern” jokes about people who work in social media (which is really just marketing + customer service) are tired as fuck.
