If she had plastic surgery on her eyes, it might not have been for cosmetic reasons. My grandmother had heavily hooded eyes that became more hooded as she got older, and she had to have them lifted so she could see better. She was around 80 when she did that, and it was really painful for her. If Renee Zelleweger…

So as long as your life is comfortable enough, anyone can commit violent assault against you? Cool.

Except for, you know, the gay-owned Elvis-themed wedding chapel that has been doing same-sex commitment ceremonies since it opened and was happy to jump into gay marriages once they were allowed:

Yep, this is certainly a man's body. What a douchebag.

What an appropriate response - to "hate all things" about vast multi-ethnic place. Surely there are better ways to respond to racism and sexism. Also, the photo above looks to be of a Femen protester.

Um, where are the white women laughing over this? The consensus opinion is clearly that it's awful.

For the benefit of all moms, future moms, and happily child-free friends of moms, I will share the words of my amazing pediatrician when it became clear that breastfeeding was not going to work for me and my son despite my increasingly frantic efforts:

Same here. My mom made me a few pairs using a McCalls pattern, my fav pair being a cat pattern. When the school told me I couldn't wear shorts to school anymore, my mom exclaimed, "Nonsense! You tell that school they're not shorts, they're culottes!"

No, we just get nagged about how we dont have sex lines, abs and a rock hard chest.

This is where the use of female (female nurses) is appropriate, but they went with "women nurses" to fit their "war on women" narrative. Want to know what is really a war on female nurses? The restriction of their access to healthcare and the lowered payment allocated to their profession due to it being a traditional…

I think when we're talking about minors, there's not a really meaningful difference. 12-year olds don't get into sex work because it's personally fulfilling.

Well, in light of the reports that nurses who cared for Duncan were also instructed by their employer to continue to care for other patients in the hospital, it's easy to understand why she thought it was fine to fly.

I would imagine that this nurse was given all manner of assurances by her employer that it was perfectly safe to be taking care of Duncan and that she had nothing to worry about. she called the CDC and they told her to go ahead and fly. in hindsight, it's easy to criticize, but when you are told over and over again by…

Not an anti-ager, but I'd add glycolic acid (at 5 or 10%) to the list of good skincare ingredients that actually do what they say.

Her bio dad is Sheila E's and Alejandro Escovedo's brother. But of course, her parents are Lionel Richie and his ex-wife.

Just because you are adopted doesn't mean she still wouldn't be her sis.

No, what I'm saying is that the "outsiders carry disease" thought process is not unusual to the West. Nor is it entirely irrational (ask any indigenous American population what they think about smallpox.) Humans are tribal by nature, and this is even evident in Africa as they deal with Ebola. Trying to make it into a…

I feel like there's a fantastic conversation to be had about this subject, all of the white guilt "finger wagging at all you other white people who don't GET IT the way I GET IT" is incredibly frustrating, and I feel (as it's done in this post's comments) largely drowns out the voices of POC due to the starring and…

I know it's easy to say, "Oh, the West is the worst," but these kinds of "outsiders carry disease" attitudes aren't unusual to the big bad West. Japanese even today believe that HIV is a "foreigner disease" even though the HIV infection rate in Japan is on the uptick among Japanese themselves. These problems are…
