Interesting theory......

My bet is people who can afford to go to Columbia without a scholarship.

Yup. In the NY Times today, she was quoted saying “If some sort of museum wants to buy [the mattress], then I’m open to that...but I’m not going to just throw it away.” Which, you know, I find suspicious, but that’s probably because I’m a cynic and I don’t know if a sexual assault survivor who’s talked about this as…

According to court documents, one of the other two women actually accused him of making her feel like he wouldn’t spend time with her when they were dating her freshman or sophomore year unless she had sex with him. Instead of dumping him like the dick he was, she waited until senior year (around the time of Emma’s…

This is awful. There’s no excuse for this, and the people who did it are cruel.

Lol.....THAT I understand. But really, there are safe ways to get away with that firework. Safe-ish. Maybe. ;)

Really, there are so many things that I would just laugh at or say flippantly, that some brides/other girls give such side eye over. It’s like you need to know these rules or you’re not really a bride, you’re just some woman getting married. :/

Ask her straight up if she’s doing it, and if so, tell her you’d rather not participate. Maybe emphasize that you have some private relationship reasons for it, and you trust her enough to tell her this, and you really love her and want her to know you’re so happy to be in her wedding and you just want her to know you…

I’ve heard of people doing that, too

Oooooohhhh....so pretty!

Apparently I am? Or maybe it’s like super old fashion? No idea!

Eep! Def not a fun problem for a wedding!

Does this mean you’re going to see even more maxi dress weddings in the near future?

Iron Man 3 was the psychological study of a man with PTSD. Also, superheroes. We’re not dumbing down our culture, we’re allowing the childish & spectacular to coexist with the gritty & adult.

I’m not denying that. I’m just saying it’s a LOT easier now, and more effective to avoid getting pregnant or having children. And there’s a cultural aspect of it. So much so that girls I know in my generation (particularly those of us with robust sex ed growing up) really do just expect to have birth control, and have…

Being pregnant and not knowing it is LITERALLY MY WORST NIGHTMARE.

True, but women in particular are more in control of their bodies with the pill (as opposed to the condom, which required men to agree, and was stigmatized for a long time as only being used by sex workers and promiscuous men; or to the rhythm method, which is dodgy at best and may be problematic in a world where rape…

No problem! It happens in text. :)

Historically, that’s because birth control only became widely available in the 60’s, and ours is the first generation to expect it - without even paying for it, thanks to Obamacare. (Which I agree with 100%!) For thousands of years, poor people had and raised babies because they had no choice most of the time.…
