Nope. Best practices for suicide reporting recommend not using “committed,” which sounds like a crime or, to religious communities, like a sin, and “kill yourself” is just insensitive, crude, and poorly phrased. “Died by suicide” is the phrasing recommended by mental health professionals and the American Foundation…

only problem is this has been studied numerous times and the results are clear, no increases in arrests, admissions to er’s or psych units, or childbirth. Perfect example of recall bias. People remember the crazy night that was within a few days of the full moon, and forget the surrounding 3-4 days that were average…

My neighbor talks like this, and acts like what her generation got (nominal workforce equality) was good enough, and we shouldn’t fight for anything, or anyone, else. Despite admitting that birth control was a whole lot easier to get for her generation, and that there have been setbacks to what she ‘won for’ us.

Not to mention all the doors people are actively trying to force back closed. So much “I thought we fought and settled this shit already!”

I do not see how ANY interpretation of that book would lead someone to conclude that white people spearheaded this civil rights movement. Also even though the white girl had the book published the story never claims that it changed people’s minds about racism. The book they publish ends up being successful but it is…

because white people aren’t 6.6% of the demographics coming out of hollywood. additionally, rue was not recast as someone black, she was black in the books. louis ck’s wife isn’t being cast as someone not black, angelina jolie in salt proved that the film worked regardless of gender.

For everyone commenting with anecdotes about their Hapa friends/relatives/dog walkers/random persons: NOT THE FUCKING POINT.

Totally. Also, breasts = sexy is a social construct. Not human nature.

You two are doing the Lord’s work with sandwiches like that. I will be attempting this ASAP.

Psh, unless you’re in a time zone ahead of me and it’s already June 1, I’m unimpressed.

Dude. If running will keep me looking like that at 92, I’m starting tomorrow.

“I just fail to see how this is any narrower than all the articles about lengthy backpacking trips and solo international travel for the purpose of “finding oneself.””

"asshat" has always been one of my favorite names. it works on so many levels.

Pack yourself up and leave, you asshat. I’m not any less an American than you are, just because I would like our country to be a decent place to live.

I’ve been pretending to be a doctor on Kinja for awhile....

So about ten years ago when my son was around 13 we had to go to Lowe’s for about the tenth time in two weeks – this time for paint for the bathroom. As we walked in, knowing my son’s commitment to a role, smarts, and incredible precocity, I told him the plan that had just occurred to me. He agreed.

When I was about 13, I pretended to be a soon to be mother on a baby name message board. I really liked baby names at the time (girl names only, der), carefully maintaining lists for all my future children. This was back around 2001 so it was a very primitive message boards, but I was extremely active, becoming a top…

This isn’t very nice but whatever.
