Yes, every bit of that. We tell kids, if anything ever happens, tell an adult you trust. But literally almost all of the time, they are being hurt by an adult they trust(ed). All adults must be thrown into suspicion then! Silence is a perfectly reasonable response when a kid’s world has been turned upside down and…

Last year, in a move of reckless abandon, I purchased a lipstick from Maybelline’s Bold line that’s this color. I think it’s called Violet Vixen. Shockingly, it worked on me! I had fun with it last winter. Go to the drug store and give it a try!

A fun fact I learned yesterday while researching child sex abuse is that 98% of claims made by children are, upon investigation, found to be credible. Kids don’t make this shit up for kicks. Believe children. Believe victims. It’s really very straightforward.

I am no Dunham defender, but unless she herself was one of Weinstein’s victims, she had no place going public. Legally, it would be hearsay. Socially, holding a press conference to say, “I’ve heard from people that this jagoff is a super creep,” isn’t very compelling. It is frustrating that so many people KNEW this…

Yeah, I was all OH, PLEASE I HAVE MORE BOOKS THAN THAT UNDER MY BED until I noticed it was her kitchen and maybe those are just cookbooks or food-related and I shut myself up.

I swear, the anniversary of the election stirred some shit up in me—and that’s taking into account my therapist has been hearing about my Trump-induced trauma for a year. I’m also tired. I’m mad as hell. I’m ready for another Women’s March, and this time we don’t stop until we tear down the halls of power with our…

I like your vision, particularly the revamped Where in the World...? segment. Lolololoooooool!

I’ll confess: I watch Dr. Lee’s videos, as well as those of two other estheticians. They are sometimes gross, yes, but I’ve become inured to the fluids. I do find them oddly relaxing, and I *have* learned a lot about skin conditions.

I will admit there is something of the old carnival freak show in the premise,…

“Am I being the neighbor Mr. Rogers thought I could be?”

Wales is the title of the heir to the British throne. There is no title higher, except for the Monarch’s. Diana was Princess Di right off the bat because she married the Prince of Wales. When Charles ascends, Will and Kate will become Prince and Princess of Wales. You are correct about the lesser princes becoming…

Diana was styled Princess Diana because she married the crown prince. They’re is no title higher than Prince (or Princess) of Wales except King or Queen. Second, third, etc. princes have historically been given the title Duke, while the royal princesses remain Princess Firstname. When Charles takes the throne, William…

In royalty and aristocracy, the wife receives the rank of the husband, so she ought to be styled Princess Meghan. That said, “they” declined to grant divorcee Camilla the Princess honorific. I know some of the rules were revamped around the time Wills and Kate married, but I don’t know whether divorce was scrubbed of…

Good call on the mechanics of hypothermic Jack. I also think the buoyancy is a fair reason. There may have been enough surface area on the door for two bodies, but if their weight submerged the door so that they were partially in the drink, then you have nothing left but two (dead) bodies. No one knew how long they…

It was shocking. I remember my husband telling me about the water cooler gossip about Jane... she’s pregnant, right? And I said I hoped he wasn’t participating in the talk, not anyone’s business, blah blah blah. Then, a few months later, he said she’d shared that she’d just been diagnosed with cancer. I’d only met her…

Unfortunately, I believe it was the latter scenario. She wasn’t diagnosed until several months before she died, well after people in the office started asking when she was due. :( Her co-workers probably weren’t the only people in her life making such comments. Were it me, barring other symptoms, I’d probably think I…

This is the only way to go. Unless someone’s water breaks on my shoes, it’s none of my business (and then only to ask whether I’m dealing with urine or amniotic fluid for cleaning purposes).

There was a woman in my husband’s office who was frequently congratulated on her (unannounced) pregnancy one year... which wasn’t…

That’s my Christmas meat! My mom always did turkey for both Thanksgiving and Christmas, ugh. Once I staged a successful holiday coup and took control of meals, I brought in the standing rib roast and Yorkshire pudding, and now it isn’t a family Christmas without dinner at my house.

No. No, he does not. The correct answer is: don’t put your hands where they don’t belong. It’s really very simple.

My irrational dislike for the Pioneer Woman (which I totally acknowledge is irrational) stems from a time I was sitting in an ER room, holding my son’s hand, willing him to live (He did, he’s totally fine now). The Pioneer Woman was on the tv by the ceiling, making some dessert that involved an Oreo crumb crust.…

Korean Air had grippy socks for everyone in coach on my trip from ATL to Bangkok. Feet swell as a result of change in pressure/sitting so damn long and shoes can get seriously uncomfortable.

I wouldn’t go to the bathroom on an airplane barefoot, but I take off my shoes at my own seat almost 100% of the time. No…
