Congrats!

Thank you for this. Not that I’m married, nor have I ever been, but I do come from divorced parents who had an awful relationship, so it took years and years for me to imagine a world in which marriage isn’t a recipe for a lifetime of misery. It’s nice to hear from someone who is happily married! What you’re saying…

halloween is awful mostly because american candy is trash

As a black woman currently rocking a ‘fro, I can 10000% confirm this is not an afro. 

I say that all the time. I don’t know how kids survive emotionally these days. My granddaughter is 14, and I worry about her constantly. She heads up a conflict resolution committee at her school, where they’re trained in how to stop bullying when they see it happening, both in person and online. I’m happy her school…

The Atlantic leans left, so I see this as a paean to conservatives to demonstrate that the media really isn’t as bad as Trump says it is. But the last thing we need right before midterms is to humanize the inhumane.

I have no idea if he’s a good Catholic male, but he’s a shitty pharmacist and should be fired.

If you literally CAN’T do your job then you’re in the wrong profession, my dude.

It would...hamper the office of the President if he’s taken to task for writing stupid bullshit?

Came here to say that. Mind, I tend not to think that what he said amounts to defamation / that she could prove any damage relating to his tweet. But this seems like particularly poor reasoning for the court’s decision.

It’s also no accident that state offices have shifted toward Republicans over the last decade. Democrats never raised an army of ideological zealots to run for everything from school boards to city councils. That’s how you cultivate experience. The evangelicals did this, and they succeeded in taking over state…

Imagine this particular situation in reverse.

The notion that any parent would trade a child’s health for some repressive notion of sexual purity is fucked up beyond measure. Maybe that’s what we should be doing studies on instead.

If this is your reaction to the story, then it was absolutely meant for you.

“...a very powerful individual..”

The essay is well-written, but the sole point of it was to pick through each line of her endorsement, apply highly subjective hidden meanings to it and say, “Don’t praise Taylor Swift too much, she did this for selfish reasons.” The only reason I can think of for someone going through the effort of writing an entire…

Okay, y’all listen up. I’m a Tennessean, and I don’t really give a damn about how, why or when Swift got political. What I DO care about is that she might have increased our odds of defeating Marsha Blackburn, who’s Trump in a dress. She’s rotten to her core.

I am so, so, so tired and EXHAUSTED of ‘feminists’ tearing other women (especially white and/or successful women) apart for not saying the right thing at the right time. It’s another example internalized misogyny that we hold a different standard for women and are harsher on them for not doing something exactly the…

Taylor Swift’s image and career trajectory is clearly modelled on Olivia Newton-John. Extremely pretty blonde “girl-next-door” hits big in country music, shifts to pop superstardom; Hollywood musicals just have to be on the way (after all, she really does look a lot like Grace Kelly).

 It’s a level of nudity you don’t often see from male movie stars, and quite frankly, it makes Justin Theroux look like Buffalo Bill.
