A bff is the person who knows exactly what you mean when you get upset and start shouting, “You know I don’t like any of the -eetos!” I love everything about this story.

Or the other direction...in Rekia Boyd’s case, the judge ruled that the only charge brought (involuntary manslaughter) was too lenient because by legal definition, firing a gun into a crowd is so dangerous that it can’t be “reckless”. It was basically, “Silly lawyer, he’s DEFINITELY guilty of murder but you only…

If anything, I’d bet that the racist trolling she endured during The Hunger Games spurred her into greater awareness and determination. She was 14 and had to deal with thousands of tweets expressing their disappointment/disgust/despair/rage/hate that she was black. I’m guessing that was a life-changing experience for…

Start with where we started: the 9/11 Commission Report. The book walks through the events that led to 9/11, mostly with an eye to who the real culprits were and whether the Clinton or Bush governments were responsible for letting it happen. It was published in 2002, so it sort of lays the groundwork for “what we…

BOOM. That contract would also have stated, “Even if we get lucky and the first two embryos result in healthy twins, we will 100% try to get pregnant again with the remaining two embryos, because we created four embryos and they all deserve an equal chance at life.”

This article is my go-to for dealing with the tough stuff.

You did the only thing you could do, which was to trust your gut when you weren’t comfortable. There is NO rule that you have to continue with sex when it changes from enjoyable to unpleasant, regardless of how well-behaved your partner is. And from your version of events, it sounds like you tried to be open and…

I now have an image of a designer trolling the entire show with a black & blue collection and being like, “What? It’s CLEARLY WHITE AND GOLD MUTHAFUCKAS!” And now I’m sad that didn’t happen.

Well said. I’m a redhead and I can’t begin to tell you how many people assume that I’m temperamental, fiery, passionate, freaky, etc. just because of my hair color. It’s tiring. I spend most of my Friday nights in PJs watching Netflix, but because I have a curvy booty and a head full of red hair, I must be a wild…

That sounds truly awful. What a horrid little shit. I would have reacted exactly the same way. (I also have thick lips, so I’ve always avoided lipstick because it just intensifies their presence on my face. So I feel you on that one too.)

My god. I’m SO glad her mom took the threat seriously and kept him away from you. That story gave me chills.

I completely understand why you started that story with, “I’ve never really dealt with all my feelings on this and it still gets to me sometimes.” That would have fucking traumatized me, worst because it came from someone you thought was your friend. How totally and utterly fucked up. :(

That sounds completely 100% awful, scary, frustrating...did I say awful? The internal logic there is so fucking twisted, like, “I can’t directly ask her out because she might REJECT me and that would feel AWFUL, so instead I’m going to follow her around day and night, convince the rest of the student body to follow…

My response to this story was, “Fuck that fucking motherfucker,” except with a lot more fucks thrown in.

This guy’s attitude is pretty great, and more importantly the fact that he expressed it aloud so his daughter knows she can confide in him. As others have said, being there for her is the #1 thing you can do.

A-fucking-men. 1,000+ bills proposed over abortion to “protect women’s health” by forcing regulations on doctors and clinics, but a simple investigation into women’s hygiene products can’t get a pass after 9 attempts?

True, but there are pictures of her dead and clothed. EMT 100% did not cut her top off in this case; even if they had, I'd wonder why they needed to strip her out of her jeans to get at her heart.

Last year some cops mistook a banana for a gun:

Who what when where why and how?

Replying to boost. It’s very definitely India’s Daughter, as can be seen in both of the links posted by the author.
