Charlize Theron was going to get paid less than Chris Hemsworth?

I also kind of envy the first person to have this enforced on them because they get to sue the hell out of Texas and win and maybe even get to set another embarrassing (for Texas) precedent.

My face when I read the ridiculousness of this legislation:

Handling menstruation is a challenge that women face everywhere and falls on a spectrum, from the practice of chhaupadi in Nepal, to women feeling ashamed of and pressured to conceal their menstruation in North America.

There is a strong wave of anti-Semitism coming from SOME of the Muslim communities in France, particularly ones with very new immigrants (and, unsurprisingly, those are very much the same Muslim immigrant communities that are most vulnerable to recruitment by radical Islamists), but European Jews and European Muslims…

While I agree that these statements are largely lip service, since not denouncing the attacks would be taken by many to be akin to an endorsement, I disagree with your statement that this is exactly what they want. I'm doing this case by case, Iran first.

There are two wonderful things happening here in this story:

God, I hope so. I really do. Because we're not even a full two weeks into 2015, and already it feels like 2014, Part 2.

I was intermittently getting horrible neck and shoulder pain for a while in my 20s — to the degree that I'd be stiff and extremely sore for a couple of days. Then I spent a few days visiting OOT friends, flew home super hungover and spent the next two days just hanging out in the bed with novels and snacks. Woke up…

"(like, they don't make a frowny face on the pain chart kinda pain.)"

Just to touch on the subject of "men don't understand rape"... I've been thinking lately that they really don't, on a physical level.

I was at a Hilton Hotel room party on St. Patrick's Day 2009, as one is want to do while living in Massachusetts and generally being trashy. The boys were taking all the lightbulbs out of their fixtures and microwaving them, making them glow before exploding, to demonstrate their impressive knowledge of science. The…

Dude. Hubs and I tried to take a video of ourselves jumping in the bed at a hotel on our anniversary-to send our kids, so they could see the fun we were having without them, of course- and I slipped off the edge, busted my ass, and swore so much that the video was deemed "unfit for children."

This isn't me, but it was a guy I was dating at the time. We had vermicelli for dinner. There was one little dried bit of vermicelli stuck to the botom of the pot. Boyfriend, who was always cleaning pots and pans with his hands first to "save sponges" (WTF even is that) was cleaning it and decided to scrape the piece…

mine is short and sweet, and i hope it gets read because i think i am literally the only person in the world who this has happened to. it is very low on the pain scale, and i have many stupid stories of getting myself injured, but this is my favorite story by far:

Oh that's easy! I completely tore my ACL and partially tore my meniscus in an outdoor pillow fight against a 10 year old. I was part of an obnoxious improv troupe that decided to hold a pillow fight on International Pillow Fight day. A kid, one of the children of the troupe leaders, swung at me from behind and I…

we have one of those automatic garage doors where if you walk underneath, a laser senses it and the door goes back up. you see where this is going don't you.... wait for it.

When I was in middle school I ran into the ceiling.

Running in place. Fell and twisted my ankle.
