I'm a working mom supporting my husband and two kids on just about what the lady in this article is making. My husband is a stay-at-home dad while he finishes his bachelor's degree. It's frickin' hard but way better than a few months ago, when I was working part-time and my husband was working 3 part-time seasonal…

Ooh, like a really cool white gold, long-sleeved, pencil skirt dress with strong architectural elements that recall the False Maria in perhaps the shoulders and the arms, and C-3P0 around the ribcage?!?!? BECAUSE I AM CURRENTLY OBSESSED WITH THIS IDEA.

Ugh, I've had the hardest time getting my oldest, who is now 3.5 but this started much earlier, to loosen up her gender differentiation. She doesn't get it from us, but I suppose from stories and other kids in childcare situations, but she has certain things that make her CERTAIN someone is a girl or a boy—mainly,…

I went and looked and didn't find a single one. What are you talking about?

Pop stars (and fashion models) themselves are supposed to be stylized and tend to go with a long and lean figure, and they're not supposed to represent reality. It's not an excuse. It's perpetuating harmful shit and it is creepy and gross. It's not "just art calm down" if over and over it is cited as contributing to…

Minnesota addendum:

...I know... I wasn't saying you called me aggressive. I was stating something, independent of you.

Who? I'm not trying to be aggressive here, I'm actually curious who people think would have been good. I'm not all up on actors who can sing, so I don't think I'd be able to come up with anyone. (Then again, I don't think they should have done the whole thing in the first place.)

...you mean because Jamie Foxx is playing Electro?

It's because if Sony doesn't make a Spiderman movie every certain number of years (10? or maybe something else was in the licensing agreement), the rights to the character go back to Marvel. They don't want to lose the rights. That's all. That's it.

He was amazing in Chronicle. Absolutely amazing. He's also in Kill Your Darlings, which I haven't seen but I hear he's amazing.

I saw it as her being so PTSD-scarred that she just couldn't open up her feelings in the way someone who had never experienced war could. I thought Collins wanted that distance and numbness to be a consequence of war. I could be wrong, though.

I'll throw in a dissenting opinion: you get to pick your attitude about your name. People constantly say the wrong name for me, or pronounce it wrong. I get to pick whether I'm infuriated by this or not, and I choose to be chill. I like to think that having to deal with small irritations helps me keep bigger problems…

Hmm, this 'let them be naked' idea, yes... let's pursue this. Hmm....

That's part of the point—she can't tell just by looking at people whether or not they have a disability. You cannot. No one can. What if they have muscular dystrophy, like a good friend of mine? You can't tell just by looking at her. What if they have a lasting injury from some accident that isn't visible by just…

uh oh, shots fired, you might actually elicit some introspection

I KNOW RIGHT???

I don't know people who golf or go to football games. Ok, maybe some people I'm friends with on fb go to football games, I guess. Mostly everyone just watches on tv.

"If you think $50 is too expensive for golf, that's just a preference" said someone who doesn't understand that there's a huge social class of people who DO NOT HAVE $50 EXTRA TO SPEND HOWEVER THEY LIKE and therefore it is not a preference.

I have no idea who this guy is, but I could have written this about my family. My step-dad actually made a fake-puking face when we told him that one of my husband's groomsmen for our wedding is gay. Did me typing that mean I endorsed it? No way. Cohen probably could have worded it better, yeah, and he certainly could…
