The more things change, the more they stay the same. Back in the day, I was acquainted with quite a few couples who proclaimed they had open relationships\marriages. The dramas surrounding these people were epic and tiring all at once. Especially amusing was how often it was the man who wanted to live the alternative…

I don’t get why so many white (ostensibly liberal) guys are being such dicks about this story on Twitter i.e. making jokes about how women can now drive to their own stonings.

White people know precisely and exactly why black players are kneeling. But it makes no difference because the problem is not black players kneeling but black players protesting about WHITE BRUTALITY. White people know that this is what the kneeling is about. But until the end of time, they will insist that disrespect…

Funny thing is, she’s not Armenian. The Armenian side is from Robert Kardashian, so the Jenner girls aren’t Armenian. But she definitely looks the most like Kim. Although as Kim has aged (and various surgeries) she looks more and more like her mother.

Hey now, some of us like destroying men through a male-gazey succubus aesthetic. You get to use phrases like “hoist with his own petard.”

The Kardashians, at least, have a certain leisurely pace to their activities. This guy’s like an un-housebroken puppy who’s ingested some crystal meth.

Why can’t all teens be bitter, emotionally crippled, Tom Waits-loving alcoholics like I was at 17?

I don’t watch watch a lot of TV but I remember a year or so ago there was an advert for a brand of ‘follow-on’ formula milk (in itself a con but whatever) featuring cute babies and a flash forward to their futures. The boy babies were doing mathematics and climbing a mountain, and the girl baby was in a ballet class.…

I tried to woo a girl with Silverchair patch on her bookbag by showing off my knowledge of  The Silver Chair, fourth book of the Chronicles of Narnia. I didn’t know Silverchair was a band.

I found out that a guy I went to college with is one of her assistants. We were in the same major, classes and even did some group projects together. He’s the black sheep of our class and not friends with most of us on FB anymore. Anyways, I saw this picture of him during the presser today. Is it just me or does he…

All of this. I left behind my beliefs in the invisible sky-god too and I’m much happier. On the other hand, I don’t think humans are ever going to leave the sky-god behind so we probably need to start hoping that people who believe in the sky-god start to confront their hatred and their hypocrisy. It’s hard but…

What a weird comment.

This story has been percolating in the ex-Mormon community for a while now. The mom actually is out and has been out for some time. I get the impression she’s been keeping a toe in the water, though, to appease her still-believing family. It’s hard to keep families intact when leaving the Church, since you can’t…

I doubt you can come to that conclusion without knowing what sort of insults he shouted, among other things. That being said...

He was a guy in a car who stalked young girls across multiple locations. When they ran, and one fell down he got out of his car, chased her down, killed her with a metal bat, then took her…

I’ve also been accused of victim blaming, but it’s a legitimate question. North Korea has handlers for foreign tourists that basically only allow them to see propaganda or (fairly new) items. Unless you are a journalist, scholar that has some connection to authoritarian countries or North Korea, have family from the…

He was a college kid studying (I believe) international relations and studying abroad in China. I’d imagine he and the other students on the trip thought it would be interesting to see this part of the world that’s sealed off from everything else. And being very young and in the care of supposedly expert guides they…

I FUCKING hate the word ‘tresses’. Like.......just get away from me. 

If she really knew anything, she’d include that a good way to help your hair from being destroyed by salt and chlorine is to rinse your hair in cold water before you get into the ocean / pool. It helps seal the cuticle so your hair is absorbing cold normal water instead of ocean water or pool water with lots of…

“styling my tresses”

“Try to allow your hair to air dry to prevent less heat styling.”
