In Russian women's prisons, the women are all kept together all day in common areas, and there is no segregation of murderers and other violent offenders from people who are in for far less serious crimes like Alyokhina. If she was having trouble with her fellow inmates, well, I am frightened for her. This situation…

My dad's American, but I live in Montreal, and whenever I describe green bean casserole to people (that thing with the tinned beans and mushroom soup and crunchy onions), they wrinkle their noses. And then I have to say, "No, really, it's actually really tasty!"

That glitter pouch thingy would be excellent for anyone who is travelling to job interviews in other cities.

Unless they are about legislation or malpractice or anything with any larger implications than just the old "did she/didn't she" stuff. Because really, I don't understand how our speculating does anything to further body acceptance or alleviate the…

Rookie is straight up amazing. Last month they had a thing where they showed you how to build your own Linux computer for under $100.
