For me, this whole thing raises a pretty clear set of questions about what women’s media is meant to do, and what the Clinton campaign thinks we’re good for. Is it our job to cheerlead for Clinton without the slightest reservation?

I have a[sic] problem with the use of punching down when many of these women have repugnant right wing views. [Emphasis mine]

I feel bad for them, all those suckers stuck living in dorms or sorority houses! I went to art school in the city, so I got to live in a tiny studio apartment! With a roommate! Beneath a guy named Dan who worked at a custom incense store! Who regularly woke us up at 2:00 am having loud sex with his [unknown]! My…

@Madeleine Davies, I—a stranger on the internet—would be ever so grateful if you refiled the post from “Bad Opinions” to “Totally a Fact”. Please don’t let an anti-factser skew the conversation with false arguments. Chicken tyranny must be stopped! (Yes, yes, my font size in Hangouts is ridiculously large. I have…

You’re doing God’s work with this post, Madeleine—you know, the good, kind God that sportsballers thank when they win their sportsball prizes, not the mean one who screams about sin in mega-churches. Chicken is the very worst smeat (sorta-meat), and now I have a published article to show my friend who wrongly insists…

Yeah, that’s really true, and it’s an extremely complicated political situation with the FARC and the ELN. It’s wonderful that the FARC have signed a peace agreement, but that has its own difficulties as they’re assimilated into the voting population.

Medellin is a really beautiful, very cosmopolitan, first-world city with excellent infrastructure! The library was purposefully built in the slums as a way to bring in money, attention and access. The poorest neighborhoods are those in the hills, and a gondola system was built to get the poorest people at the top to…

I feel most things at a 10, the good and the bad. Like many who’ve suffered from mental health challenges, I’ve found that the deeper I’ve fallen, the more capacity I have for joy, surprise, and delight. I’ve had some of my life’s most beautiful days alongside some of the more devastating.

Yeah, ingrown hairs can be a big problem, too. Exfoliating, moisturizing and cotton underwear all help a lot. Because pubic hair is so coarse and curly, it has a tendency to twist on its way out, unlike straighter arm hair, leg hair, and any facial hair one might get. Clearing away dead skin, excess oils that clog…

I hope this show amplifies her voice so much that every corner of the country will be able to hear her.

Robin Tunney was definitely my favorite character in Mass Effect 2.

Missed the edit window, but in the time it took me to post my original message, another entry was added to the list. 5 men shot in Chicago: http://chicago.suntimes.com/news/5-men-sho…

This isn’t even the first mass shooting since Orlando.

I think this is an important point to make. While I may be a 6 on the Kinsey scale, while many straight people may identify as 1s, the numbers 2-5 exist for a reason, and even that scale is starting to seem more and more outdated as time goes by. It’s a blunt tool that lacks the full diversity of human sexuality and…

Visconti wants a hardbitten, acoustic cowboy who is raw as hell, but manly. A man. Man make music with hands, woman make fluff with voice.

Of course. The state determined he needed those guns to “protect himself” in bathrooms.

I think there are probably a variety of methods to it, because what my therapist does is a bit different from what Major Lazer Power Blazer described, at least at this point. It’s almost like an eye exam, when your ophthalmologist moves the little light and has you follow it with your eyes? My therapist just moves her…

I’m being treated with EMDR for PTSD now, too, and it’s been really helpful. I didn’t know anything about it when my therapist started it, and I thought it sounded silly. More fool me. At least for me, it’s taking some of the immediacy out of that emotional loop, giving me some distance from it.
