I’m someone who likes rough stuff and went to therapy in part because I felt like a freak because some men I was with told me I was broken/gross/not a real feminist. I struggled for years to deny the things I wanted, even though it comes from a place of fun and adventure, and I’ve had some very healthy, positive…

Okay I hate this guy. So much.

But as a person in stem cell research to help people with SCIs (spinal cord injuries that cause paralysis) I am itching to correct everyone. There are different types of stem cells collected from different parts of the body - not all are from umbilical cords, fetuses and embryos. The…

Mamas, don’t let your babies grow up to be this kind of person and/or the kind of person that fraternizes with this kind of person.

Why is it that a white woman only has to bleach her hair to be considered attractive by other white people? It’s like no one even looks at their faces to consider their features. This photograph is a good example of that. Throughout junior high, highschool, and university me and my brown friends wondered about this.

I was thinking about his civil rights activism. To me, it seems that it all worked to serve men. He fought for sexual freedom (for men to freely enjoy women), he fought for women to get the pill (so that pregnancies wouldn’t hinder men’s sexual activities with women and men wouldn’t have to worry about being…

“...and while she oiled her legs, you’d see all sorts of toys that were attached to her vaginal area.”

While I don’t doubt you know your own body and this is the case in your experience, “any shoe can be comfortable regardless of heel height” is not true. Maybe it doesn’t hurt your feet, and maybe it doesn’t hurt your body now, but walking with your heel elevated is unnatural and does damage to many parts of the body…

Finally someone who agrees with me. Wedges are the worst. Kitten heels forever! I can’t handle wearing taller heels, so a good kitten heel makes me feel fashionable and put together in a situation where heels are called for.

Wedges are ugly. They make your feet look like stumps, or hooves. Wedge booties are an abomination.

I am fine with the actual heels becoming obsolete, but I need the words kitten heels to exist. Because ... kitten heels. Kitten ... heels. Kitten heals?

OH no that’s awful. :(

If literally any other man did this, would we applaud him for being an ‘icon’?

I will never understand this dude’s popularity with women. The man basically kept a creepy babe-zoo in his house and only supported ‘women’s empowerment’ as long as it fit his idea of women being naked and not being ~prudes~ about it. If literally any other man did this, would we applaud him for being an ‘icon’?

Of all the post about Hugh’s death, Jez’s was the one I wanted to see most as to see how he was remembered. He has a complex legacy: publisher of some of the best authors of the 20's century, great art, amazing photographers (Annie Leibovitz, Herb Ritts, Helmut Newton among others), insightful interviews, early…

Irritable Vowel syndrome and consonant diarrhea

“Doctor” Elliot Berlin

Oh, man. A number of years ago I was in an archiving class as part of a library science program, and we were taken on a tour of the (now defunct) Georgia Music Hall of Fame. They had all kinds of stuff—signed guitars, promotional posters, ticket stubs. . . Then our guide pulls out a Nudie suit. Right away I knew what…

Gram Parson’s is pretty cool.

CW: very bad things happening to sweet kitties

Our boy was adopted under similar circumstances—tossed in the bushes of a turn-out in a national park (so no, no houses for miles, did not wander away, was litter trained, loved people, loved dogs, definitely not feral—just a six month old black kitten who was juuuust getting out of that “omg so cute and baby!”…
