I’m not trans but I have a cousin who is, and our family went through the same learning curve. The gender they were born as is called their “assigned gender.” As a general rule of thumb, always refer to the person by their preferred pronoun and name, even when talking about things that happened pre-transition. If…

Yeah, definitely. Church is totally the last place anyone should ever be vulnerable and share their spiritual struggles and their journey to self-acceptance with the people closest to them. What does she think it is, a hippie love-in?? (read: sarcasm)

Sharks are wild animals, and like most large, wild animals, they can present a deadly danger to humans who get in their way. But movies portray sharks as down right vindictive, hell bent on stalking and torturing their victims before eating. So dangerous? Yes. Vengeful serial killers? No.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess a more likely reason for lower sales is the cost. I just got back from a week at Disney World with my family, and we had an amazing time, but it was REALLY expensive. Including travel and lodging, we probably spent over $6000 for a family of four. If not for my MIL planning and…

It depends which park you go to. Magic Kingdom is definitely more kid-oriented, but Hollywood Studies, Epcot, and Animal Kingdom are slightly more appealing to adults. Disney Springs is definitely a more grown-up space. No rides or characters, just food, shopping, and spa stuff.

High priced, sure. But I just came back from a week there, and it was the best vacation I’ve ever had. My daughter had the time of her life, the people were friendly, and the food was fantastic. You and I must have had very different experiences.

Even if she can’t remember the specifics of the alleged assault, knowing that you’ve been physically violated (and that others witnessed it and did nothing to protect you) is still pretty traumatic. It’s not an out-of-sight-out-of-mind situation. It happened and she knows it happened (and that it was filmed and…

Most recent updates now suggest that there was possibly an assault that occurred during Corinne and DeMario’s encounter. One or both were too drunk to consent, a producer witnessed it during or after the fact and became concerned enough to file a complaint. DeMario’s ppl say it was consensual. Corinne says she doesn’t…

Not all producers are soulless smut peddlers. It is entirely possible that a producer could have felt uncomfortable being present while two people engaged in sexual activity and wanted to leave the set but was told to stay and keep filming.

If the producer felt uncomfortable being present while two other people got naked and proceeded to engage in sexual activity, but was not permitted to leave, then yeah, they could sue for that. It probably would fall under a type of sexual harassment or hostile work environment.

My mom makes a pretty good Ramen noodle coleslaw for potlucks.

The best part was DeMario saying, “Who is this?” when seeing Lexi. If there was any doubt about his guilt for me before, that erased it. Like, if you’re such an upstanding guy with nothing to hide, why lie about knowing her?

They call that negging, right?

Thank you! I was coming here to same the exact same thing.

Like a cross between Augustus and Veruca.

To clarify, the procedure they think can be reversed is a medical abortion, which is done by taking two pills several days apart. The first pill is mifepriston, which blocks progesterone to the fetus. The second pill, misoprostol, causes the uterus to contract and expel the pregnancy. Anti-abortion activists encourage…

Similar experience here. I just watched the live-action Jungle Book with my daughter two days ago.

My new daily prayer: “ Lord, grant me the confidence of a mediocre white man. Amen.”

I just can’t fathom this happening in any other sport. Imagine fans calling in the inform officials of player penalties in the NBA, NFL, or NHL. It’d be madness!

One April Fools Day years ago, I convinced my husband we were being audited by the IRS.
