Ah Hollywood. You have this big liberal circle jerk where you pat each other on the back on the back over how "inclusive" you are when you give a token award to a non-traditionally-beautiful person, person of color, overweight person, or all three at once if you can help it. You fawn over your flavor of the month…

This is slightly off topic, but it reminds me of that situation from a few months ago where Melissa Harris Perry and her panel made some fairly innocent jokes about Romney's adopted grandson? All that was said was "One of these things is not like the other" and all of Jezebel said it was totally not cool and she…

Panties is not a name you give. Panties is a name you earn.

How nice to Danny123456789 to raise your son to believe his desire to 'play' as other races is his right and he should disregard the racial issues that other people face. To a white child of course his skin color (is claimed to be) less important, because to many white people their skin color is 'normal' and others…

When it comes to race issues, Europeans (apart from the Brits perhaps) will not catch up to the whole "black face is wrong" thing for a long time, if ever at all. If we sit down and explain to a "normal" person on the street that race isn't a costume and that PoCs might find dressing up in a caricature offensive, a…

In another post somewhere, last month, there was some guy from Alaska or somewhere talking about how we're all big babies. He then proceeded to talk about "running outside in pajamas to plug in the car." Um.... not only do tons of people not HAVE a car, but if we did it wouldn't necessarily be right outside our…

for giving us one of the most boundlessly inventive recording artists in modern music?

That photo is a National Treasure.

Somebody's gonna pay for this

Fat or thin if your body is teetering on the brink of organ failure that's bad. Thin isn't normal or natural but equilibrium is. Pretend you're fat because "genetics" all you want. I'm thin because of genetics but if I ate a bunch of crap and didn't exercise I wouldn't stay that way. If you're fat it's because you…

It's not derailing.

I've been married 10 years to a nerd I met at a Halloween party. My housemates threw the party - I really didn't have the time or energy - and forced me to wear a blue Betty Page wig. I had invited the smoking hot guy from my grad school class, but he showed late. Meanwhile, I met this dude in a Penny Arcade (what?)…

My meet-weird:

My wife and I met in high school. I didn't pay much attention to her because I thought she was too quiet and shy and she didn't really like me because I was a loudmouth asshole.

My parents have a seasonally-appropriate story: They met in Boston after a blizzard when my dad was shoveling his car out of the snow. He was using a really tiny, crappy shovel and wasn't getting anywhere, and my mom, who is from Minnesota, made fun of his tiny shovel and offered to help with her much bigger shovel.…

We met while he was on a blind date. I showed up to the same restaurant with some mutual friends. He walked her to her car, told her good night, and spent the rest of the evening (and the next four years) with me.

In July of 2012, I was enjoying my summer vacation (I'm a teacher) and was scouring the Internet for ways to indulge my healthy obsession with "The Hunger Games" book series. One evening, I stumbled upon a HG podcast and listened as voices chatted and joked about casting rumors for the second film, "Catching Fire." As…

My boyfriend found me on Facebook, when he suspected his then-boyfriend of cheating on him with me. He investigated me, decided to start a conversation, broke up with his boyfriend, and asked me on a date. We've been together almost two years.
