I thought I didn’t have any moving stories, and then I remembered the time I was briefly homeless after being evicted from my overpriced flat in Clapham because we complained about the lack of reliable hot water and electricity. Got to move all my worldly possessions via the Tube. Then the time I had to leave my flat…

So all his powerful allies really, truly believed he was innocent. Except whoever it was within the church who elevated him to bishop and THEN said, “there should be no more boys”?? Seems legit.

I always feel a little bit sorry* for kids who get nicknames or informal versions as their given names. I went to school with a girl named Vicki and when I asked why her parents didn’t go with Victoria, she said they figured she’d get called Vicki anyway. Firstly, there are people called Tori, mate. Second, why not…

Can confirm. I have had at least two elderly female relatives who named their little dogs Abby. Sorry.

The thing that gets me about all the hand-wringing over “men”* being in women’s bathrooms is that pretty much everyone has shared men’s and women’s bathrooms. In their HOUSE. And by the way, out of some random woman in a public toilet, and the dude in your ensuite, guess who is most likely to attack you?

It always fascinated me that by the time I got to London, about a decade ago, 70s skinhead chic had been firmly co-opted by a subset of the gay community. In my youthful naivete, I gently suggested to a gay friend that this was a foolhardy choice, but he and his mates were pretty confident. Fashion and identity are…

And someone else did it for her. Which is very on brand, at least.

I just want to see Aunt Becky and OJ react to finding out who will play them. Put that on YouTube, Olivia Jade.

This looks like one of those photos that is supposed to show you what having a stroke feels like. Everything in that picture looks familiar but I still have no clue what the fuck I'm looking at.

I agree with you, but I’d modify that rule to “get away with it”. He’s been caught, we all know about it, but he’s still getting away with it. See: still the president of the USA. I too am intrigued to see how things will play out, especially once he’s left office, however that happens.

I have a feeling that Miscavige and co are not looking to extend comparisons between their evil cult and this one. Don’t want to put that tax exempt status under any kind of microscope.

This would be a mark against him if he was actually a business man, but what he really is is a conman, so it doesn’t really matter.

Same. This is so crazy to me. How do these assholes pull this shit with a straight face?

Same with my cat. Finally pinpointed which of my pets is my familiar.

I mean, alternatively, just don't harass people? 

For the moment.

Not gonna lie, I'm a little hurt that you misspelt Tig Notaro's name.

Where. Is. RIHANNA?

There are so many things about this that are distressing. “Otherwise unblemished”? So, actually blemished?

What would possess a person to ask a stranger,"is that your baby?"???
