I don't really listen to her music but I know she actually plays guitar and writes her own songs often so I'll give her credit for that but pop's not my kinda thing. I have some friends who are big fans so they show me interviews and such. She seems like a nice person who is good to her fans and friends and has…

Man, I was really hoping it was Juliette Barnes. Though that might be because I've watched so much Nashville recently I'm confusing it with real life.

I hate how much shit this show gets. I totally understand not liking it. I vacillate. But there are SO many shows that are worse that don't get nearly as much flak as Girls does, and I do think that, whatever you think about the very particular style of the show, it is well-done in that particular style. I also think…

Hey, Taylor Swift stan. It's a joke! I like Taylor a lot. I think it's cute she and her bestie look alike sometimes. They look similar. It's not INTENTIONAL so chill.

ETA: And Karlie Kloss is a talented superstar model. Not a nobody (whatever that is). If Taylor likes her, I think her fans can like her too.

I was going to say. He isn't bad, but no one can touch Hank Williams. I am not much of a dancer and I don't think much of country music, but, if you put Hank on, I'll dance.

Yes! Except Dunham who has a famous mom. I still like the show.

It's almost as if gay people can be gay without it being a huge defining trait in their personality and/or storyline.

Yes bonds are a normal part of the justice process, and determined based on how much of a flight risk the defendant is as much as the crimes he's accused of. The fact that he's been limited to house arrest, despite being out on bond, is actually quite unusual. He hasn't been found guilty of anything yet. This isn't…

Thompson Twins is a totally underrated band.

I love her and her musical style. I hope she becomes bigger.

I think Jezebel rallied around Jill Scott at about the same level that they rallied around Aubrey Plaza, Kat Deeley, Kelley Brook or the 100 or so other women who had their photos hacked who aren't as famous right now as Jennifer Lawrence. If Beyonce had similar photos stolen from her and posted online I'm sure…

Lots of women say they suck at things as a means of either being charming or as a way of making others feel at ease about themselves. I used to say it frequently, even though I never meant it most of the time, when I wanted others to feel better. Example: "Oh Nice Person, you made a mistake? Don't worry about it, I…

I am almost weeping reading this. Sometimes I am up to here with the "love yourself" rhetoric because Western culture is severely lacking in a dedication to community, but the advice in Polly's column is solid gold.

It's amazing, isn't it, that to be a "good" person requires so much stifling of self? In such little ways that are so socially sanctioned that you don't even realize?

Update: Ask Polly is now a fave too. That was amazing. Letting go of that control and need to be very, very sane and rational and never make waves is hard. I was really not in control in any way in high school/early college and thought swinging the other way 100% would fix everything.

You don't even have to send it to his mom, just show him you could. Although tbh I am all for a new craze of mom-shaming these guys into acting right.

I too wouldn't be able to resist replying every so often.

I like to imagine that multiple black women have called him a punk and his oblivious takeaway was that they thought he was Ashton Kutcher.
