this is a tangent, but I read something interesting recently about that whole biological clock thing. Turns out, the main factor in the success of older fathers is not that their fertility decreases less and more on how young their partner is. Older women are also more successful at reproducing if they have younger…

wtf? why does everyone love gilmore girls? this all sounds awful

The number one cause of death among American women is heart disease, not intimate partner violence.

I have some friends in puerto rico who obviously haven’t been able to make contact and it is so stressful not hearing from them. This is just so devastating.

My mom was complaining that my SIL hadn’t done thank you notes yet and I asked if my brother has helped. My mom, usualso feminist, said it’s the woman’s job to write wedding thank you notes. Wt actual F.

Thank yous are basic manners. It can be an email or a phone call instead of a fancy card but yes if someone gives you a gift you give them thanks.

Wtf relationships can be emotionally fulfilling but not sexually and that does not make it basically a friendship. Also the first piece of advice is cheat on him? This advice coloumn sucks.

The daily mail is a garbage tabloid, if that’s your source I’d rethink it.

No ultimate payday, especially given the uphill battle it’ll take her to be believed (see...your own comment..), will be worth what Fox and rightwing media are about to put her through. There are no benefits to accusing someone, especially a powerful white man, of rape. None.

Girls. Underage girls. Don’t try to downplay the allegations - they were informed that their spokesperson was preying on underage girls and they did nothing about it.

I love her. A few years back, I worked at Disney World in the Animal Kingdom Park. Disney has a conservation fund that does a whole lot of good work and at Animal Kingdom the merchandise staff were always supposed to ask if guests would like to make a donation to the fund. They encouraged us to ask by offering prizes…

Chink in the armor is a pretty common analogy for flawed defense, isn’t it? Is he a defensive player? I don’t know basketball. Viewed in the most charitable light, it was a very unfortunate use of an analogy that could be perceived as racist and yeah, POC editors would have probably caught it.

That said, if sports…

People love having me at weddings ‘cause I keep the kids entertained. The parents get to have a good time and I get to play with little ones, it’s the best. I don’t like dancing, generally, but I do love ‘dancing’ with the flower girls and such which pretty much consists of holding them and bounding around or…

So what is it, she was just a sexually curious teenager he was powerless to resist? Or she was a manipulative hussy trying to write a book? Or she somehow thought that sexting with Weinervwould give her influence over the election? They’re saying it’s all three of those? Huh.

Yeah, ‘cause back when everyone just used that particular racial slur freely, it had no power. That’s why people stopped saying it, because it was powerless from people saying it so freely and casually. That makes sense. Good take.

Right?! Jesus. There are people with actual marketing experience not specifically related to a niche audience that are gonna be competing for those jobs.

In fairness, the judges having this inclusive attitude is 100% brand new this season. In an early episode when Nina criticized one of the designers for “hiding her curves” because she tried to cover her model’s belly, I had to laugh because in previous seasons Nina was always the first to tear people apart for…

She didn’t have the right to demand it, but it seems to have been something she asked for that he agreed to and the proceeded to lie about for years. The situation should have been a red flag for both parties at the beginning - for her the fact that her partner had feelings for someone else and for him the fact that…

She’ll do whatever the republicans and the administration want her to do so long as she gets to privatize education and direct public money to christian schools.

Also in Seattle. It’s eerie! No birdsong. The normally busy street where I work is nearly empty. My throat is sore and my head aches from the smoke. The entire state is like this because we’re surrounded by fire. I’ll back you up with those c words.
