Thank you for your viewpoint. I do think it's important to point out that while Sea World didn't capture Tilikum from Iceland, he was taken by groups supplying ocean parks when he was 2 and Sea World has and does participate in that same kind of capture. I think there is also a conflict of interest in an organization…

Let's be clear that captivity is always a raw deal for orcas, who have been shown to have emotional depth, and intricate family and social structures; they obviously need way more space to swim in than what they are typically given. Cetaceans are recognized as non-human persons in more than a couple of countries where…

Catholic here. Our popes suck.

I wager that Catholics would be the first to admit that there have been some pretty despicable popes.

And with her definition of feminism, a new girl crush with a mantra is born.

I literally address that exact point in great depth in this article.

I'm not saying that this article isn't called for, but I would also ADORE it if someone wrote an article entitled "How to be Religious Without Being a Dick".

Yes, in my experience Atheists who grew up atheists are super chill. It's the ones who are rebelling against mom and daddy's religion that act like assholes.

Someone please find me a .gif of someone simultaneously looking all YAAAAAY and all BLERGH, to capture all my many feels when I read this badass awesome woman who puts her ass on the line in the name of feminism name check Deleuze, Barthes, and Foucault. PLEASE DO NOT REMIND ME OF ALL THE ASSHOLES FROM MY LIBERAL ARTS…

Yes to everything in this thread. Gaslighting is so infuriating because no amount of responding to the person will make it stop. For me, identifying it is helpful, but has not effect on the guilty party (this is all just in my experience, of course). Oh, but I wish there WAS a way to make gaslighters take a critical…

I think instead of faking there's nothing wrong with being overly vocal (overacting) what does feel good.

Urm, I just have a minor in psych from my undergrad and even I was like "Bros, you're missing the biggest flaw in your conclusion - which is exactly what Erin pointed out: men are less likely to self-report symptoms of mental illness." THAT'S a highly support fact.

a man experiencing disordered anxiety levels or mental health concerns may think nothing's wrong because he was raised in a society that told him that his mental state is the default mental state.

I still don't understand why everyone in Waterworld was so dirty. JUST JUMP IN FOR A SECOND.

2 things:

I have a very similar hair type and a 30-minute walking commute. My method: wash, condition, style as usual (scrunch in v. light gel) and throw up into an insane looking messy bun right on the top of my head—slightly loose to the scalp so it falls a little but doesn't pull. Let it stay like that until the hair around…

My phone won't even cooperate in this heat... WTF is this?

Have you tried antiperspirant? Not the sticky kind; the dry, invisible, glide on type. It can go just about anywhere.Works between and under the boobs and on the back of the neck. I also put it on my feet to prevent sandal-strap-rub.

Last night my band played a gig outside in the 90+ degree North Carolina sun. The ridiculously oppressive humidity made me sweat like a pig — and turned my hair into adorableness. I have super straight hair, and the humidity gave it a little curl. So somehow the heat worked in my favor for this vain purpose.
