Face wipes?! Girl no. I support you in wanting to find a low effort skincare routine, but makeup wipes do not remove your sunscreen, they just smear the layer of oil, SPF, dead skin cells and general grime to other parts of your face. That’s gross! Plus they’re really fucking wasteful. If you’re not wearing any

It’s teamwork 101 to provide opportunities for people to interact that are casual and not strictly about work. You’re more likely to bend for a person you know and respect rather than a person you’re assuming is the picture of everything you’re against. It also gives you insight on their motivations and ultimate

Why don’t you just use soap and a reusable washcloth to get the clean gentle scrub? Or a reusable (non-electric) face brush for a more intense clean? Wipes have plastic in them, come in plastic packaging, and add to landfills. Fine once in a while, but each one you use will be on the earth hundreds of years after you

Sucking face at 50 is no different than sucking face at 20--somewhat inappropriate in public, but no big whup.  People just don’t like seeing people in their fifties and over confirming that we still like sex.

We got him, guys!  Zinged him good!

What often gets glossed over is that her experience is a very Irish one. We’re a similar age and our upbringings were full of the same cloying religiosity and stark hypocrisy that passed for “normal” back then.

The Jews were treated like “second class citizens?” No, second class citizens get their polling places taken away and impediments to voting written into the laws of their states. The Jews in Germany before and during the second World War were treated and exterminated like non-humans. Like toxic bugs. Like so much

I’m That Person at parties and happy hours because I point out that it was Sinead O’Connor who publicly called out the Catholic Church for sex abuse long before the Boston Globe ever did. The following year, a real estate developer found mass graves from the Magdalene laundries.

This sucks. And hurts. My father loved Clapton. Worshiped at his alter of guitar playing to the point of handcrafting his own amp to duplicate the amp Clapton used on the legendary John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers album. Owned multiple Strats, of course. Could play pretty much any Clapton solo note for note.

I feel like these leggings are not crotchless. Crotchless to me says that they are open at the crotch, so that maybe you could easily engage in some vaginal penetration without taking the leggings off. I get what I think they are saying when they call them crotchless, but it is not how I am used to hearing the word

A slideshow-listicle seems inappropriate for a topic like this.

There’s a lack of scientific evidence because science has never bothered to look into the matter before. There’s no evidence either way. Be wary of wellness culture and the consumerism involved, but don’t dismiss women’s claims that hormonal birth control wasn’t great for their mental health just because no one’s yet

I’m thrown by the sneering at people who don’t want to use hormonal birth control? I haven’t used it in years, not because I’m a sucker for “wellness” buzzwords but because it made a noticeable negative difference for me. I’m excited that we’re exploring alternatives because my (non-hormonal) IUD was really painful to

When one of my good friends from high school finally came out to us it was an emotional thing for him and us all. After the tears and hugs and such my other friend said bluntly to break the ice “We always sorta kind of suspected but based on your terrible fashion sense we figured you were just really bad with girls”.

Are... are ya’ll refrigerating limes? Why?

This all could have been avoided with a simple “Unborn Baby on Board” sticker in the back window.  Then the mother would have had a police escort back to her kitchen, where she could take her shoes off and get back to work.

Anybody know of an entertainment site with active comments where every second article isn’t about how everybody in entertainment is secretly a piece of shit?

We have them come out EVERY YEAR here in Texas. But the sounds they make are what makes it a Southern Summer.  Heat, Humidity, BBQ smoke, and the sounds of cicadas in the trees singing their songs.  Their little larval shells that they leave behind are weird though. 

you mean that shit she did as a child with no real knowledge of what it meant, that everyone shat on you for posting about in the last comments section?

hooray! she looks great and I am super happy that her hair is growing back so healthy!
