I just came here to say the East River is the smelly one and the Hudson is actually a tidal estuary.

I think it’s always helpful to remember Mark Zuckerberg’s a billionaire because he initially wanted to rank women at Harvard because they wouldn’t date him.

Did you also ask your doctor dad to crowd source coronavirus advice on facebook?  Because Karlie did at Jared’s request.

Ivanka didn’t just tweet to lie about taking credit for the vaccine, she did so in the service of telling a regular citizen (e.g. not government official, not famous) to basically shut up and be happy about the thing Ivanka’s lying about.

Since I’m in the grays and my original comment will probably never get approved, just want to cosign your post. Representation ALWAYS matters, especially in a traditionally misogynistic institution like the military and Pentagon as a whole.

There are ton of issue with the U.S. defense industry, but the military is also a source of opportunity for a lot of people who wouldn’t otherwise have one. It’s how my sister in law got her U.S. citizenship and financial independence. It’s how her and my brother have health insurance. It’s how my niece and nephew…

I’ve been luckier than most as well, but my friends and I talk at least once a month about how much we’ll sob when we can physically see and hug each other again.

I feel you.  I’m in NYC so stayed home basically since March, have only seen three of my friends once each since (distanced, outside, over the summer), completely missed my friend’s entire pregnancy and now her new baby, and won’t be seeing my family for Thanksgiving this year even though I really want to (and haven’t…

This Anglo-Saxon just moved in with my Italian in-laws and I’m most excited for heaping platters of antipasti and pasta along with the Turkey this Thanksgiving.

I’m sure you don’t care, but I’m going say it anyway as a New Yorker who lived next to a morgue truck full of my dead neighbors for three months earlier this year. This comment is in extremely poor taste in the pandemic when the place you call a “worthless wasteland” has actually done a pretty decent job of rebounding…

Seduced includes a young woman from Mexico who was a victim and kept locked in a room for two years under Lauren and Keith.

I think it’s important to note that India was 19 and a college dropout when she was introduced to NXIVM and subsequently Keith and in her first session, was purposefully separated from her mother. Biologically, her brain wasn’t fully formed when she was indoctrinated into a cult. Mark and Sarah were both fully grown…

Yeah, I work with factories in China that were recently closed for their mid-Autumn festival. Used to work for two different companies owned by modern orthodox Jewish families of Syrian descent that closed offices for two days for Sukkot every year. If you think an appreciation for fall, even going so far as to…

I’m mid 30's and it still feels weird to use “woman” instead of “girl” (socialization is a hell of a drug), but it does get less weird I promise! To each their own of course, but what helped me was thinking about the perception of the person I’m talking to. Regardless of whether my conversation partner is my best…

I LOVE the Napiers. I wanted, even tried to not like them for no reason other than they seemed too hokey and “down home” to this cynical New Yorker. But to your point, their authenticity comes through, they include WAY more POC than Fixer Upper and they clearly have a solid, fun relationship. One season of the show…

I’m now realizing when my friend and I watched it in college for a class of hers, Mark was on the board of that damn cult.

Read your comment on my phone and came to my laptop specifically to respond.

Used to LOVE trips to Action Park as a kid. I think I was only a year or two older (and my brother was younger) than the poor kind who’d died by electrocution there. An unbelievable tragedy at the time obviously and I hope the family has been able to find some peace in the time since.

100%. I’m white and woefully without rhythm, but I also loved “Save the Last Dance” and wrote a term paper in 2004 on how I thought it would be the end of tokenism, my thesis was the concept of a white women adapting to a Black environment in the context of a predominantly Black cast marketed as a “mainstream teen…

My best comeback, and completely on brand, wasn’t intentional, but a genuine answer to what seemed like a dumb question to my childhood self.
