Funny, I feel like an actress whose talent is widely adored, beauty widely regarded and class uniformly recognized shouldn’t have to answer to a commenter about her neck. She’s gorgeous. She’s also over the age of 30. I’m sure she’d apologize but she has three tv shows to shoot.

You can moisturize til kingdom come but when you approach being a septuagenarian that inevitably happens. I am not convinced any skin products, except sunscreen, fulfill the wild claims they make. That whole industry is a class action lawsuit waiting to happen.

I ran a Cat Shelter for twelve years. This infection is very rarely contracted and when it is, it tends to be by people with compromised immune systems.

he flight attendant told her that she could not give her one but then handed an unopened can of beer to a man seated nearby. Ahmad questioned the flight attendant.

I’ve been handed unopened soda cans on many carriers, United included. But then again I was white and not wearing a hijab so clearly was no threat (eye-roll).

I believe her. Irl I regularly have to deal with old white people who call me a Pakistani terrorist upon seeing my brown skin and hearing my accent.

I cannot understand why no one spoke up for her. Especially when the bigot told her to shut the fuck up. No way in hell would I have kept my mouth shut.

I know Tahera. She is the real deal, and a totally reasonable human being who gives everybody the benefit of the doubt. This is bullshit and shouldn’t happen to anyone. But it probably happens all the time, and I’m glad she’s in a position to call it out.

So your paranoia means your kid can't have a life? Cool...

I finally managed to make perfect soft boiled eggs three times in a row!

on yik yak there was a huge debate about the word “feminist.” guys and girls wanted a new word for it even those who claimed they were feminists. because the word has “fem” in it, they feel it’s one-sided. there was someone who said they were a girl and just shit all over feminists. “she” got so many upvotes. i hate…

I used to do the “hands on hips,” “look how glamorous I am” poses alllll the time when I was a little kid in the early ‘90’s, and I know EXACTLY where I got it from:

That really drives how purely this is about bullshit “modesty” culture (which is just another word for rape culture). It has nothing to do with the actual child’s body—just as you say, your daughter’s body is only considered wanton and slatternly when people realize she’s a girl. The exact same body is perfectly…

I got side-eye because my baby girl (which you could only tell because I’d stuck her in these stupidly cute pink, ruffled, flower-print swim bottoms) didn’t have a shirt. I put her in the equally stupidly cute green bottoms with elephants and everyone at the pool is all smiles for my handsome little man.

What backwoods place do you live that people don’t put a hand on their hip on occasion? It’s a normal, HUMAN thing to do. The fact that you associate putting a hand on your hip solely with Pamela Anderson is fucking weird. I’m a,so guessing that if your daughter at 19 was dressing up as Pam Anderson you are in your…

I see little girls striking this pose A LOT these days. It comes from everywhere. Billboards, magazines, store windows and even their dolls and cartoons. Whether Jessica taught it to her or not, it’s still not sexual.

Reminds me of Merrill Markoe’s bit about why we shouldn’t look to supermodels and actresses for beauty tips—what advice can they really offer besides, “Next time you’re born, try to have better looking parents”?

I let my 19 month old run around in just in swim bottoms because 1) she’s 19 months old, there is nothing remotely sexual about her pre-pre-pre-pubescent body 2) I ain’t got time to try an wrestle a wrigling toddler out of a wet lycra top or, god forbid a 1-piece swimsuit. Last year, I got some side-eye for this (yes,…
