I would agree, if only because Simone Biles has already won and won and won, helping her team dominate gymnastics at two Olympics. MAYBE if it was her very first go-round, people could be a little pissed and say the spot should have gone to someone in a better headspace, or something (I still don’t think so, but just…

Fun fact: remember Kerri Strug injuring herself and limping off the mat and into Larry Nassar’s perverted arms and she was a national hero?

Seems to me she’s protecting her mental and physical health because if you aren’t in a good headspace you can seriously injure yourself doing gymnastics. You can hurt yourself when you’re in the right frame of mind so I can’t imagine what it would be like dashing toward a vaulting table and trying to tumble off it…

I appreciate Ms. Biles and have no issue with her withdrawal.  I have a major issue that people are gonnna mention Nassar in every single fucking article about gymnastics. For instance, the WaPo yesterday managed to rope in Nassar’s abuse into an article about the German(!) gymnastics team’s decision to wear…

I square it by thinking about the kind of life threatening skills she has to perform. MJ or Serena won’t be catastrophically injured if they aren’t in the right headspace at all times. Simone is in that exact position - if she’s off by a fraction of an inch or a sec b/c hesitation, she’s either dead or paralyzed for…

To the first part of your comment... I have a hard time making phone calls or even opening bills because of the anxiety it can trigger.  So these athletes that compete in front of the world is just something I can’t begin to fathom.

Hillsong is one of the worst exports we in Australia gave to the world. It isn’t a religion. It’s a cult. A full blown cult. Started by a paedophile and taken over by his son, who then blamed the victims of his father for leading his father astray and for somehow or other tempting him.. And who then tried to pay off…

I remember Bennifer 1.0 and it did seem like they were really into each other but the press circus around them was fucking bonkers and I totally buy that it put a lot of undue stress on them and drove them apart. I think most people have that person that they wish they could have had a do-over with, so seeing them get…

In talking with my wife last week about this very same topic, I had pointed out to her that for the first time in my life I am actually in fear of what the future of this country will look like. While I always have had a healthy fear of what may happen to me, my wife or one of my kids being pulled over by some racist…

I miss Pissing Contest :(

Kitchenette goes, Pissing Contest goes, but Dirt Bag is apparently not going anywhere.

I’ve honestly had the thought that if we told these people that their unused vaccines were going to be sent abroad it might kick some of them into action. Cuz they hate science but they also really hate foreign aid.

On the positive side, most of the cases are in the southern, northeast and panhandle of Florida. the Orlando area seems to be doing ok. But I wouldn’t be surprised if Disney reinstated the mask mandate if the numbers continue to rise. They’ve been pretty good about COVID. Universal on the other hand, is a goddamn free…

My great aunt is in her 90's but absolutely remembers when they got vaccinated against polio....you had to carry your card, and people were HAPPY about it because it meant a deadly and crippling disease would soon be gone.

Samantha already told us what she thought of evolving ideas about sexuality and gender expression. She’d probably love 2021!

Carrie was pretty fucking dumb about it during the episode where Alanis kissed her. Okay so kissing a woman isn’t your thing, but you’re a 30-something woman who has lived in NYC for at least a decade. It’s not THAT shocking or disgusting FFS.

I would have said she died after she had un-authorized mods done to her toys. She came as she went.

I’m Sarah Jessica Parker’s age, and the idea of “age appropriate” clothing gives me the serious crawls. My grandmother thought it was a literal sin for women to look good/pay attention to their looks/stay current as they aged (vanity, dontcha know?) and I really, really think we should be past that.  It’s tiring and…

it’s the same as pizza dough. gotta give it a night in the fridge to settle out before you pizza pie it.

Rebooting Sex and the City without the only woman in the show I remember actually having sex is certainly a choice.
