It would be a cool gesture of solidarity with the victim to not user the her name on Jezebel. It wouldn't be an empty gesture either. Having fewer high traffic websites recording her sexual history would probably be a nice thing for her future, given that any potential boyfriend, employer, college etc. might google…

OMG I LOVE WATERWORLD AND I HAVE NEVER MET SOMEONE ELSE WHO SHARES THIS FEELING. But I hated the Kevin Costner Robin Hood. Why does he speak old English with an American accent? How can you say the word "doth" without at least TRYING to sound like you know what the words you are saying mean?

So the accuser, who went to the police immediately, was traumatized, alone and impaired, and subject to a hostile interview doesn't have a perfect story. And the other side, who had more than eight months to prepare, a team of lawyers, police help, the opportunity to share notes and edit, and millions of dollars at…

Wait you mean someone wants to do a remake of Varsity Blues?

Also props to ESPN (which doesn't always make good choices) for standing behind their reporter, documenting the decisions they made as a team, and the approval they received from the institution, and defending her work.

Wait, do you really think that getting into a cab with someone is the same as consent to have sex? And that engaging in oral sex means it can't be rape?

HA! There's a new church that just opened right down the street from me called XTREME HARVEST CHURCH! For serious. I've been operating under the assumption that they are turning swords into plowshares via dirtbike races or skateboard competitions.

This. Megachurches are very good at connecting people to each other, developing strong communities, and helping people grow strong friendships with members of the group. They are well-structured, well-organized, and well-run, and they have a lot to offer that progressive churches often can't offer. When you go into a…

I know the pastor at North Mason United Methodist Church, and he's amazingly progressive, and truly committed to economic and social justice, and building open and affirming communities. The congregation is open and affirming of LGBTQ folks. If you live out that way, that church would be a good place to try.

maybe you could crowd-source church recommendations too? There are probably a bunch of readers in most new cities who could help you find a good place.

Isn't the entire point of the books that she's so focused on survival that she doesn't have any interest in romance/sex whatsoever? And both of them are so hung up on her that they are pressuring her to choose? I know that Hollywood media is portraying it as a love triangle, but I see that as a complete misread of the…

http://www.calebwilde.com/ This blog, called "Confessions from a Funeral Director" is really good, and some of the posts are great for walking you through the ins and outs of making funeral arrangements. The author is good about calling out shady practices for what they are, as well as explaining how shady customers…

Yeah, we made sure that our OB wasn't working out of a Catholic hospital before we started anything. But not everyone has that option.

I think the parents do have a lot of influence in the potential success/train-wreck of a child star. Some of that influence is within their control, but some of it isn't. Education, income, etc. have a big role. Winners of the parent lottery probably do better than child stars who didn't have that kind of luck.

Mara Wilson (of the movie Matilda) wrote an interesting article about child stars, that mentions how easily parents can be taken out of the equation. http://www.cracked.com/blog/7-reasons…

We don't really have any evidence about when Jesus was born. Literally no historical data for that. The Biblical accounts are simply not reliable for anything other than information about what early Christians were concerned about proving, and they weren't interested in proving Jesus' birthday. Weird.

This will give that website more traffic than its had in months. This article is great for clickbait, terrible for the world.

Pat Forde writes a weekly column (the Forde-Yard Dash, get it?) that features an eye candy of the week segment ("Dashettes"). Always thin women who conform to traditional U.S. beauty standards. I'm disappointed, but I'm not surprised.

Yeah, I basically try to watch every movie she's in. She's a great actress who picks great movies to be in. I'm looking forward to seeing her in the next one(s).

Considering the fact that a lot of men respond to "Sorry, not interested" with some sort of "fuck you" sentiment, it's no wonder. The problem is that a bunch of jackass men are pissing in the dating pool.
