Long, long history of that in Hollywood. Huge numbers of actors had to change their names to get famous, both for racist reason (their name was very “ethnic” and Hollywood hates that) or because their name was hard to pronounce. For example, for Jews, you’ve got Marilyn Monroe = Norma Jean Mortensen, Kirk Douglas =…

No clue what Rookie is doing these days. They always seemed like an outgrowth from the 90s girl zines, political with a side of fashion. Whereas Teen Vogue seems more like fashion with a side of social and political commentary.

They are already doing more than most magazines. It’s not going to be perfect. No editorial space that also balances political issues is unless you refuse advertisers. This is being a grown up.

How is that so different from what jezebel does? You advertise products with copy that generally reads like: “ OMFG you guys this new hair straightener is my EVERYTHING”.

Magazines are such a double-edged sword once you remember the real products are the readers and the buyers are advertisers.

I think it makes them jaded.

But it IS the guera’s fault if she allows these distinctions to be made without challenging them or, worse, puts stock in the distinctions herself (I’m boho; she’s primitive) and treats people accordingly. And that’s what a lot of people do.

Adenosine is actually found all over nature in general. It’s basically one of the 4 letters of DNA (technically deoxyadenosine, called by the name of the purine base adenine that’s a part of it) and plays a huge role in metabolism as ATP, adenosine triphosphate. It’s used as an antiarrythmic drug, so maybe that’s why…

Jez, why is your shit not ADA compliant yet???? No closed captioning on videos, no transcripts for podcasts. You know you could get sued, right?

Now THAT is a headline I never thought I’d see.

I like her, I want to be her friend. Now I’m going to go watch the other Clothes Whores vids I managed to miss somehow. Also, she has great skin.

(And kudos to you on your pregnancy as well!)

If your baby is able to kick your balls while in a sling, they are in the sling wrong. While in a sling, a baby’s thighs should be parallel to the ground, never straight down. Their hips haven’t formed yet and you can cause serious hip dysplasia by putting them in a carrier with their legs straight down. Their lower…

I guess for as far as reboots go Harbour is the best choice if the role must be recast. At least it’s not Leto right?

My kid will just have to shop in vintage stores. There is no way I am keeping my clothes around long enough for this future baby to be a future teen. :)

I love absolutely everything about this story.

We had a talking parrot when I was a kid and they are so incredibly smart. He would yell “shut the door” whenever anyone left the house and learned to count in English and Spanish from watching Sesame Street with me. His language skills were incredible and he actually adapted and learned. My mom hated him and always…

I forgave both questionable plot threads from last week because last night’s finale was executed so well. The thing that bugs me was Sam’s arc this past season. What was the point of him going to the citadel? To cure Jorah of grayscale, just so Jorah could return to the story like nothing happened? To do nothing…

It was what I expected to happen all season because it fit thematically, but man is it unearned from a story or character perspective. The writers (and directors) went out of their way to try and stupidly mislead the viewers. 90% of the time. Twists are fine if even if they’ve been predicted as long as they fit the…

How can he fly with giant holes in his wings?
