Ugh. Why couldn't she just apologize? Why couldn't she just own it? Yes, I know you've broken barriers for women in sports...that's why what you said was even worse. Serena's supposed to be the antidote to Steubenville, her whole career has been about redefining sports culture so it values women for their strength and…

While I never understand fat-shaming generally, I especially don't get it coming from people like Rex Reed, who is not exactly in Adonis-like shape himself. But god bless Melissa McCarthy..."swimming in hate" is my new favorite catchphrase.

Chris Pratt is a good one!

I totally think Kyle Chandler should be the young Bill Clinton.

Oh, yeah, we silly fat girls are just being sooo picky by demanding clothing that actually covers our bodies without having to wear Liberace's caftan. We might as well want to fly!

Aww, hey, troll! You're cute, but I think your bridge is getting lonely. Maybe you should go back and guard it, like the Walder Frey acolyte you are.

I think mod cloth is totally cute, but the one dress I bought from them (roughly a 10/12) was way, way too short. As in, all the fabric was spent covering my boobs with barely any left for my booty. Anyone else had that problem with them?

Jesus... they should just fire this guy, tenure or no. I'm sure there are 1,000,455 people on the market who are more qualified than him AND can manage not to be a prejudiced jerk.

I loved how elegant Maleficent was compared to Aurora, but I can't really knock the movie entirely because I think it's generally visually gorgeous, like a moving tapestry. In fact, I really like most of the disney princess movies because they're like little micro-introductions to art and music, even if it's in the…

Amen! It's a problem because we've come to associate systematically evil things — like white supremacy and misogyny — with individual character traits. We think "Oh, but Danny is such a friendly guy, he volunteers at the local animal shelter, he visits his grandmother, he's a good kid" so of course his White Student…

God bless the people who do this with kids. I hate going through airports, but I always think the process must be 1,00000 times harder with kids and that airports should really do more to accommodate families with young children; it would ultimately make the whole process easier for everyone.

I've had the same experience re: converting. It's happened to me twice. And I've always wondered about the psychology behind it — like, is this religious person scared that, if the plane crashes and we all die, they will go to heaven because they were in the process of trying to save someone? Is this something they…

I am usually fine once I'm in my seat on the plane —- it's the whole experience of the airport before then that I find so nerve-wracking. The long waits for checking a bag, and I'm always anxious about going through security — the long wait up to it, constantly wondering if the line I'm in will run out of bins, how…

bwahaha. new scene: tim walks to the closet in the corner of his lincoln log styled bedroom. he finds nelly's letter jacket hanging alone in his closet. he takes the sleeve and holds it to his cheek, brokeback mountain style. world = saved.

1) Look, barnacle, I'm black (actually, half-black, if that's good enough for you) and this was the education I was given at 13 years old. So I don't need you preaching to me about miscegenation and I definitely don't want to hear your argument that a black female slave was capable of having a consensual relationship…

Seriously, go fuck yourself. I also find it highly offensive that you throw around Harriet Jacobs's autobiography as if it's supposed to represent all of our stories across slavery. (Incidentally, the first time I read Jacobs's book was in my public southern high school, so again...go lump it if you don't like it).

That is the most laughable misreading of Incidents I've ever heard of. And where was her awesome white boyfriend when she had to hide in an attic for weeks on end just to get out of the South?

Hey, there, welcome to the internet. If you're going to crucify one clause out of an entire post I make on here, then be prepared to have the same done to you. I stand by the fact that students at private schools generally have better resources and a fuller range of topics available (including topics such as sexual…

I never said it was purely a private school thing — just that private schools are generally more able and willing to discuss issues of sexual and racialized violence than public schools because they are not held to federal and state regulations and federal and state funding. But I would be fascinated to know which…
