Kind of like how people are shaming Jennifer Garner for helping Ben get into rehab.  It’s a lose-lose.

My older son (he’s 27 now) lost his best pal to leukemia when they were both 11. We were very close to the family, the hospital even broke their own rules to let my son spend the night in the ICU with his friend.

1972. My youngest brother had cancer. He wasn’t quite 2, and my mom had been cooking and cooking and cooking. Chemo is a bitch, and he wouldn’t eat. One night she’s wrecked, my other brother and I are hungry, she throws us all in the car to go to McD’s -- a huge treat. The baby ate most of a cheeseburger, everyone’s…

Shitting on a job at Trader Joe’s is an epic case of classicism. To us lowly small business owners and everyday workers, TJ’s pays very well, has a fantastic record for employee satisfaction, and it offers some of the most complete employee healthcare packages with a focuse on ethical business practices..... soooo,…

Men of all races are fucking predators. We’re talking about all men because it’s true. And white men have the most predatory behavior, throughout history and now. You should be grateful this article doesn’t go into the nasty lil habit WHITE priests and pastors have of molesting little boys. 

This is the one thing I’ve never understood when it comes to cheating. Why does the cheated on partner go after the other person and NOT the person who they were in a relationship with and who actually did something wrong? (this happens no matter the genders/orientation involved)

It doesn’t help that whenever NAFTA talks happen, Trump goes to a rally and just starts to insult Canada and shit all over the negotiations by lying about how bad Canada cheats the US. He’s such a damn idiot, he thinks no one will report on what he says, and while yes, most US news networks don’t bother, our Canadian…

I hear the same shit, often from professed Christians. My response is usually along the lines of “God doesn’t give a shit. Someone’s asking for your help;  help them, and you’ve passed the test.”

That gong was awesome.

They are asking that the case be referred to the International Criminal Court. Myanmar is not a state party to the Rome Statute (the treaty that governs the ICC and binds states parties), so the only way the Court could get jurisdiction is by the UN Security Council referring the situation to the ICC.* Basically, the…

I hate to hurt anybody. I’m not trying to hurt my friend

We are mere ribspawn.

Wait. If a woman's only job is to give birth to baby boys, then how would the world repopulate itself after the regular handmaids die off? Guy needs to learn sex ed. 

I read, I think on Jez, about how the most important thing for a rom-com lead to be able to do is to look at the person he’s in love with. It’s all in the look. Both Young and Wu absolutely nailed that gaze—you totally believed these people were perfect for each other.

I’m not surprised that everyone is gushing over Henry Golding; He’s very handsome and I thought he was great in the movie. But...Constance Wu was the heart and soul of the movie and should be getting way more press for her wonderful performance. I’m going to see it again this weekend, mostly because I want to watch…

Um, Yessss. He’s beautiful. 

This is what right-wingers get wrong when they view this issue. They think libs are silent about this while shouting about things like children in cages at the border. And that indicates a bias towards certain kinds of justice and injustice. This is not the case. The reason we’re silent about this is because no noise…

When a White man kills somebody, society blames that one man.

When a Latino immigrant man kills somebody... somehow every Latino is at fault

That’s kind of the textbook definition of racism

It’s a trilogy of books, so it was always meant to be 3.

Worth noting about this film: the author of the novel made it a condition of any deal that the main character not be whitewashed. As soon as she said that, every other production company but this one turned her down.
