My veganism came about more from the health route, but I'd presume that humanely raised or not, you still have to kill them to eat them. And "humanely" raised isn't often that humane at all; most people don't have access to a farm that they trust, so it can be difficult to verify whether it is or not. I don't really…

The fastest way to ensure you don't enjoy something is to insist on seeing invisible agendas where none exist.

As it progresses you get to know each character better and better. It mimics Piper's experience that way. You realize she's not really supposed to be likable right? And her whiteness and privilege are center-pieces of the story?

You know, being child-free is often a conscious choice for many women in their child-bearing years who are physically capable of having kids, and therefore it's a choice every bit as worthy of discussion as breastmilk vs. formula or attachment parenting vs. crying it out or leaning in vs. leaning out or whatever the…

Child-free is a phrase that I always thought was funny. Like 'Sugar-less Tea'. Sugar-less Tea is just TEA. And a child-free woman is just a Woman.

Not sure if anyone will reply to this, as I'm still in the grey, but I feel like this might be a good place to reach out to any Jezzies who have had surgery before and can maybe help me calm down.

So, a self-proclaimed "well known" American actor used ThoughtCatalog to anonymously come out.

I don't really enjoy hanging around with babies, either, and I avoid this. I don't find pregnant women or the concept of pregnancy disgusting, not that they should care what I think about the state of their bodies in the least; but here are some things that I do happen to find disgusting:

I am less bothered by this trend than I am the trend of people posting unflattering photos of ME on Facebook. The latter is a much more egregious violation of privacy (and vanity), and also more important in general, because it affects me directly.

As someone with absolutely crippling periods, I am so game. I work in a super hot kitchen, and the only thing worse than that is having to work in a super hot kitchen while cramping, trying not to throw up, and barely being able to stand from the back pain.

My reaction if I ever see a breast milk lollipop in a store:

We're fighting those fuckers (bedbugs) now. It's awful. T-T

A friend and I (I'm a marine biologist) had a discussion to determine the physiology of mermaids. We came to the conclusion that they are mammals all the way to the pelvic area, so they were still able to carry babies like a human (or, to be more sea-themed), a dolphin. Also like a dolphin, their tail is an extension…

Oh, I know where your marine biologist buddy's problem started, or at least part of where it started. There was a special on the Discovery Channel that was presented in a documentary style, with a very brief disclaimer at the end that it was fictional.

So this is basically the crystallization of rape culture: "men who rape do so because they can't control themselves, they rape because they're sex addicts, they rape because women actually want it, etc etc." So this is what happens when rape culture is internalized by a particularly violent, sadistic person.

You can have my TV when you pry it from my cold, dead hands. NETFLIX LIVES ON IT. ;) I prefer to eat decently (I love sugar, not sorry) and run crazy distances. I'm fit and healthy as a horse. If I wanted to get skinny skinny, I could clean up my diet. I'm worried that'll swing me back into EDNOS, though, so I just…

Can we also discuss the plain fact that for every person who looks good in this color palette there are 10 more who look like comical zombie clowns? The electric boogaloo color scheme that stores are forcing down our throats — hot pink, purple, electric blue — is not working for me.

They could, but it's not socially acceptable to do.

Having worked for the Obama campaign and being disappointed with several aspects of his administration, I gotta say hearing him speak up on this issue made me really proud of him. White people (and I say this in the least offensive way possible) can never really know how utterly demoralizing racial profiling can be,…
