Yep! I worked as a caterer when I was pregnant with my son and never shied away from the manual labor— loading and unloading trucks, moving chairs and tables— and I swear it’s why I went into labor a week early. Hours after my last planned shift, actually!

Woah there, #notallBavarians
This reminds me of Alex Gibney’s horribly good doc, Mea Maxima Culpa: Silence in the House of God. (Topic is horrible, doc was great.) It’s about the catholic priest abuse scandal, but specifically addresses abuse in a catholic school for the deaf in Milwaukee. Priests prayed on deaf boys because they were so…
It’s disturbing how long guys like him can get away with this just by picking the right victims.
So their argument was that Singer wasn’t a paedophile, he was just in a hurry?
So, can I use this to go off on a bit of a tangent?
He was a horror movie nerd, who went on to get his dream job at Troma. Grossing people out was part of who he as
“She's the Man" is one of the most hilarious movies I have ever seen. That it introduced me to Channing Tatum and his V was just icing on the cake.
The commercial DNA tests have issues. Their cohorts usually have certain ethnic groups underrepresented, and it’s all guesswork, anyway. The ethnicity groups are based on ratios of genetic variants and probability of certain haplotypes (sorry for the jargon) existing in certain populations. So the broad strokes are…
Well, they were a gossip site, non? And because it’s probably a pretty accurate description of how things went/go down in some circles in LA.
Same. Schneider is just fucking gross. And if he’s the primary reason Amanda Bynes dropped off the map I’ll be even MORE PISSED.
I’ve been waiting for the pedos to get called out. Hopefully, Dan Schneider is after Singer.
Thank you, ladies. This is giving me life because female sexual agency is important, and we just can’t protect that or even effectively fight rape culture by treating women like victims every time they have sex we don ‘t like. No to this infantalization. When adult sexual relationships are being discussed, a…
It’s not really about the age difference, it’s about the power imbalance of their roles — even if he was just her boss, that’s a real problem, but he was literally the president, arguably the most powerful person in the world at the time. There doesn’t have to be an explicit threat to her employment for that to be an…
“Just try not to seem too scared” is the entirety of my parenting strategy
Lol I was lucky that my sister, mom and grandma all have the same sensitivities as I do, so they always took me seriously and talked to me about things and I listened to them. Just knowing that her mom believes her will make your daughter appreciate and listen to your advice, I’m sure. Just try not to seem too scared!
That’s because they didn’t actually call an Uber. The dude just picked them up after seeing them on the street, and said he’d give them a ride home. She at first thought she had been in a police car. They actually did a ton of work to find the guy. You should read the Miami times article which goes into real detail.
Aaaarghhhhh!!! This needs more stars!!!
My childhood dog was the sweetest damn creature in the world. We always used to joke that she would happily greet any house intruders with licks. When I was ten I was taking her for a walk in our neighborhood (see: super safe suburbs) and this older man (I later described him to my mother as “grandpa age”) approached…
