Cats, post-anesthesia, are insane.

Make plans to see her where you meet in private first, and just straight up tell her, "I love you, but it's hard right now to be with you because you look so much like her." She will probably be very understanding about that. Are their parents living? Because she's probably seeing her sister a lot in them. I had a…

I have never ordered anything custom from ebay, but here are some suggestions if this is THE dress.

I know quite a few people who wouldn't have a clue where to start cooking a beef stew, or any kind of soup or any of a number of simple, cheap meals. It does take time to learn to cook, which I imagine would be really stressful if you were trying to learn only during after-work hours, when you have to also deal with…

Some parents work at night all or some of the time, and have to be at work 6 or 7 p.m., or they have a very long commute that puts them home at 8 p.m. or later. Or they work 12-14-hour days all the time. Some parents work multiple jobs, and don't have entire days of any week with time off. And none of that takes…

ALL OF THIS. And also, you have to be able to/create opportunities to adjust fitted clothes if you're going to be sitting down and getting back up again. I think that unfortunate skirt on the "lunch" outfit might have looked better before she sat in a car/at a table and then got out/up.

"Relentlessly unflattering" says it perfectly. So much fabric right around the waist/lower stomach on practically every outfit!

Yeah, according to the super devout, Jesus's love and almighty care are actually pretty fickle and inconstant. You're all out there doing your best to earn/deserve His favor all the time, but the payoff is totally dependent on other people correctly loving and worshiping him too, and they just fuck you all up left…

Reports are now saying he shot and killed his own mother, who was a kindergarten teacher at the school. Her classroom was where a lot of the children were killed. Fucking What The Fuck.

I had several scary conversations during the last round of attempted passage of a fetal personhood law in my state, in which we talked about that issue as "moving the goal posts." Suddenly, we found ourselves defending every form of birth control other than condoms, the morning after pill—everything. Anti-choice…

Honestly? Probably so. If not FOF, then one of the many organizations dedicated to forcing women to keep their rape pregnancies. One way to make sure there's no rape exception laws limiting abortion access is to make up reasons why women just don't get pregnant from rape. Either the female body shuts that whole…

THIS. What the fuck is wrong with people who are into blood sports? That shit is so obviously wrong. What kind of beings are we that, throughout history and around the world, humans have created competitions that celebrate death and mutilation? That poor, sweet dog didn't deserve to have his fucking face mutilated…

*Big Internet Hugs* I lost my Dad several years ago. I was lucky enough to have him in my wedding, but one of my first, saddest thoughts when he died was that my kids would never know him. (I don't even want any kids, it's like that emotion was just coming out to torture me extra.) And multiple people I care about…

The adult-ladies VS has a red thong with a giant bow back that I think is freakin' adorable—for an adult. I'm not against sexiness, nor do I deny that teens have sex. I am against sexist-ness intentionally aimed at teenagers.

Victoria's Secret PINK is targeted toward teen and preteen girls who don't necessarily have fully formed, let alone nuanced, understandings of their bodies or sex. "Access to my body/vagina is a gift for someone else"/"Sex acts involving my body are done by other people, not by me." It's perfectly in line with the…

Go get you some mood-killin' man-hatin' sex-rejectin' drawers! (At least, that's what they mean according to some other commenters who I guess don't believe in explicit, verbal consent as part of safe and ethical sex.)

The uproar is that the specific line in question, "Victoria's Secret PINK," is marketed toward teens and preteens. "Access to my body/vagina is a gift to someone else," is not exactly constructive or helpful to sexually curious or sexually active teenage girls.

THIS. I don't think the sort of constant-contact and physical closeness of childhood/college years best friendships is actually meant to last. People grow and change, and the pressure to be the "same" friends you've always been can become stifling. I once had a "best friend" who actively tried to enforce a "Be who…

If that's the raw food diet equivalent of "oatmeal," then count me out!
