This is what happens when outrage trends—writers start looking for something to set them off and don’t think to cross check it with evidence. Readers looking for the next big undoing get on board without question and start spouting rehearsed pseudosociological jargon. Okay, I’m smiling while I type this because it’s a

Best move? Own it. Roll with it. She should sponsor a popular brand of portable grill, kick in endorsements, the whole shebang, a la George Foreman. Call it “Ariana Grillde” or something just as silly. Watch it sell like hotcakes.

A casual flex to say that she’s on a texting basis with Lorde and Grande, but that’s neither here nor there. Halsey makes a good point here...”

Ok but what would have happened if she went to the ER or called 911 with a stillborn? Something tells me she would have been charged in that situation too. And women know this. Which is exactly why shit like this is going to continue happening. We’ve been criminalizing unsuccessful pregnancies for awhile.

How dare you be this reasonable

I think a lot of her critics haven’t actually read her book. And fair enough - I don’t read books just to verify they suck as much as I think they will. But I also don’t go around saying they suck. Just that I figure they do.

She isn’t a minimalist as much as wanting your home tidy and organized so it sparks joy. If books spark joy, have them! Her method is more like gardening of getting rid of the weeds in your life to just have the good things left.

Gaga’s a phony. Copy of a xerox of a reproduction. 

“If I could go back and have a talk with my younger self I’d tell her to go through the therapy I have since then, so that I could understand the confused post-traumatic state that I was in - or if therapy was not available to me or anyone in my situation - to seek help, and speak as openly and honestly as possible

Okay, girl. I see you and your Oscar campaign.

The video was also directed by Terry Richardson and is EXTREMELY disturbing. This apology is too little too late.

It bothers me how invisible the surrogates are in these stories. (I’m not talking about altruistic surrogacy, but when you pay a stranger to carry a child for you). I’m going through IVF at the moment (FET in about a week) and fertility struggles are hard. Finally having a baby after years of wanting a child must be a

Renting another woman's womb and then taking a baby away from the only person it's known for 9 months isn't "just as valid and beautiful" as any other way to become a parent.

Never let reading stop you from publishing a stupid opinion.

Everybody gets all mad about eugenics but look how well dogs turned out. No free will at all. Perfect.

OK, I’m going to have to call a halt here: Cruella de Vil is not Asian!

“Bullying someone who has been open about having a mental disorder...is completely fucked up.”

That’s what insurance is for. What’s the point of having nice jewelry if you can’t enjoy it? I love jewelry, I have a few nice pieces, mostly handed down, and while it would suck to lose them or have them stolen, you can’t take it with you and I think nice things are meant to be enjoyed.

I know this isn’t the larger point here, but good God, that is an ugly, badly-done tattoo. It looks like she went to some scratcher operating out of his kitchen. Although I suppose being stuck with that for life is a pretty fitting bit of justice, considering.

Someone plagiarized from my college paper for his MA! Six years later I finally called his school and confronted him via email. The bastard threatened to sue me after they revoked his masters!
