everything can't be written or created by Tyler Perry

I like how they alternate who is Kim and who is Kanye.

Well, 13 year olds have boobs and wear tank tops. There's nothing tacky about it. There's also nothing overtly sexual about it.

dude that's like...just her face tho

Not everyone looks the same at 13. She looks pretty normal to me. A little serious, but it's a photo shoot.

No.

I don't think so at all. I was actually thinking how nice it was that she was not sexualized.

I think she looks her age here—the styling is, as the headline trumpets, quite natural. What about this image feels sexualized to you?

Ya know, since I have become my baby, gained weight, and gotten older, the catcalling HAS diminished, and yes, in a weird way, I miss being seen as attractive.

Eh? The fuck are you talking about?

Uh. nope. Catholics are okay with evolution.

Jesuits... the shit, man.

It's not a big deal at all.

The Catholic Church has never opposed the Theory of Evolution, and it was a Catholic priest and physics professor who originally proposed what's now known as the Big Bang Theory.

The people who think the Catholic Church opposed Evolution or BBT simply don't know what they're talking about, or…

Not even slightly. Catholics have believed this for years.

I'm a Christopher Pike fan from way back, and totally agree. I enjoyed the Fear Street series, but his books had me scared me well into my high school years.
