I have a good friend with whom I’m really struggling. She is a self-described feminist, but keeps wanting to bring up the recent harassment news. Her theory is that only attractive women get harassed and it’s part of the price you pay for having more “value” on the dating market. (I should add that this friend…

Really, isn’t Kate all of us in this humdrum world: but a woman with a simple dream. I believe it was Jane Austen who noted that it is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single woman in possession of a deputy editorship must be in want of an erotic carp calendar for which she may suggestively pose for fun and…

I will perpetually hate Avatar for one reason (over all the other ones): Unobtainium.

I would love to submit the erotic carp calendar as evidence whenever people talk about the importance of good looks. Not saying that prettiness can’t make the world a nicer place (especially for women), but, whenever you feel bad about yourself, think about how there are women out there much prettier than you whose…

Michael Bay’s Titanic made a much more explosive impact than Cameron’s.

Can we all stop paying attention to James Cameron? Whatever he’s done in the past is fine, but he’s foisting on us four fucking Avatar sequels that nobody wants or needs.

The film is about death and separation

Sounds like someone’s jealous because their own franchise gets more bad reboots than a knockoff Dr. Marten factory

My mom’s new husband is my dad’s little brother. (No lie)

Is there a list for UncleDaddy gifts? Besides lots of wine and therapy for me?

If you hate pumpkin pie you may never have had a truly good punpkin pie.

Give me wax-sealed reliquiaries or give me death!

Oh so now the majority of the homeless population are “crazed” and raving around the streets like the Walking Dead? No. I’ve lived in San Francisco for 30 years and treat a lot of those people in the ER. There are a myriad of different reasons for their alarming outbursts. Everything from psychosis like…

Typically with some kind of psychosis, yes, sometimes—people can say things they would be horrified about in their right mind. However, racist, misogynistic and homophobic outbursts are not typical of people with most mental illnesses such as anxiety, depression or PTSD unless that was a core part of their psyche…

Clearly you’re a witch. So if you could go ahead and cast some terrible spells on Trump (not bunions, as the poor man already has to deal with bone spurs), that would be great!

As far as curses go, that’s a pretty work-appropriate one.

As someone who was just committed to a psychiatric hospital a couple of months ago (on my birthday no less), I can tell you that “breakdowns” do not magically turn you into a racist, antisemitic, violent person. You are much more likely to hurt yourself. When I peak in a manic episode, for example, I have reached the…

mel, i’ve had a couple nervous breakdowns. even was hospitalized for one.
