I'm still trying to convince my girlfriend she doesn't need to wear makeup....

The best people never run for president. The very best people never even go into politics, they work in kosher delis and quietly put 15 people in a freezer to save them from terrorists without making a big song and dance about it.

I see no problem with saying no when you're initially asked to be in the wedding party. That's why you ask someone to be a bridesmaid, not dictate to them. You just have to spin it appropriately: "You have no idea how much I appreciate you asking me to be in your wedding, but I don't have the resources this year to

I was in a wedding party where the bride booted the maid of honor from the wedding during the bachelorette party. Excessive booze, crying, hot tub fighting - it was all very Real Housewives-esque.

What I mean is that she makes it sound like a he said/she said situation when it's actually a "Cosby says he's not a rapist but a whole lot of women say he raped them" situation.

Whereas Rowling is alive and able to spin whatever fable she wants to?

Dear journalists: Who, what, when, where, why, how. You're welcome.

Also, wouldn't it be great if universities investigated rape as diligently and swiftly as they investigate rape accusations.

We are taking this seriously and apologize to anyone who was affected by the story.

I get that their goals are "noble" but there was zero reason to appropriate lynching as a tool against the KKK. That shit is triggering as fuck and not a joke. Lynching was a real, horrible thing. It's not a rhetorical device to use when you swoop in with your white ally cape.

AAAAAHHHHH!!!! I'm white!!! Am I under attack????

Look at it as an added cost of not handling rape cases correctly the first time.

All because I was taught I'm supposed

Her daughter isn't avoiding touch. Her daughter is touching on her terms. That sounds healthy to me.

I literally had the worst day EVAR last week. I woke up late, stepped in Cat A's vomit (STILL WARM- OO BOY!), had to pick up bitchy cats poop, ran to bus, made it just in time only to realize 3 miles down the road that I had forgotten my fucking laptop. Hop off bus to catch one back. Call my boss, explained would be

Dude. I implore you.

This, exactly. I know myself that I'm in no way a potential rapist, but I also know that if you stand me beside an actual rapist, you will not be able to tell the difference.

Really?? I had no idea. The sign just appeared in my yard, actually. We didn't seek it out or request it. I've seen them in hilariously rich areas of white STL too, so I suppose that makes sense. Thank you for that incredibly interesting piece of info. I have a fairly rigorous job and so spend most of my time hiding.

Automatic assumption that black people don't have jobs. Check
