So — male sports team members can drug a girl, film themselves raping her and they get a slap on the wrist because "think of their future, those poor boys-who-will-be-boys" but a girl who has miscarriage is automatically presumed guilty of being a baby murdering Slutzilla and gets a Ferguson-level police response?

So many thoughts, so little time.

I work in education and was constantly fighting to get my last school to deal effectively with the issues of boys having naked photos of girls on their phones and passing them round. Trying to get the school to see that it was not just an issue of punishing the girl for taking/sending it, but educating the boys to

Haha, I think this dress is super cute, but I have a similar reaction to a number of other things. I couldn't stop my eyes rolling during the article about themed weddings, for example. Don't beat yourself up; I'm sure you have been super chill about something that the people being chill about this were judgy brats

That's okay. Every bad thing that has ever happened to me since '92 can be traced back to the time I said "fucking hell" in the Sistine Chapel.

NO. NOT THIS TIME. I'M RECLAIMING BUTT IMPALINGS.

When I was a kid I would chew muffin paper like gum, true story.

Once I was pretty high and decided to make a grilled cheese sandwich, and forgot to take the wax paper out from between the two slices of cheese that I used. I realized it about a third of the way in but didn't want my sandwich to go to waste so ate the rest of it. The texture kind of works in a grilled cheese, at

I agree. Took it out.

I think this is nonsense. Nude photos are made regularly in art photography, and have been done this way for decades. Please see Elinor Carucci's work for examples of what I mean. You don't need to be doing it for that reason, though. Maybe you just like the way you look naked on a given day and want to remember

Why provide the link? Serves no purpose.

Maybe they should try praying away the video.

It's saying something when a person has to flee to Burma to protect her human rights.

The person I know who named her kid Liam did i because she loved the Buffy spin-off Angel (it was Angel's name before he became a vampire). It worked out well though, because it also happened to be the name of her father in law.

First time I really felt old was when a (university) student mentioned that he was named after Westley from The Princess Bride. It's still a good name and an awsome character to be named after (somebody's parents have good taste).

Mary Sue, Mary Kate. Yeah my friend is from the south and he has all kinds of two named relatives. It is a nice tradition I think.

Those are our planned baby names!

I have a confession to make. I like that Gwyneth Paltrow (who I'm no particular fan of) named her daughter Apple. When I first heard about it, like most people, I was like, "Um, huh?" But the more I thought of it, the more I liked it. Because it makes me think of a lovely, green, crisp, sweet apple on a summer day,

Just looking at the picture I was like... "Wait, people are naming their belly buttons now" followed by... "Oh, no, is this another personhood movement where people are demanding the state legally mandate fetal naming?"
