Its almost like family dynamics are seriously fucking complicated and maybe we shouldn’t hold Franco’s sister-in-law accountable for his bad behavior.

Why does she need to say anything? Why do we immediately turn to the closest woman and burden her with the responsibility of answering for some shitty man’s actions? Why does it always bounce back on women?

Actually this statement is factually correct but the same is true for all terrestrial vertebrates. All bony fish are more closely related to us than they are to cartilaginous fish like sharks.

What sort of sharks do they have in Russia?

well....if they can now deny the “grab them by the p*@$%!” comment then why not this too.

I want to do Barre at home. Any good suggestions for YouTube or other instruction? I need to lose 30 lbs, but that is not really my main issue. I need to strengthen my core and gain flexibility, and I have always enjoyed ballet.

she’ll be running against incumbent Ben Cardin, a centrist Democrat

Murder, historically, IS a Christian value. Signed, a cynical Native American who remembers the history of Christians who came to Turtle Island and prayed; then fell on the Natives & preyed.

I teach yoga in the prison system. When I taught women in the federal prison, the happiest part of the practice was when I’d first walk in the room wearing bright spring colors and toes painted (through sheer socks). It would really take them “somewhere”, to see color and self-care on display. Aside from the…

Women and men have been adorning and grooming themselves since time immemorial and there’s always a portion of society frowning down on them for it. When the puritan take about this being vanity loses traction, then the critics say their criticism is for these people’s own good. Either way it’s about controlling what…

I saw so many women in prison either for killing their abusive partner, or for crimes that their abusive partner committed.

The stats in the original piece back that up, I think it said something like 90% of women who were in prison for killing their partners were victims of abuse from that partner. I can’t help but think that there’s something cultural about the justice system where we are okay with women being victims but not okay with…

When I started working at a women’s prison I was surprised at how much makeup many of the women wore (sometimes bought from commissary, sometimes made with other things they could get their hands on). Or how intricate some of their hair was. The prison where I worked also had a hair salon, run by the women who were…

“Dog-haircovered leggings speckled with bleach stains.”

This is my life exactly. *virtual hug* I’m grateful to know I’m not alone. After almost 10 years of online dating (literally probably over 700 dates), I’m beginning to think it’s me. I’m now trying to stop trying so hard.. to let the universe do it’s thing, but it’s so much easier said than done, especially when a lot…

And next up with have Jen. Jen decided to dress in a suit because she’s a little extra hungover today. You’ll notice the eyeliner is a little more heavy today and also haphazardly applied. Her talent will be eating a full pizza in about 5 minutes after already consuming 3 donuts before getting on stage.

Same boat, later Thirties. But you know what? I see so many bad relationships around me. Most people in relationships, I’ve come to realize, are completely codependent. Some of them may be happy and ok with that, but a lot of people are simmering violently beneath the surface. There is something about becoming…

I may be shit at love, but I’m great at lots of other things.

When I talk about Trump I am never trying to be nice. It’s a challenge to make comments that reflect my true feelings without attracting the attention of federal agencies.

Perhaps Monsieur Trump would like a wayfarrrr thin mint?
