Holy hell. I had not read the Jim Crow quote before, but that is absolutely *profound.* (Not that I’m surprised that Dr. King would be profound, but I have been searching for how to explain that mentality succinctly and with sufficient emotional force for years, and there it is. Before I was born, he had already fully…

Post-its. It was post-its.

They’re gal-pals, right?

This needs to be added to the official list.

Despite a large group of friends who go to Vegas regularly, I have never been. Yours is the first game-plan that makes it sound like a really, really, really fun time and I hope you have a blast.

I buy mine online; Amazon has them - lots. Look for the Dixie Belle brand (and try not to cringe at the brand name) or Vanity Fair.

I remember when Ellen came out, and how much that changed *everything* about what it meant to be gay and in the public eye. And then what it meant about being gay and just... being. She was so LIKEABLE, so successful, she had everything, and she was willing to throw it all away in order to be honest. And... she was…

ONE COULD ASK YOU THE SAME QUESTION

I’m afraid I’m going to get jumped on for this, but I do think it’s something that ought to be discussed. OBVIOUSLY transwomen are women. But, also obviously, transwomen were socialized as boys in their early lives. If we were discussing average behaviors in the workplace, (or, hell, elsewhere) no one would bat an eye…

My mother-in-law has a lab-created tennis bracelet and it sparkles like fire. I’ve never held it next to natural stones to compare directly (I don’t have anything of similar size or the other characteristics that would make it a reasonable comparison - just a small pendant I inherited) but the bracelet is easily far…

I actually really like lab-created diamonds; no conflict, relatively cheap, and they sparkle the best.

I know this is a late-as-fuck reply, but ... if that ever happened, it would not be YOU who was keeping the plane waiting by being a petty, selfish person. He is the problem, he is keeping everyone waiting, he is the petty, selfish dickbag. YOU are sitting correctly in your assigned seat. (Remember, if there’s…

I wore my petticoat to a friend's wedding two weeks ago. I think they're a little formal for most events, but anything cocktail party or above is fine.

You can just cry. It doesn't have to be a reaction to dust, or onions, or raining on your face, or leaking. . .just cry. It's OK to be human.

It's worth bringing up the anecdote again about how she decided to take the (famously anti-women-drivers, and now recently deceased) King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia for a tour around Balmoral, and trolled him by driving the car herself.

Not Jolie, but I feel comfortable answering in her stead: Bleach is bleach; she means clorox. (or generic, whatever.) Unless it's weird "color safe" bleach with extra additives. You want original, no bullshit bleach.

NPR did a great piece on vocal fry and how guys also do it, but no one seems to give a shit unless it's young women that they hear vocal frying. Which was also the case with up-talk. And with the use of, like, as verbal punctuation. I wouldn't worry about it.

Fact. She did it for The Fame. She even SAID so.

And yet, no one complains about how taxing soft-body physics on male characters with pot-bellies... Chun Li gets breast physics - tell me why E. Honda doesn't get an equivalent jiggle? Oh - because it's not necessary.
