Eh. 20 minutes 6 times a year is an almost nonexistent level of exposure to anything. Almost certainly not enough to cause cancer. If relaxer was so carcinogenic that it could cause cancer at that level of exposure, we’d probably already know it - it’s been in use for a long time. Pretty sure it’s all good. You…

LOL - I mean, I’ve never seen any data, but I happen to be an MD with relaxed hair, and I’m not really all that worried about it - you’re not “constantly” absorbing chemicals, you put chemicals on a small portion of your skin for 20 minutes at a time every 2 months, and then you wash it off. Pretty sure it’s fine -…

Obviously she can do what she wants with her hair. Natural hair is not about feminism, it’s about black women self-accepting. Get a clue.

I thought the same thing! How gloriously subversive would it be if she started going with her fabulous, natural, unironed hair. Looks to me like her hair was unironed during that UN speech, actually. So pretty!

Oh snap

OMG this is so good

As a day-one Washingtonian, I have never been more proud.

What was that video?!?! My life is changed. Bless you

Holy shit this gif

You’re not being exposed to the trillions of bacteria that you quoted, is my point. You’re being exposed to a microfraction of that amount of bacteria. Would be pretty bad if you had to repopulate your entire gut microbiome every time you took a shit.

LOL, seriously? This argument is already absurd, but since we’re doing it...just how much of the surface area of the digestive tract of a sex partner do you imagine one gets access to when eating booty? I mean, you don’t run your tongue through the entire colon and small intestine.

LOL Please look up how many types of bacteria live in the human mouth

Thank you, Em! I have always been a fan and I’m not ashamed. Catharsis.

LOL exactly. Not much more to it than that

This is a super fraught issue, in my opinion. When I went through residency, multiple co-residents disappeared for weeks on end for maternity leave. Our program, from what I could see (because multiple women did it) was pretty accepting of that. But the residency system is not designed for it, and what it would mean…

As someone who has 5 best friends, I like this take.

Could not disagree more. At his age, being in shape contributes waaaaay more to his level of hotness than his hair thickness. Fellas - stay as fit as you can, do not give in to that dadbod night. Do resist the combover, however. A fit guy with his balding head cut/shaved to perfection, c’est magnifique. When I was a…

Amazing, I love that this is the first comment underneath this article
