I would like to take a moment to pay tribute to my father, Marine Corp Colonel Samuel Tillett for his courageous and near fatal actions, attempting to save as many lives as possible 15 years ago today in his position as head of security at The Pentagon. When the plane hit my father was not but a hundred feet from the

It kind of drives me crazy when working from home is offered as a parental leave benefit. I understand it offers a lot of flexibility, but it doesn’t solve the main problem of child care. It’s not like you can skip day care and take care of your child all day and work your job. I mean, how could you do conference

I was REALLY skeeved by a supercut of all the “sick burns” that were thrown at her during the roast. It was all sexist bullshit making fun of her looks...like...THERE’S SO MUCH MATERIAL THERE, WHY GO FOR THE SEXIST HACK JOKES?!?! I know we all hate her, but it doesn’t make that shit ok.

Secularism is a big thing in France, of course in the US you have no idea what it’s like. You should really educate yourself before making the claim that French people are totes cool with Catholicism.

Why does it matter why one does something? And how can we know someone’s motivations? Many overweight women cover up b/c of society’s moral outrage over them being fat and in a swimsuit in public. Shall we also punish them? It’s like we now have to develop an app that reads our thoughts to see if we’re doing something

—Well according to many people who believe in Islam, women’s bodies should be policed.—

Nuns most certainly are. And you keep talking about Muslim women as though they aren’t adults who can make informed decisions. It’s gross. Many Muslim women don’t wear a burka, or a hajib, or even a scarf. Stop concern trolling.

How is the government to know that’s the interpretation behind a certain clothing choice, and why is it the government’s job to police that interpretation? Many women wearing these types of clothing would not characterize it as their bodies being shameful, but of them wanting to adhere to a notion of modesty.

Yes, the moral idea that women are autonomous and are smart enough to decide on their own apparel. Do you have the same issues with Catholic nuns in habits or Buddhist monks in robes?

The police who enforce the laws on the beach wouldn’t know about my morals or beliefs about women in general. Or maybe they’d just presume my outfit was innocent because I’m white. Absolutely nothing about policing women’s clothing says women are free and equal to me, although that’s purportedly what they’re trying to

Rural Southern California is scary. And I’m from rural Appalachia so that’s saying something.

I’m laughing because I was going to make a similar post about my thin eyebrows, crispy looking hair, huge fake French manicure, and overall look that I was NOT pulling off.

Anthony Weiner is the proof that the Clintons aren’t nearly as diabolical as some conspiracy theorists suggest, because if they were, he’d have been found dead in a park somewhere by now.

huma.

Not true. I can see why you might get that impression, but speaking as a former gymnast, coach and judge, I can assure you, Wevers’ difficulty score is well justified.

Wevers actually had a higher level of difficulty than Laurie. She doesn’t do a ton of tumbling on the beam, but those turning elements are CRAZY hard and really bump up the difficulty score, especially when done in succession, like she does. She also has a difficult mount onto the beam, which most people don’t do

That’s not how babies work. That’s not how ANY babies work.

But why? Other options only matter if there’s something wrong, or undesirable, about breastfeeding an 18-month-old. There isn’t, and the law protects her right to feed her child when and where she wants. And what were her other options? 1. Feeding the kid solid food at a mall, which is way grosser to watch than seeing

I certainly do not want to see her deported, especially if it is for something that is damn near ubiquitous. What I would LOVE to see is a recognition by the Republican Presidential nominee that her situation actually isn’t all that unique and that it may be a problem that is inherent to our immigration laws, not to

Guys. Guys! Guyssssss. It’s not like she was (whispers) a caramel latte if you know what I mean....she um.....I mean everyone should follow the law, but it’s not like she (whispers) was a chocolate chip brownie if you know what I mean. People make mistakes! All that paperwork! But it not like she was (in a loud
