You also need a Class B license for a Shadow, and I don't think you do for Vespas, so there's that...

What killed me was that story on those LeVian Chocolate diamonds and how those were started as industrial grade diamonds that were deemed even too crappy for that so they started peddling them to the masses. SMDH.

Well, damned if you, damned if you don't.

What I loved was one of my best friends bought a vintage set of rings at an antique store for less than $200 because it "matched her personality" and her mom had a conniption over it, saying "but there's no diamond in it! it's just costume jewelry!" But it was beautiful and suited her needs just fine. Whatever, I was…

That. Lying. Ass. Bitch.

I actually emailed the company once to ask why they were so much more expensive. Apparently that $5k is because the diamonds they use come from Canada and aren't blood diamonds from Africa or India, where 8 year olds would be harvesting them. Basically, you pay primo to sleep better at night while that rock sparkles…

I'm already a 0 petite at Ann Taylor because I'm 5'0'' and 102 lbs. Don't take away any more choices! I have too few as it is. But I say, I look DAMN good in a sassy cashmere sweater set meant for a woman 20 years my senior.

Funny, I have a guy roommate and we have the SAME exact problem. When I clean the kitchen, I have a VERRRRY different definition of what it encompasses than he does! As long as I can't SEE grime, I'm ok with the filth.

Yea so they should make this one airtight and super hard to argue against in court even if you do bother to show up against the judge. Btw, what do you even use as defense... "oh it was an honest mistake your Honor, see I thought the shutter was jammed and I started snapping random photos, didn't even realize one…

I ran a college radio show for a bit, and guess what my job was? Play "Democracy Now!" for 1 hour, then you can play whatever you want—as long as it has now cussing—for an hour.

there's also just the affirmation principle, where a woman will typically wait for facts to arrive to confirm she is correct before arguing a position. A man typically does not wait for facts and argues based on what he believes to be true, regardless of how baseless his claims might end up ultimately being. Though it…

Amy Goodman's voice is so soothing, even when she's talking about something horrendous like a landslide in Nicaragua killing 7,000 and displacing several more

but this is not what Islam has always been. this is a radical extremism that has taken hold of a very old religion, distorted some very nuanced elements of it, and made them the central tenets. people are acting like this is what has always been at the core of the Q'ran and i actually took a class on the History of…

i wrote a tweet about this the other day, asking if i was the only one showering just because of continuing overwhelming societal pressure to do so. the fact that nobody "liked" it made me feel like a pariah, but LO! i have found a group of similar thinkers.

ok that's illegal. i'm sorry you went through that. you probably could have reported that first job you wrote about to the EEOC for making you clock out just to use the restroom. if it has been less than 2 years since then, you might want to consider filing for a right to sue letter—it doesn't cost anything to inquire…

lol. that sounds like the name i gave myself when i was three and demanded that everyone address me by, or i would not respond: "Monica Pippalotta Bobrouche"

i have been trying to get my roommate Erik to do this song with me at karaoke for about oh, FOUR YEARS. he said maybe if i were terminal, and probably not even then—but we did do outkast's "hey ya!" as a duet and really got the crowd going, which was AH-May-ZING so he is kinda forgiven.

Just embrace it. Go by The Googe.

My mom straight up tells me I was a "Christmas-made" baby.

VOM.
