Is it really not the biggest thing on the news today? As an Australian (and a Melburnian), everyone was walking around on the verge of tears yesterday.

I'm sure that support is coming. It's devastating.

Weirdly enough, there's an outpouring of grief and support coming from Kiev - people are crying on the streets and laying flowers at the Dutch embassy.

I'll let you in on my birth control secret: Target during Back-to-School time. The whining, the crying, the screaming over motherfucking pencils... Shuts my junk down like Todd Akin thinks rape does.

Check this out too. Inspiring.

You know what else can go fly a kite? Any article/listicle/cartoon that condescendingly tells me 'how to talk to an introvert'. The world doesn't have to realign itself according to your neuroses, nerdlingers.

You know, it's very easy to say we shouldn't be obsessed with virgins but if you know of another kind of blood with which to summon our dark lord upon the earth...I'm all ears.

"social media accounts linked to their real names."

I starred caught1's comment because it was funny, but I agree with you, too. I ALWAYS google the new interns and new hires when they start at my firm, and sometimes I am shocked by what I find. Especially what they put on their easy-to-find Twitter accounts. Like, maybe keep your racist jokes, complaints about your…

Every time I see these stories, I can't help but think, "Well, that person will never have a totally clean Google search." This girl is cool, I love that she loves her body, but damn, now that media outlets have picked up her story, every one of her future employers is going to see her in her underwear.

UUUUUGHHHHHHHHHH. This is the tiniest, tiniest minority of 'rape victims'. I'm super serial. Please, MRAs and other hateful people, please please please just listen (or read) for ten seconds. Reporting or even discussing a rape that actually happened is painful, it's unpleasant, it invites almost every single reaction…

Oh yes. This happened everywhere I worked — from family diners to upscale places — when I waited tables 10 years ago in college. The customer who asks for water with extra or "lots and lots" of lemon is a red flag for any server.

People are super cheap.

I thought Diversity was an old, old wooden ship.

I'm arguing hard in favor of people minding their own damn business and not being so judgmental of people that do things you wouldn't personally do. In this case, it's manifesting in food photos. It's reasonable to be angry that someone is detracting from your experience, which can sometimes happen with food photos as…

Dear Close Friend,

The people that defend this type of behavior are always people who engage in it themselves.

I'm a 19 year old from Seattle and I'm pretty disgusted about what some of the things my generation does. I keep the cellphone use to a minimum in restaurants, I eat my food instead of taking pictures of it, I try not to waste the waiter's/waitress' time, and I never walk while using using my phone. Look around…

An orthotic device. We try to accommodate people even if we don't make any money. And yes, we get taken advantage of at times.

This reminds me of when I worked in outreach for the food bank here in NC, I would mentor our partner agencies (food pantries, soup kitchens, etc) that served clients that needed food. The FIRST thing I made clear to them is, "you do not turn anyone away regardless of what they are driving or wearing or what you…
