Bullshit. If a flight attendant said you need to put your puppy in the overhead bin and keep it there for the duration of the light, I would say I can’t do that. I wouldn’t be irate or shout back, because you’re right, these power tripping air crews are not rational human being to be fucked with. But I would gladly be…

No, it’s the owner’s fault. You bring the dog aboard in a carrier that fits under the seat or you don’t bring the dog at all. You don’t smuggle it aboard in a bag & then say nothing when you are made to store the bag properly.

Um, if someone told me to put my dog in the bin, I’d be like, “Yo there is a dog in there.” And if they continued to insist, I would ask to speak to the head attendant, and then the pilot. And if they still insisted, I’d get my ass off that plane. NOTHING would cause me to put my dog in the overhead bin. I would risk…

me and the mrs sleep with our 150 lb great dane in our bed.

They really are! She had her own little bed for daytime naps (pictured) but at night she felt like a part of me :).

I love sleeping in bed with pets! My current kitty will occasionally sleep in the bed with me and my husband, but she goes through phases (one week it will be in bed, the next on a nightstand, etc.)

Point is that she didn’t feel the need to idealize herself in her paintings. But thanks for completely missing the point.

A talking Emma Goldman doll that says “If I can’t dance, I don’t want to be in your revolution” and also “Anarchism stands for a social order based on the free grouping of individuals for the purpose of producing real social wealth” and her other hits.  Each purchase comes with a download code for Katy Perry’s song…

Strongly disagree. Frida really was a classically beautiful woman in most ways, and with minimal effort should could have easily been known as a “great beauty” but I think she maybe was even a little contemptuous of the very concept of a “classical female beauty”— Frida was strong in her own sense of beauty, and many…

You do realise the only role model Mattel could come up for Mexican-American girls is a dead woman?

And a Che Guevara Ken!

Some of it may have to do with Frida Kahlo’s political leanings — she joined the Mexican Communist Party in 1927, and now her image is being monetised for a large corporation’s profit. I’m not horrified or astonished by this but the irony is somewhat wry and unpleasant. What’s next? An Emma Goldman Barbie?

I’m sure as a long time member of the Mexican Communist Party, Frida would not be a fan of this capitalistic endeavor. Shaved eyebrows or not.

This is Frida Kahlo as she saw herself. Note the lack of eyebrow shaving. Note the lack of upper lip waxing or bleaching. Note the look of “I don’t give a fuck about your beauty standards”. This “Barbie doll” version of her is an abomination.

Yes. It’s her defining feature, and she emphasized it in all of her self portraits.

The purge sounds like a great time to get rid of the many out and proud rapists.

Not convicted because the prosecution was able to show she was wearing a slutty outfit? Dead! Prosecution? Dead too! Jury will have to wait for next year’s purge.

I’m generally pretty eyerolly about karma and energy and that kind of shit, but this is absolutely relatable to me. It’s like meeting a friend’s new boyfriend, feeling vaguely disquieted but having absolutely no specific reason to speak ill of him...and then come to find out years later that he was an abusive,…

Several readers have pointed out that this video might show the incident in question. If so, it seems like the woman (who was protesting) didn’t actually slap the horse; rather, she pushed it a little.

You’re assuming the cops’ version of events is true. That’s a huge assumption; cops are famous for beating protesters then falsely charging their victims with assault or resisting arrest.

Of course it wasn’t.
