After the Artie Lange debacle (they “had to” fire Lange from @Midnight for his slavery sex tweets about Cari Champion), Hardwick got pretty defensive about how “PC” everything is getting. He complained about it on multiple episodes of his podcast. Maybe he gets it now, but at that time he definitely showed himself not…

Don’t get me wrong, the cup is better than other options, but I’m still having a hormonal IUD installed soon to try to decrease my flow on top of mindless BC.

An acquaintance went to high school with Kat Von D. The first time she saw her on TV, the acquaintance asked *squint* *nasal voice* “Is that Kathy Drachenberg??” and now that’s all I hear whenever I see the name.

A lot of my job involves working with women post-mastectomy. I don’t judge women who get reconstructed, I can’t imagine how losing a breast would feel. But many have told me that, had they known the hassle and pain of reconstruction, they would have skipped it altogether. Should my turn with mastectomy ever come, I’d…

I wasn’t a fan of the Rita Who joke until Mr Cherry and I had a Fast & Furious marathon. After one scene I said “I think that was Rita Ora,” and he (unironically, he does not read Jez) replied “Rita who?” and I about died laughing for reasons I could not explain without sounding crazier.

Cory was my RA in undergrad. I’ll likely say this again on Jez later but: he was a genuinely good guy who flirted with me in a way that was respectful and polite and has me questioning my life choices right now. Haha... ha. (But seriously, every time I see stories of him doing something cool I cringe because I know…

Right?! He was verboten in the household, I never asked. This woman loved Sean Connery for god’s sake (Bond movie fan)—she wasn’t one to boycott based on general problematic behavior. It must have been pretty bad, we think.

My college boyfriend was from North Dakota. He and his family were pissed when this movie came out, “We don’t sound like that!” They sounded exactly like that.

I almost hate to say this: my aunt was a police detective, and a black woman. She had to go to Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson’s home for a case. After that day, we weren’t allowed to watch any of his movies (my cousin and I had to lie about seeing Forest Gump). She died in 2009 so I’ll never know what happened, because she…

Not just age but also the sport. I’m an ironman triathlete, and triathletes are the wooooorst. 99% of races are a huge conglomeration of insecure white people (majority men), who look at you suspiciously if you offer a struggling fellow athlete words of support. It’s pretty weird. (Possibly related to the fact that…

There was a trainwreck! It was surprisingly passive-aggressive (those awful nature images with text about how your partner should be there for you, you have to love yourself, etc). It wasn’t satisfying and I should have unfollowed after her first fuck-feminism meme. You live, you learn.

Fun fact: that field trip/sandwich thing actually happened to the show creator, he talked about it on a podcast. When I heard that I wanted to cry.

Yeah, this article applies to certain types only? Moving from the Inland Empire of SoCal to Colorado dramatically improved my quality of life.

Yeah, big eye roll. Slavery is getting up there with WW2 in the “enough now” movie category. Good for Parker though, can’t be mad at him.

I’ve been breastfeeding for 10 months, and I’m so pleased and surprised by the generally positive or neutral response when the baby needs to eat in public.

I went through this as well: cut off my toxic mother years ago. Now the rest of the family is going through the same damn process since she’s unleashed her mess on them. It’s sad but interesting that they suddenly see how I could be “such a bad daughter.”

Holy shit this thread took off. No one will see this but: he walked the talk. He did (possibly more than) his share of housework and emotional work, it was kind of amazing. He also voted for Obama—I said conservative, not Republican. He wasn’t religious, but didn’t see why I was impatient with zealots who’d damn me to…

My ex was conservative. It’s not exactly why we split (he was feminist), but it’s awfully hard to be with a climate change-denier.

Whoa, I also had a penis in my weirdest one: I’m Mark Ruffalo being ridden a Marilyn Monroe-type... I even came in my sleep (happens regularly), though I’m not a lesbian. Not sure what I ate that day.

I lived across the street from this PP. I can’t believe this is happening. This PP was rarely protested, it’s off the street without much near the building.
