Re. mineral makeup, apparently a lot of the mica used in it comes from very unethical sources. Just throwing that out there.

Edit: "very unethical sources" is a link. I hate that links don't show up in unapproved comments.

Thank you for this article. I was on board with the "no parabens" train until I read that um, actually, they're not the cancer causing killers that some makeup brands would like us to believe.

Nothing and no one is perfect. I, like many, many others, have serious problems with the Catholic Church. But, if we are going to judge things on a relative scale, well then count me in as someone who adores the current Pope. He seems like a genuinely decent and good human being, and we should embrace whatever…

Grizzled, and certainly growing that Kelly beard to cover up his plain features, Leo Tolstoy nevertheless knew how to hold a pen and use it.

You're using that word and clearly know just what it means.

Well, there are like four billion other cooking and food websites out there, so yeah. I'm going to wonder a little about somebody whose venue of choice is 4Chan. It doesn't make you the worst person ever, but it does mean you aren't put off by the site's reputation.

Jesus Christ. This is a great article (you are becoming one of my favorite writers on here) and I'm so sorry you're going through all this.

WHAT. WHAT. HOW DID I MISS THIS. SHE'S LEAVING?

This is something I'm slowly realizing. My life dream was to be married to a great guy with an amazing career and I'd just take care of him. That was it. All I wanted. And then at 30 and a failed 9 year relationship I realized that it wasn't going to happen. So I went to grad school and started doing the types of…

The woman is my goddamn idol. I mean, I still don't want to be married, but in principle I love her.

Which gift best says, "please go nowhere south of my vulva with your tongue?"

When I imagine pearl-clutchers like this, it's not so bothersome to me anymore.

I'm not saying you have to support it. Just that you don't alert your government to any odd manufacturing facilities that are in centralized locations should there be unprecedented coastal bombings and that you don't look into anything regarding Phobos Industries.

I remember distinctly getting high in my mid 20's, listening to "What's My Age Again?" and saying to myself "wow, these lyrics really speak to me."

No elementary school kid should watch AHS. That's fucked up. Those kids are gonna be awful and messed up because their caregivers are morons.

No.

Children definitely should not be watching any season of AHS.

The children who were calling that little boy a freak were at fault and not the show. Or perhaps their parents were at fault for letting them watch the show and not following it with a discussion about how people (with a disability or not) should be treated. The show very much humanized each of its characters and…
