If you needed to boil down Jesus's teachings into one sentence, it would be "be a nice person to everyone else." Or, as my husband explains it, "being Catholic means you shouldn't be a dick." Which is a super easy message to get behind, I think. And since gay people are people, we should also be nice to them.

I don't understand all the questions about how to take this... it's her life. It's OK for it to be morally ambiguous. I interpret it as a child taking an empowering action against an abusive and inappropriate adult but you, reader, can interpret it however you like.

People, the tag on this article is goddamn "First Person." It's a personal reflection. Click on her damn blog. Not everything has to be a well-researched, cited, serious journalistic "article." Jesus.

And yet... she still wouldn't fuck you. Go figure.

Ah yes, look at how obese I am:

People die every day from gun violence and idiotic accidents. If we wait to talk about it until the day no one dies, we'll be waiting until the end of time.

Fuck any American or Canadian trying to make an "Only in Yemen!" argument.

You should submit this to Real Simple magazine for their #simpletips. I bet they'd love it!

This piece is dismissing a major reason lyric videos are trying to be interesting and grab attention- they count towards the Billboard Hot 100 now. This is also why artists are putting out increasingly controversial music videos.
