So I was at the beach last week and found it super interesting that people have no problem flashing murder mystery covers but you could always tell who was reading a romance novel by how diligently they kept the cover hidden. Chick-lit covers less so but I could totally guess who was reading romance novels by how…

She is not tall and she is not that thin. Not that it matters. She is a Jewish girl from a working class Midwestern family who has brought feminism to the teen girl masses. She created a magazine for teen girls that is completely excepting and inclusive of all people regardless of sexuality, gender identity, weight,…

I was right slap bang in the middle of the 90's when he had that mad string of films like Mrs. Doubtfire and Aladdin.

The gall of this transported peasant. My monocle is positively shattered with outrage.

Do we share a news feed?

I love that you called them Redcoats. Someone's been watching Outlander, per chance?

It can certainly happen that a Google employee abuses the power to look into e-mails. As far as I know, this is why few, if any people have that power.

Oh come on, I've read all the responses and everyone is being helpful and reasonable— sorry if they didn't tell you exactly what you wanted to hear.

I can't believe anyone with such an impeccable fashion sense could be guilty of thievery.

I'm biracial, and I have "good hair" (perfect, soft, corkscrew curls). It gets a lot of reactions, up to and including a random guy running out of a café as I walked past so he could touch it. The most common questions I get are asking me how I "get [my] hair to do that," or if it's my real hair at all. Two years…
