It seems so weird that lately I keep hearing about Catholic bishops in the news. Why are they all of a sudden in vogue? Did they hire a new PR firm?

"Is advocating for the denial of breast cancer screenings for poor women consistent with Catholic moral teachings?" The Catholic Church seems pretty good at cutting its nose off to spite its face, so really this seems totally in line with the general doctrine of the Church.

Oh, I loved some serious grungy skater boys and made a friend teach me how to skate in her garage so I could show off in front of them. I live in a small college town now, but we have a good number of skater boys, even though they aren't grungy enough.

I was just thinking about my old 90s floral dresses the other day. Everyone had floral dresses, in all different floral patterns. It was amazing how pervasive it was.

It is. I just checked the item. But it also says that they weren't sure she was actually there or using the elevator and the staff wasn't just using her name "as a ruse." How weird.

Figure XII baby wasn't prepared for the sudden force of gravity.

Thanks! Stuff like this shoot just reflects how tone deaf and isolated the fashion industry is.

Very true. One of my cousins went to Bob Jones and now has a worthless teaching degree except in the employment of evangelical schools.

Yeah, it seems like a more Christian-ly act to actually take in children who need a home or need help. Children with disabilities are probably going to have a rougher time being adopted.

Did the parents become more religious after marriage or something? It's weird that they would go to college but want to deny further education to their daughters. What a shame.

I think that the side effects of acid are often more exaggerated to scare kids out of taking it. I don't know the medical statistics or anything, but I've known people who've done a good amount of acid, I've dropped only a couple of times (I prefer shrooms), and they're all pretty much the same mental-stability-wise…

A lot of tribes have requirements for percentage of ancestry to join as well, not just for government recognition

I think that's my issue too. Also, does he identify as Native American over white? I'm not exactly well-versed in all things Johnny Depp, but I just assumed he identified as white. Our family has Native American ancestors, but I would feel weird claiming to be Native American or trying to co-opt Native American…

I think also part of the Cherokee thing comes from the fact that the tribe was an eastern US tribe to begin with, so if there was a Native American ancestor in the family, that's one of the more recognizable names (like how one of the only tribes in the west anyone can remember is the Navajo). A lot of white people…

I'm with you. I don't understand what, if anything, there is in the Lone Ranger worth dragging into the present. I know a certain generation grew up with him, etc., but sometimes we just need to let that shit stay in the past. Especially since the present version cannot be bothered to cast a Native American actor in a…

I love the colors, the crazy hair, the nails, etc. It's fun, interesting, and artistic. But, what Meisel decided to do with this story is put all that great stuff into a completely condescending shoot that doesn't celebrate or lift any of it. Instead, it is cultural appropriation and mocking women who actually do…

It sounds like the CFDA needs to be offering more than guidelines, but of course it probably would have a hard time doing anything to enforce actual rules without the models having union representation or the like.

The thought of required animal testing makes me sick. I know that some things, like medicines, have to go through animal testing just by nature of the products, our lack of better alternatives, etc. But it's a cruel practice and certainly shouldn't be used at all for superfluous items like cosmetics and hair care. At…

Yes, I could easily stay up until the wee hours of the morning reading, but then I'd only have a few hours of sleep the next day, which doesn't cut it. I love my husband, child, and dogs, but I really long for a day where I could just sleep until the afternoon and no one would care.

Does this explain why I can drink a cup of coffee at 8 pm and fall asleep on the couch at 10? I'm a morning person not of my choice because I have a kid and two dogs who like to wake up at 5. My inner soul is a night owl, though.
