Do you know what spray tan is made out of? I mean, they each have different proprietary things in them, but what turns you brown is DHA, or Dihydroxyacetone. It sounds scary, but it’s just an extract from beets. It reacts with the amino acids on the outer layer of your skin and turns ‘em brown. DHA has been approved…

We didn’t always say nice things, and sometimes we were downright mean. Sometimes I just vented about frustrating experiences in an immature, hateful, and foolish way. It was in particular a breach of trust to post intimate details about lovers. I was naive enough to think it’d stay anonymous, and I was wrong.

So obviously what Behar said was wrong and idiotic, but I'm kind of surprised at this level of backlash. The people on The View have said way worse about many other groups of people (like rape survivors, for example). Curious.

Not to mention the seeming endless parade of reality shows where people audition to marry essentially (and sometimes literally) strangers. Funny how the fundies aren’t up in arms about that “devaluing” marriage.

Not directed at you, you just brought up a great point. I wish we could stop with this “marriage isn’t taken lightly”. It is. We have countless celebrities marrying for publicity and non-celebs marrying because they got drunk in Vegas, needed someone to split the rent and so forth.

My apologies in advance for the long backstory, but it is necessary to fully understand the horrible-ness of the situation. I live in a tiny apartment in New York with my wife and son, which, ever since our son has gotten the ability to walk and talk and whatnot already made sex a fairly covert affair (the window of…

I think he had an intent.

I once built a gravity-powered trebuchet out of an old basketball hoop stand and brought it to school. Our middle school let us build literal rockets, with explosive engines, for class. My crafts class in high school let us use oxy-acetylene torches and handle molten metal. I guess what I’m saying is, if “make cool…

“we cannot allow items on campus that can be perceived to pose a threat.”

I live on Whidbey, happy to host a Jezzie cocktail hour/bunny ogling fest. Unfortunately I live about 20 minutes north of Langley, but we could all hop in the family minivan and make it a road party. Couple of decent bars and a really good pizza joint in downtown Langley.

Needs more stars.

“Who knew the nurses of America moved like the mob?”

I hope his parents wipe that fucking town off the map financially. I hope every adult involved in this fiasco of bigotry and illegal shenanigans ends up wearing a barrel with suspender straps and begging for dimes.

YES. Here’s hoping the civil suit teaches this pack of morons the basics of their job and some Goddamn manners.

Yes. He specifically asked to call them and they refused to let him.

agreed. The officers and school officials are going to argue differently though

I believe it is if the child is “in custody.” I’d say handcuffing someone puts them “in custody.”

I hope his parents do sue. That’s an awful thing to do to a kid.

They handcuffed him, for fuck’s sake. He wasn’t under arrest, yet they handcuffed him.
