I was that annoying person who would go on rants about how I would never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever have kids and list all the reasons why, even when no one asked. Then something changed and I wanted kids more than anything else in the world. I have one now, I want a dozen more. I really meant it then when I…

Jared Kushner looks like the perfect, caring fiancé in a L&O SVU episode who is later revealed to have been kidnapping all those brunettes and dressing them up in his late mother’s clothes.

Married for 11 years, with my now husband for 19 years (I’m 34—and no I don’t live in Arkansas and yes, it was bizarro to my family/friends too, to have stayed together from 8th grade till now—but bizarre in a good/surprising way?)—is it always smooth sailing? Fuck no. Some one’s hangry, tired, posting on Jezebel when…

Last night after everyone (including Adele) was smarting from Beyoncé’s grossly unfair Album of the Year loss

Astounding rebuttal.

Yeah, and I don’t even think it’s about quotes being taken out of context, I think there’s some extreme projection/editorializing on the writer’s part.

I thought it was a very sweet and genuine piece. A few of the more negative comments on this reek of internalized sexism and unconscious effects of toxic masculinity. If teh same words were written about a woman we would be all for it, but since it’s a guy he’s a fake whiney baby.

Have you seen other coverage that includes Bee herself? People just spent an entire election arguing that a woman doesn’t automatically assume the views of her husband, and only Jones is quoted/said to be fighting the integration here.

on the political beat, women who have had tubal removals due to ectopic pregnancy and require IVF, or other assisted reproductive measures, to conceive future pregnancies are in just as much danger of losing total control of their reproductive rights as those who choose elective termination.

Does anyone really believe that Paris is Michael Jackson biological kid? Anyone? Really?

Just sharing this because.

And if you physically prevented an adult from leaving their house at 2 A.M., it would be kidnapping. And if you took away an adult’s possession as punishment because you didn’t like their attitude, it would be theft. On the other hand, if you refuse to give food, shelter, or medical care to an adult, you haven’t done…

Working poor in rural communities face difference challenges than working poor in urban communities, but that doesn’t make them any less poor. These houses are not assets with any value for sale by any reasonable measure - these are houses that barely have electricity and running water. Many still have outhouses,…

I get what you’re saying, but there is a lot of nuance you are missing. There are lots of people in the US who are poor by pretty much any measure, despite owning the house they live in. I’m from a rural area. My home county has about 3,000 residents - the poverty rate hovers around 25%, and 85% of families own their…

It really says...something that I had to scroll this far down to see this point of view. YES, thank you for saying this. The drug itself is not the devil. Sure, the pharmaceutical industry is evil and trying to make money, yes. But these drugs also give people in horrible pain immense relief. Sometimes pain cannot be…

They shouldn’t be prescribing this at all for long term chronic pain that can be managed with other drugs or methods. However, a close friend is on serious, hardcore opioids for severe arthritis, and possibly bone cancer (has the symptoms, but testing is inconclusive, scans show ‘activity’ but not specifically what,…

I know that not everyone here loves her (and this is not an invitation to tell me what you think of her...trust me, I’ve already heard it) but I’m genuinely a fan of HRC and am still just so sad that she didn’t win. Can’t care about Joe - or any other candidate - right now/yet. :(

Good. Fuck this guy.

Dear CIA,

I was embarrassed for Ashley Graham. She’s new to the game, but she should know not to come for Martha, a veteran of the industry, on Martha’s own show! Plus, I was mad that she defaulted to the “pretty but dumb” shtick. “What’s this white stuff!?” etc.
