My first ever time on a plane, Dublin to London. There’s exactly 5 passengers on the plane, me and four guys. One of them is belligerent, sexist as hell, and drunk.; the other three are just embarrassed to be there. So I put on my earphones so I can ignore the world, and stare out the window, I haven’t slept in 30ish…

When I was in my 20s, I boarded a plane that had come from Texas, and the guy next to me was a fake cowboy type, already drunk. Before the plane even took off, he put his hand on my leg! When the drinks cart came around, he got another beer and I got a Coke. I took out my pill case to take a valium, as is my habit on…
This Planned Parenthood clinic has to be at least...three times bigger than this!
This is what being an ally looks like! Thank you, John Oliver, for using your privilege to hold Hoffman accountable. For any men wondering ‘what do I do’, this is it. You speak up and don’t let abusers get away with idiotic responses.
At least Tom and Jerry and the other cartoon like it these days give that warning beforehand which I think is really how it should be done instead of hiding it away like Disney does.
I kind of love how all women of a certain age are actively rooting for Brit. She DOES deserve it.
Like instead of a wacky guy in a trench coat, maybe: your boss! That police officer? Your good friend.
Rape and sexual assault should be seen as the disgusting, overpowering invasions they are, not as a consequence of a woman’s bad choices. The problem is that our bodies are comodified and so if we get assaulted, it is seen as the same as if we just left our purse on the bar when we went to the bathroom and someone…
My adoption of my daughter became official this past Thursday. My husband adopted her, too. It was pretty fucking awesome. I worked so hard to get her back. So many years. Feels good as hell, y’all.
I see you, Bette Midler. I was drugged - I think maybe GHB - by a classmate in law school. We were at a party and I had a one glass of wine. All of a sudden I was really out of it, and we ended up in a cab together. I blacked out in that I couldn’t see anything, like my vision was gone. He had to go in my wallet to…

Did we, though?

Where are the “Coming to America” meme? Shssssh. This most worthy of this moment.
Ok, biracial reporting in. Just because we identify as both doesn’t mean we don’t acknowledge and embrace our blackness. We know that people are going to look skin deep and judge us there and no amount of “I’m half-white” is going to slow some racist’s fist from hitting us. Still, that doesn’t mean that we’ve got to…
I feel some type of way about this. She says she’s mixed and that’s how she identifies. Before she shuttered her little lifestyle blog, she reiterated that she’s mixed. She’s both, that’s she feels. Now while I might feel some way about that. If she feels that’s she’s some special mixed butterfly, let her feel and be…
