There’s a hashtag on Twitter now (#PorteOuverte) from people offering shelter to those who need to get inside quickly, which is amazing. I’m an atheist but I’m sending out prayers to every deity I’ve ever heard of that nobody uses that information for nefarious purposes.

I life in Peru. I understand the worry, but at the same time I’m optimistic about this. Peru has changed a lot since the 1990s, and while the governments of the last 10 or so years have not been perfect, they have made a lot of positive changes.
SHOCKINGLY, amenities at hotels are inspected for safety- pools, gyms, saunas, ect. Most likely, had this been a hotel, safety standards would’ve meant that the swing wouldn’t have existed in the first place. I know, I know, logic is hard sometimes for the “any regulation is the death of everything because…
Calling protests counterproductive is having a very narrow view on this. The protests represent more than just against Trump. These protests can be used as a call to action. The loud “fuck you” heard after the rapist and murderers comment was because people are no longer taking this lying down. It may be…
I am kind of annoyed by articles like this that seem to assume that most women and girls live this way, think this way, and have tons of these experiences. I have not had these experiences of being jealous and catty and comparing myself to other women constantly.
That’s why I love true, affectionate, amazing representations of women friendships on TV. Women who love and support and challenge each other without any catty bullshit. Including but not limited to: Broad City, Playing House, Grey’s Anatomy, New Girl, Parks and Recreation, Jane the Virgin, You’re the Worst. And of…
Maybe it is because I didn’t go to high school or have never really competed against other women for anything but like, I DON’T UNDERSTAND THIS. I don’t feel like I am competing with anyone for anything. I am just trying to get through the goddamn day, man.
I’ve always found it strange and offputting that the default state of female relationships in most fiction seems to be passive aggression, cattiness, and jealously.
Part of the problem that a single girl living in filth is thought of as some disgusting anomaly where a single guy living in filth “needs to find a nice girl”. Heaven help if he meets up with that messy girl.
I’m 35, back in school, working fulltime and I have procrastinated the shit out of midterm presentation that I have to give this week. Like it was assigned 3 weeks ago and I haven’t even started procrastination. Aside from the fact that I’m intimidated as hell by the assignment, I think that I’m partly dragging my…
you have to put a latino in that movie who dies at the hands of a rival group the night before debate. A hot black guy, who doesn't believe in himself, replaces him. They pull out an upset and dedicate it to the dead latino.
God, I just posted about how awful having to stay with my parents for a while is, and I forgot this exact point. I literally talk to hundreds of people a day at work, and then when I come home, I can’t just have a little alone/decompression time. It’s killing me. I need my own space where I don’t have to feel like I’m…
Mad Men this season (and any season really) still absolutely destroys anything Thrones can put out, so not really
“Who knew the nurses of America moved like the mob?”
Some EXCELLENT new plastic surgery was had between seasons.
He is right. The current batch of college students seem to think that free speech means freedom from being offended. It does not. Without differing perspectives, these kids are going to graduate, step into the real world and fail because their intolerance of disagreement will become insubordinate in the workplace and…
This was also covered in an episode of “Jane the Virgin.” Which is just one of the many reasons I love that show. Bringing real issues to the silver screen.
My favorite Effie Brown story:
