I don’t think she failed, the system failed her.

Same, I’m not religious but I’ll never miss an opportunity to go into an old church. The history and architecture can usually rival any museum.

I haven’t been to Notre Dame, but I’ve been to many cathedrals and basilicas (I love old architecture) and many of them charge an entrance fee. The ones that don’t still take donations or charge for tours, etc.

All I want to watch is International Househunters and it seems like it’s never on anymore.

I completely agree about shiplap and hanging doors, but I love farmhouse sinks.

I was a projectionist too once upon a time with film. I can’t say anything like this ever happened though. When we received the movies, they usually came with all the (brand new) trailers the distributor wanted played with the film. Occasionally we re-used a trailer, but it was always very obvious if there were two…

I also attract every mosquito from miles away. Somehow they always find a way to get inside my house, and I’ve gotten mosquito bites on the *bottom of my feet* because they often poke out from the covers. My husband laughs at me because I have to apply mosquito repellent to my feet before I go to bed (unfortunately,…

My (normally serious) dad had the same mustache throughout my childhood and then one evening at dinner he excused himself and came back with half of it shaved off. Not sure what prompted the shave, but not long after he and my mom got divorced. Make of that what you will.

Did he explain himself (as much as you could, I guess) after he reunited with you? Or did everyone just give him the silent treatment? I can’t imagine the awkwardness.

Doesn’t know what the fuck she’s talking about, and was given a large platform to disseminate completely false information. Like, shouldn’t people have at least a basic understanding of how things work before they’re allowed to discuss things in front of a very large and impressionable audience?

One of my first jobs out of college I worked at a place that had the typical, older white male board. They constantly made inappropriate remarks or gestures towards the female staff (e.g., “nice legs!” “come sit in my lap,” etc.). When we complained we were told they were just old and didn’t know better so we should…

Yeah, I think the important thing is, who is the butt of the joke? The big problem with rape jokes is that the person being made fun of is usually the victim, not the rapist. When Louis CK made jokes about Parkland, he was making fun of the victims, rather than the NRA nuts clutching their guns in terror. There is a…

I did my undergrad straight out of high school and my first two years were really rough. I suffered from depression and trying to keep my grades up, even though I had always been a good student, which made me feel like more of a failure. I went back to grad school in my 30s and it was a night and day experience. I…

Nope, just like you can’t touch your belly without being pregnant.

I agree, but I hope everyone is waiting the same about of time for surgery or procedure. An abortion or hysterectomy is a lot more urgent than an IUD. I only say this because this is the horror story Americans are told - “you’ll wait in a six month queue to have your cancer removed,” etc. if we get universal…

The Tia Clinic, a members-only doctor’s office that recently opened its first location in New York City, describes itself on Instagram as “part gyno’s office,” “part wellness center,” and “part lady fort.”

The Constitution is filled with amendments. The electoral college though largely works in Republicans’ favor and I don’t see them supporting an amendment to get rid of it anytime soon.

Came to say the same thing. I have a Swedish friend who introduced me to it and it’s great for groups.

Agree that Harvey is pretty boring, she needs to get with the warlock stat.

I was actually pleasantly surprised by how dark part one was (the thing with Harvey’s brother, wow). The acting wasn’t always top notch, but the set design was gorgeous and the aunts were my absolute favorite.
