It's true that you would expect some enthusiasm for the situation, but I think it's unclear that she was actually unhappy. Someone else pointed out that she may have been attempting Elsa's signature raised-eyebrow smirk, and I think that's possible. Facial dexterity and acting are not really very common skills, and…

I know you didn't actually mention those things. But I'm just not really seeing how it's such a terrible costume that it deserves it's own post, except for her general appearance. And yes, her facial expression is a big contributor to that appearance, but Jezebel also usually doesn't love the idea of telling women…

I'm kind of surprised Jezebel is making fun of this woman. It seems obvious that the biggest problem with the look isn't really the quality of the costume. If this was a cute, skinny, smiling girl in good make-up, there would be no real issue.

Yeah, they should really go over stuff like this beforehand.

I feel like, if you are looking into surrogacy, you should make it clear in the contract before inserting fertilized eggs that you have no interest in raising any potential disabled children, so that the surrogate knows going into it that she might have to abort, keep the disabled child, or give it up for adoption. …

Is it realistic that that level of crazy went undetected by her parents, or are they thinking she had some kind of break from reality about the time of the murder? Because I'm not one to automatically assume that every incompetency plea is a smokescreen, but the prosecutors are saying they plotted for months to try…

ALL DOGS ARE PUPPIES!

When I'm ready to sweat in a piece of Disney-themed clothing, I'll probably do it in this (with the text blacked out):

Dawkins is the worst. We already knew this. But thanks for turning my experience of rape into a pissing contest.

I misread too. It says you were with a girl.

All feet are weird. Always.

Replying again upthread because this is Serious Business: THE IMPORTANCE OF SEX TOY BRANDING IS NOT STATUS. IT IS ABOUT HEALTH AND SAFETY. If you are inserting a material into your body, especially into an anus or a a vagina (both of which are much more vulnerable to hazardous materials than, say, your mouth), YOU…

No no no no no, it's not about the vibrator only working a few times, it's about the vibrator giving you cancer or infections or not being made of a material that you can clean effectively between uses or between partners. It's about products made of who knows what marketed as nonporous silicone, which you can boil in…

I think the issue is more than counterfeit sex toys not made to US standards could have sketch chemicals in them that may not be good to stick up your vajayjay

Wow, that Vanessa Williams story is FUCKED. UP. It takes enormous courage to come forward about sexual abuse, and I really admire her for it.

Um, did you just imply hippos are not graceful?

"The snide comments and casual racism here is just ridiculous."

They were so excited about the joke they didn't even get the grammar right! "Two men faces"?

People have regrettable sex all the time, including sex with people in a position of power. But it's silly to not distinguish that from rape. After all, did Bill Clinton rape Monica Lewinsky? He was literally the most powerful man in the world and she was a lowly intern and quite young.

I hope this doesn't come across as minimizing what happened or as denying that transgender people are very frequently the target of hate crimes, because that is not what I mean to do. But I can also kind of see where the officer is coming from. I have cadaver dogs and even though I'm a civilian handler, we're called…
