Nope. Best practices for suicide reporting recommend not using “committed,” which sounds like a crime or, to religious communities, like a sin, and “kill yourself” is just insensitive, crude, and poorly phrased. “Died by suicide” is the phrasing recommended by mental health professionals and the American Foundation…

This shit that parents do is straight-up abuse. There’s no other word for it. All sorts of people will come out of the woodwork to, if not defend this dad (because the outcome is undeniably tragic), defend other parents who do other shaming forms of punishment, like make their kids stand on busy street corners with…

You’re so right, the abusive parents are the real victims. The dead girl, whatever.

I just read through the comments section of the Tacoma Stories link and someone fairly close to the situation said that her father had threatened to put her up for adoption. If this is true, coupled with the hair cutting off incident, it paints a picture of an abuser who should be in jail.

Nope.

This kid was getting bullied in school, and then her own father bullies her by doing this shit? I’m sorry, but that man is, at BEST, indirectly responsible and at worst, directly.

I feel for her mother and what she must be going through. But her father? I’m finding I can’t muster a whole lot of give-a-fuck for…

Exactly. A bullied child needs their home to be a safe space where they are loved and supported, otherwise they feel like they have nothing and no one.

Or how betrayed she would feel that her own father, a person who is supposed to love and protect her, would become a bully too? She must have felt like absolutely no one would support and protect her. How terribly sad.

Female recreational cyclists do not generally need to push their limits, race against time and increase their adrenaline when riding rough downhill trails. They just want to enjoy the time spent in nature on the bike, and their expectations on the bike are completely different from the men’s professionals’. They look…

Not to mention she can no longer use most of the facilities at her own country club, where she has been a member for over a decade. http://www.tmz.com/2015/06/02/cai… Welcome to the sisterhood, girl!

Pausing for a second to contemplate the fact that TMZ’s hardball tactics could have led to Jenner’s suicide. This is not fun and games, this is dangerous stuff. I’m glad she made it through, and I join to chorus of congratulations.

i cannot with the red dress, the shades, the car. gurllll.

I see you Caitlyn with a C.

I agree, I’ve never actually watched any Kardashian show (although I feel I still know WAY to much about them) but I always appreciate when infertility and miscarriage are talked about openly. I was fucking shocked when I started to try for a baby at 30 and faced 3 years of infertility followed by a miscarriage. When…

I agree. I am not okay with this.

Too many Kardashians, you guys. Too fucking many. I love eavesdropping on the lives of these vapid, idiotic, generally boring people as much as the next person, but for fucks sake. I think its time we have a one Kardashian per Dirt Bag rule.

This article is actually talking about a bacterial infection (cat scratch disease), not the parasitic infection known as toxoplasmosis. And actually, recent studies have suggested that toxoplasmosis is far more common than anyone thought; it’s just that most people who are infected don’t show any obvious, distinctive…

I ran a Cat Shelter for twelve years. This infection is very rarely contracted and when it is, it tends to be by people with compromised immune systems.

Yaaaaaaaassss. I’m so here for this new crop of teen and YA black celebs getting all up in their afro-futurist feels and daring to be weird in public. There’s room for that and I am SO EXCITED to see what kind of work they’ll be putting out into the world as they get older.

“I demand that I climax,” Minaj said simply. “I think women should demand that.”

Jenner confirmed a few months ago that she was “working on a singing career,”
