My mother has a velvet portrait of Elvis that is so hideous that we'll only let her take it out on his birthday. Pilgrimages to Graceland, Blue Christmas on repeat= they never grow out of it.

Sorry, but I cheered at this article. This girl is in a situation where it is clear she is being emotionally violated, and based on the tone of the article it would not be surprising to me if it went beyond that. She is not being protected or advocated for by her mother, and it seems like she is the oldest sibling. …

My theory goes something like this: none of the women angrysadmanchild has met will date him, which is confusing, because he knows he's a perfect specimen of masculinity.

Oh geez, Clementine is one of the greatest names ever. I have tried to convince my brother and sister-in-law of its greatness should they have another daughter, but now my SIL's parents have an urban chicken named Clementine, so I'm not sure that will fly.

Netflix has all seven seasons too! DO IT! WATCH IT! Hahahaha it's like comfort food to me, except I don't feel guilty watching it at all! Friggen love it. I get into far too many debates about Spike though.

We don't fat shame in this thread.

Also, please. Can we stop with the ally bashing?

The song starts with the lyrics "When I was in the third grade I thought that I was gay" and goes on to tell his story and perception of "gayness". So I don't think Macklemore was attempting to make a "gay anthem" or speak for the LGBT community. The fact that the song became a hit and resonated with people speaks to…

I'm going to start reading to them so they grow up smart and strong. We'll start with Safire's Political Dictionary and go from there.

Maybe that's the ten years that no one gets to bother us about our pubic hair?
