I would actually LOVE it if more TV shows had more rape story lines. . . . .because rape is so common (and I’m a rape victim and kinda like my catharsis). Thing is: you’re right. They ONLY do it for shock value. A rape story line done right is fantastically hard to come by. Top of the Lake did that shit right. I can’t…

I ask because the program he was on called him Childish Gambino, and he was performing in a musical capacity.

I posit that because he didn’t rap, only sang, he was Donald Glover, and it’s not shade.

I love Donald Glover and I love beards but I’m not loving this beard on him and now I’m very confused.

Can I get a shade ruling on the decision to call him Donald Glover instead of Childish Gambino?

MY PET ROCK RECENTLY DIED AND I REALLY TAKE OFFENSE TO YOUR COMMENT.

Why apologize? There are worse costumes than this and this one was great for one of those "wear your most terrible outfit" parties.

... is it insensitive to go as a dead lion? Like. I’m genuinely asking this because I really don’t know where the line is anymore.

One of the best pieces of advice I’ve gotten from my parents is that you should go to funerals. I know they can be uncomfortable, but even when someone’s grandma dies and she’s 85, it will mean a lot to that person that you’re there. I remember the faces I saw when I walked into the church for my dad’s. I’ve never…

I’m not a fan of open caskets, but though not very religious myself, I find funerals help. Don’t know why, I bawl my eyes out every time I lay eyes on the grieving family, but maybe there’s some catharsis. Or maybe there’s a God at work, or maybe it’s just the priest hits all the right notes. I don’t know what it is.…

My mother has a theory that spouses who won’t even consider using each other’s toothbrush are destined for divorce. She has a point...

this is helpful, to me, because i was not aware of breast cancer before this very moment.

His lips are pursed, not tender, his tongue juts in and out

AHS did it in Coven when Madison (Emma Roberts) gets gang raped at a frat party. I think the show handled her character’s rape with care because it really focused on HER and her ordeal. There was a shot of her in the shower just broken down and this was after she had established herself as this bitchy, easy to judge…

This!

Normal people go to the internet for their nudes. This guy obviously wants to dominate the girls. He doesn’t care about the pictures. He just wants to show he can make people do what he wants. And if they don’t, they get slaughtered.

Oh wow, another misogynist woman-hating teenager who wants to murder women en masse because he was rejected by a female. This shit is getting real old. People - stop raising your boys to think that they are *owed* a woman. We are people, we have agency, we are NOT prizes that one can “win” by being nice or because you…

Jesus kid get your nudes from the internet like the rest of us.

I don’t know, lupus and other autoimmune diseases are often invisible. I have RA and to the casual observer I seem fine. Other people with RA are in wheelchairs. I go out shopping, go to the beach, get my hair done...and then I’m paying for it by being unable to move the rest of the day. But no one sees that part.

I honestly didn’t know that chemo was a treatment for lupus. I have RA and am on a chemo drug (subcutaneous shots once a week), but it’s at lower concentrations than a cancer patient would have, so definitely not the same as going through chemo. And some biologics for autoimmune disease are given as infusions kind of…
