Don’t despair: he’s just keeping the seat warm until Jessica Williams feels she’s ready for it, and then all will be well.

I really hope that, if offered, Warren turns down a VP slot; she deserves far better.

I’m sure that this was written with tongue firmly planted in cheek but the logic is actually correct. When it comes to crimes of morality, we as country have historically punished all parties involved. Prostitution is illegal and solicitation of a prostitute is illegal, it is illegal to both sell and buy drugs, you…

An unkempt woman, JANE, dressed all in black, stares dead-eyed at a computer monitor, sitting behind a cheaply made work desk. Her thickly braided hair has not been washed in 3 days. She smells of equal parts dry shampoo, perfume and chex mix. She sighs, staring at the monitor, brushing chex mix crumbs off her face…

Abstaining from sex with clients is a solid idea for any therapist tbh

This is completely what it is. Trump touched a serious nerve with disenfranchised working-class whites, who believe that minorities are taking away their hard-earned jobs. While this obviously isn’t true, it is true that these guys are facing huge economic losses (for a wide variety of reasons). They support Trump…

Science fiction was invented by a woman: Mary Shelley, who wrote Frankenstein, is usually given this credit.

I’ve been married almost 30 years and we quickly fell into the pattern of “traditional” gender roles. Basically, I run our lives. That’s a huge responsibility that requires keeping an eye upon what everyone needs, everyone likes and wants. You have to pay attention.

Not exactly on topic, but is she a scientologist? Bragging about getting her product on Jenna Elfman and Kelly Preston (both known clams) gets her a side-eye.

I want to see this argument roll out in a current situation: "Well, yes officer, I did kidnap this person, but I have been treating them very well. Well, yes, they've been doing all my chores for me and sure, if dinner isn't on the table at 6 a beating is in order, but I put this roof over their head. Well, yes I do…

Likewise as a Canadian I learned about the holocaust in the most graphic detail, but heard hardly a word about residential schools despite being on first nations territory. Not trying to qualify one or the other, obviously, but clearly there’s a preference across north America to discuss certain events over other…

I was just watching that old Inside the Third Reich documentary recently (followed by several guilty-pleasure trash dockos about the secret occult roots of the SS)— and goddammit if I didn’t keep hearing the SAME phrases, complaints, promises, tactics, and ideas that I’m hearing from the Republicans today! Enough to…

Dr. Strangelove and Dune references. Be still, my heart.

Recovered anorexic here. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate this new acceptance of all body types. Everyone is beautiful.

DUNE REFERENCE YAY!

Lauren, I hope you enjoy your wedding. Unfortunately, it seems like it will happen in a toxic hellscape with no commemorative leather doilies made from vintage buffalo hide, hardly any paint shavings from the walls of La Sagrada Familia decorating the aisle, and a dearth of trained Monarch butterflies to spell out…

Maybe if the skin had been creased using a bone folder it would be ok.

I write under male-sounding names online, and I have mixed feelings about it. Is it easier? Fuck yes. Does it make me angry how much easier it is? Fuck yes.

Because we are a funny people. Everyone knows this.
