Right. There were plenty of young women being sexualized on magazine covers. The fact that Jessica Simpson was vocal about being a virgin at the time wasn’t enough of a reason to call her out by name—particularly since Portman is bright and I refuse to believe she was ever “confused” about the virgin/bikini thing,…

Also I live smack dab in the center of the state and we are solid blue every election.

Portman apologized for naming Jessica Simpson, which I think was the right thing to do. It’s personal because Portman made it personal. Not on purpose, of course, but she did use her as an example instead of speaking generally . 

Riiiight? I had to knock on a neighbor’s door to tell them to stop screaming at their video game and their response was “well, you don’t have to be such a bitch about it.” I was like “you wake me out of a dead sleep at 2:00 in the morning, I’m gonna be as much of a bitch about it as I want, asshole. Do NOT make me out…

My wife and I attended Circus Juventas in St. Paul, MN (think Cirque du Soleil, but kids). Two people in front of us would not stop talking. I tapped them on the shoulder, leaned in, and whispered, “someone should tell those rude kids they’re interrupting your conversation.” and sat back up. They were mortified. I’ve…

As someone who has loved her voice since “The Way,” it’s been a lot of fun watching her blow up. The fact that she’s got so much going on and has dealt with it in a mostly positive, humble and mature way is very cool; it’s refreshing to not learn (at least so far) that a celeb you like is a dirtbag.

Nothing says concern troll and not getting it like suing a school over GENDER discrimination because they booted you for sexual assault. They didn’t expel you for being a man, buddy. If that’s their best defense, it should be clear as day that he not only did it but has the hubris to think his degree is worth more…

We stan an emotionally vulnerable and trauma-aware queen

Or you could, you know, read the article where the victim says what happened, has text messages and witnesses documenting the abuse, and that the school very rarely expels students for sexual misconduct but in this case the evidence was very strong.

It can’t be undone next session, as Republicans will still control the legislature, and will continue to for the foreseeable future. Most of it can be challenged in court, but that takes time. The same thing happened in North Carolina in 2016, and the lawsuits are still ongoing two years later.

I live in Wisconsin and knew when I went to sleep last night that I was going to wake up to see headlines like I saw.

The literal best moment of election night was Walker losing.  He is SUCH an asshole.

This whole thing is wild, but as a former, but still enthusiastic equestrian, I find the idea that it was Priyanka's job to teach a fully grown man how to ride a horse incredible. He's an adult man. He has millions of dollars. If he was uncomfortable with the idea of riding a horse for 5 minutes, that's his job to…

Since I might as well name names, Nancy Pelosi offered a friend of mine $20k (before taxes!) for an entry level position. In 2015. My friend could not take it. Some college grad who had monetary help from family did.

My first job in NYC paid around $27K (while also having pretty hefty student loans), and I survived. There’s “affordable” housing everywhere if you’re willing to sacrifice a lot / have a lengthy commute / roommates. I think the point is, why are we all ok with this? Because I had to struggle to work in a low paying…

Former Hill staffer here...

Right? Her hair looks gorgeous and I don’t see how that’s “unprofessional.” 

There isn’t anything unprofessional about it. There isn’t anything unprofessional about any hair type. If your hair is clean and cared for, people need to myob. No one should be forced to put chemicals and all that other shit in their hair to please someone else. White supremacy in the hair industry is rampant. It’s a…

The part of me that is still 6 classifies her hair as Princess when it’s down and Business Princess when it’s all swooped up.

Maybe it’s my age (early 30s), but I don’t see anything unprofessional about Senegalese twists, especially when they’re maintained well and swept back like Ayanna’s. Same goes for box braids.
