Okay, but she’s living “a fuller, better life” than who? Herself if she was someone who had sex? Because as a non-chaste, single woman, I have a full, great, life and really don’t worry about missed periods, STDs and waking up next to strangers. I take certain measures to reduce the chances that those things will

Yeah, I am pretty sure that Hillary did not feel threatened by Melania or her speech. Moreover, the Clinton campaign has nothing to do with the internet-wide, intense, mocking of Melania’s blatant plagiarism. The people of the internet seized on the ridiculousness of her claiming to have written this speech, despite

Who describes their friend’s relationship as “happy and free”? Free from what? And Hiddleston confirming he is dating “Taylor Swift.” Using your girlfriend’s first and last name definitely sounds like you are a real couple in love...the language used is weird all around.

Right? They supported and praised the Dallas PD. I don’t know what these dipshit Minneapolis PD officers wanted. For the players to blame the black men killed by police? What a bunch of whiny, petulant assholes.

Yup. I have that exact same problem.

Oh, God, you’re right! What was I thinking! I guess maybe it’s just because I must be a disingenuous bitch, too, because my views have evolved over time. :)

Right - it’s really exactly how the politics thing is supposed to work. Politicians are meant to represent the will of the people and work to create a government and laws that model that will.

Ditto to that. I can’t not wash my hair every single morning. I can’t even do the wash at night thing. The only time my fine hair could manage anything less was when I was on Accutane and that dried everything out. I kind of miss my hair’s texture from that era.

So subtle, so good! On both accounts.

That truly was a tremendous film. He is just phenomenal. The adorable puppy was just icing on the cake :)

This “romance” has effectively killed my celebrity crush on Hiddleston. I think he’s a great actor and I loved him in The Night Manager and used to find him crazy attractive. But the two options here - that this is a real thing and this is how cheesy he is, or that he actually agreed to participate in a fauxmance -

I feel like that is true. You see legislation getting passed that is codifying the rights that these crazies are so adamantly opposed to. Marriage equality certainly wouldn’t have been passed even 20 years ago. The tides have turned...

That is a great phrase; I hadn’t heard it before, but in looking at the definition, it perfectly describes what I think is going on.

I have felt, without any evidence obviously, that the atrocities, the rage, the vocal hate, we are seeing and hearing from the “old guard” is the flailing, last ditch, temper tantrum of a group that sees its control and power slipping through its hands. I hope that it’s true and that it’s soon overwhelmed,

My sister is a nurse and has been in the ICU and the NICU and is just a pillar of calm in any situation. She, too, is known as the unemotional one in our family, but she is fucking stellar at patient care - both the “what to do” as well as the “how to do it kindly and with empathy” parts of the equation. Nurses kick

I get my t-shirts and tank tops from Everlane. They are primarily online and do great basics at not insane prices. They have a number of different styles, too...

Oh, it factored in for me, sure! There were just plenty of other reasons, too. I am hugely excited about the nominee (and eventual president!!) being a woman! It’s crazy meaningful and overdue. But it really does feel like you have to preface your vote by saying it wasn’t just because she’s a woman, otherwise you end

That is horrifying. And you are so right about the thin veneer of civilization. What would many people do if there weren’t consequences? I shudder to contemplate that.

Exactly. She earned my vote for other reasons, but I am totally, crazy stoked that a woman is the nominee!! This is historic - a huge moment - and nobody is going to make me feel bad about being excited!

I voted for Hillary for many reasons that had nothing to do with her being a woman. But I am fucking proud and deeply moved to see her take the stage in this historic moment. It means so much to me and other women and little girls around the country.
