Haven't watched the video, but this seems like a prime example of someone thinking that being thought of as a racist is somehow worse than actually, you know, being racist.

Not a gif, but here's where you can donate to Wendy Davis' campaign!

I can't get past the poor cover model — is she wearing a leopard-print collar? Also, I can't shake the feeling that her torso has been mangled somehow in Photoshop or Microsoft Paint or whatever they used.

I am 6' tall. I only wear heels for very specific occasions, and bars that can't even spell their own names without distorting the alphabet aren't among them.

We just had dinner with friends and their 2-year-old daughter. During dinner, they described how she recently had a nightmare at 4 a.m., climbed out of her crib, opened her (closed) bedroom door, opened the (locked, dead-bolted) apartment door, and ran screaming down the hallway to the elevator. Her father caught up…

Are the mini eggs the ones with the crunchy pastel candy coating? Because dear Lord, I love those.

You can sometimes find the candy bars in nicer stores, but they're not generally stocked with common American candy (like Snickers, Milky Way, etc.) I buy the Fruit and Nut bars whenever I find them.

My husband and I have been together almost 10 years, married for 3+, and we've never celebrated Valentine's Day. In part that's because we have to deal with Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas, New Years, his birthday and my birthday in a six-week period; by February 14th, we're just tired of celebrating (and broke). …

Bleargh, I just feel like Jame's Franco's entire internal monologue is "Look at me! Look at me! I'm so subversive! I'm sort of into gay stuff, but I still like women! Maybe! Look how mysterious I am! Now I'm an artist! Hey! Over here! Look at me!"

Heathen here — I think I've been to church three times in my life, and I think I was baptized as an infant. The only thing I think I've missed about being a formally religious person is the sense of community. Growing up, all of my peers attended Sunday School and Vacation Bible Camp, and I was torn between feeling…

Oh jeez, I wonder how our dog would do — she survived distemper as a young dog, which we think may have left her ever so slightly impaired. Sometimes when we're calling her she'll just stare blankly at us and cock her head to the side. I imagine her mental dialogue as "Me? Who, me? Wait, what's my name again? Oooh,…

My guess is that they were trying to avoid the bulk of a second layer of satin under the first tier by substituting net. Ah, couture construction!

I don't think Jennifer Laurence's dress ripped — I think she tried to haul up the tiered skirt so that she could walk quickly, and she only grabbed the first tier. She smoothed it down and it looked fine.

My husband makes me gluten-free cupcakes every year for my birthday. A whole batch with homemade lemon frosting, just for me!

Yeah, I'm paying out of pocket at the moment — the great therapist who was on my insurance didn't have any appointments that worked with my schedule. But she recommended someone who did have morning hours, and for the first time, I feel like I'm really getting something out of therapy.

East of 8th Avenue: worse than being homeless, apparently? Or living in Brooklyn?

I hate breaking in new therapists, in part because describing my insane family (multiple divorces, affairs, remarriages, births, and deaths) takes for-fucking-ever. With my current therapist, I drew up a family tree ahead of time — it definitely saved me some time to determine whether or not she was a good…

Pshaw, one of my earliest memories is of "helping" my mother strip the wallpaper in our bathroom. My dad's big contribution to the household maintenance was breaking the door on the refrigerator as he shoved it into the kitchen on moving day. One of the door shelves would pop out at random moments, spraying…

I completely agree — I'm not a parent, but I spent a summer working as an aide at a summer program for elementary-school age kids with serious emotional and psychological issues. The staff:student ratio was 1:4, but it was the most exhausting summer of my life. You had to be on for every single second to make sure…

I can no longer see Ryan Lochte without thinking of this: "It's so weird being dry, man."
