My younger brother died of skin cancer at 26. Fuck tanning beds. Someone needs to Gibbs Smack these kids. Or send them to me. I’ll show them the pictures of my brothers golball sized tumor and of his shaved and stitched up head from where he had brain surgery to remove two of the three tumors that grew there. Skin…

Maybe we need to shift the focus away from cancer and onto physical appearance. Because the whole reason why “black don’t crack” is that outward physical ageing like wrinkling is directly linked to photodamage, and melanin helps keep that shit out.

Only a teenager would think that confidence is worth cancer. That’s why we don’t allow them to make important decisions.

I have a friend who had melanoma under 30 and another who just had a carcinoma removed from her face under 40. This is a thing that happens. I’m with the lemur. There’s a reason why we don’t let teenagers run their own lives.

I had a friend in high school who went tanning every day for a few years. She had skin cancer on her nose by age 28. Keep on thinking you're invincible, kids...

why can’t they unwind like normal people and get stoned instead?

let’s not downplay the risks of your “safer” alternative

Uuuuugh so claustrophobic. Coffin made of bulbs.

Teens can *try* to do whatever they please. It’s the proprietors who fail to ID patrons who deserve the crack-down and the focus here. If we slap them with fines that threaten their business, we’ll keep teens out of tanning beds. If they want to give themselves cancer at 18, they can have all the cigarettes and…

A Story of Few Words: A Sexy Haiku

I’m not agreeing with the comment. I’m just not seeing where it is condescending, which is kind of the principle ingredient in mansplaining. And I’m not seeing where he dismisses the view of anyone. I saw where you were being dismissive of his views, but he just stated some views that disagreed with the views of other…

You’re really going to claim mansplaining on that? He put it out there as his own thoughts and nothing he said was condescending. Is your point just that men shouldn’t comment here at all?

Do you disagree with me? I notice you don’t mention your own opinion. I also notice several other commenters sharing opinions similar to mine.

But he brought it up to dismiss concerns about the lack of women in comedy. If he had brought up those examples as a counterpoint to a statement like, “there are no good women working in comedy right now,” or “women aren’t that funny,” those would be great examples. But he’s using that to silence criticism of the late…

One man’s thoughts:

replying b/c this should be the first comment

Attention all news outlets:

What the fuck is wrong with men? Yet again a spurned man kills. KILLS. Hell hath no fury like a man spurned.

Acid attacks are just so fucking gruesome and heartbreaking and one of those things that is almost exclusively carried out by men to disfigure women. Brava to Reshma for fighting back in a way that works for her.

There’s so many lies I tell myself so I can continue to exist in this world without breaking down into a puddle of helplessness. One is that most people are, at their core, good. But shit like this, man... I don’t know.
