Hahaaha. I'M SORRY. Well, I just went through this actually, as 1/2&1/2 was the last bastion of liquid lies (except kefir ssshhhhh) that I just could not/would not give up, coffee to me was the cream & shugs...and then I moved to France, where 1/2&1/2 doesn't exist. They have heavy cream, which is disgusting in…

I need you to know this! Okay, carry on. I live in France now, after spending 11 years in Portland, OR. In Portland, everything is made out of kale -vs- France that has a deep-seated cultural amnesia problem involving kale. It's real. Be warned, the whole country is a kale-shaming zone. Not because they are awful…

I scream-cried when I saw the word eldritch above, bra-fucking-vo!!!!

Damn it. I promised myself I was going to not be contrary-Mary all the time. But I just can't with this article. Cannot.

Exactly! I love my niece, and I've gotten used to the name. Her best friend's name is Nevaeh too, so there are two of them :)

Thank you, great point. As someone that identifies as gay, that's exactly right. It's historically important, and although it may be less important now, how much less important depends on where one is, who one is, etc. It's the same argument I use to apply to gay bars, and the subsequent lamentation that they are less…

Having spent almost a decade in New Orleans, I encountered truly wonderful names, cajun/creole/french/african combos! However, my first experience with a real distaste for a "different" (I will write an article about how much I hate the word different to refer to people, lifestyles, things..., although it's better…

I never said it was the devil's work to postulate on someone's sexuality, I was specifically referring to celebrities that are suspected of being gay and then hounded by the media about it ad nauseam, that, I believe, is indeed an ugly thing. It is impossible to NOT make judgements, and I speculate about other…

Lovely! I hope to visit Rome this summer. I'm in Lyon, France...and as I stated above, the winter has been so mild. American Apparel hoodie almost all winter :) so into it. I bet Rome is amazing. Enjoy the beauty.

You're probably right, but at least I put the following sentence after it, which I think exposes that the concept is faulty. Although I strive to not make assumptions about people, that is simply the outward expressive action/words part of it, we all constantly make assumptions in the internal realm, it's impossible…

Exactly!

No, Ellen Page came out yesterday in a heartfelt speech. For me, the pain was palpable and I thought it was timely, brave, and awesome. She was playing a character, in a skit, on a skit-show 6 years ago. In the spirit of not making assumptions, I prefer to let people tell me what they are. Does that mean my gaydar…

I was being silly about really wanting one. I read online that they were originally brought to the states for medical research, and that makes me really angry. I'm glad that (some) will go to people who will care for them (as long as they stay small?) but the idea that they were bred for these purposes and are still…

Absolutely. Part of the problem, and I have researched this because I was hands-down going to get one! is that there is no guarantee that it will stay small, ostensibly you could buy a "teacup" pig and it could grow to be 200 lbs. There are totally pigs that will stay small, but it is necessary to do research, like…

Where is it?

Yes, it's in bad taste. I'm sorry, but considering the resounding joy of this post, it is difficult to see your comment floating there without responding. It sounds like you've quite the dilemma, and curiosity can be tricky, but I would only consider posing the question after I knew someone and my curiosity was more…

This is important for me to say because I haven't read it in any of the comments yet, so in the spirit of making informed decisions: Uggs are made just like leather, I have encountered the running-assumption over & over from wide-eyed friends that Uggs are synthetic save the wool, but they're not. They're also really…

Hello everyone, my name is ladymisswomanchild and I have something to say:

I was really excited about this video until "the hijab scene", which I found, contrary to the AP's recent findings on the neutrality of certain words, islamophbic. If we take the video at its meaning and therefore switch the roles, where Nissar is a woman in a hijab, and her female friend stops by, the exchange is…
