The media response to all this (except on here) has been abysmal. News outlets seem to want so badly to say that these were not arson - like it’s total coincidence that 7 historically-Black churches have burned down a week after 9 Black people were shot in a historically-Black church by a guy with a racist manifesto.…

I’m not fond of Piper either but Taylor in interviews is very different from Piper. She seems very chipper and sweet IRL.

Actually (someone please correct me if I’m wrong) but I seem to remember learning that surrogacy contracts are not legally-binding or enforceable.

You do realize that the lead character is based off of a real person, right? And said real person (Piper Kerman) is the executive consultant for the show?

Yeah...I wonder if there’s going to be more to that. The cop said something like, “Well what you did was still a crime” and I was like, “Uhh...no it’s not...”

How badass is Chang?! Mad respect.

Overturned by Mike Huckabee. He apparently believes that the President has the power to do so or that if he becomes President he will give himself the power to do so.

Ugh what is it with Michelle Obama? She’s just as classy as any other first lady! Plus, she’s never killed anyone, unlike Laura Bush.

You’re thinking ketchup and horseradish.

Preach! I don’t like yogurt at all but Noosa is like some magical food of the gods or something.

Seriously! What kind of teacher of teens would be cool with their students writing to someone like Whitey Bulgar?! There aren’t enough heroes in America to do a report on, you have to do it on a convicted gangster and murderer?

Correction: the powers that be have decided it needs a vote. It doesn’t require a vote at all; Alabama’s governor just took down Confederate flags without anyone voting on anything.

Eh, things may be different where you are (where I grew up was very snobby and clique-y), but even if they aren’t, she will deal with it and move on to better friends. Get her involved with things that interest her, because kids are less clique-y in little clubs and stuff than they are in what I like to call “gen…

I don’t know if it will be an issue for her per se, but down the road it might be an issue for her friends. I had friends when I was very young that, once we hit high school and it was clear that I was a “poor” and they were not, were not particularly interested in being friends anymore. They were taking trips to…

Dear Mike Huckabee: We “redefined” marriage when we outlawed polygamy and instituted tax breaks and other civil benefits for it...

My current fictional crush. He even understands enthusiastic consent!

You know, the hubs and I have been together forever and I haven’t really had any “crushes” in many, many years. Truth be told, I find men who flirt with me now annoying (I wear a wedding ring - I find it kind of disrespectful). Other than the occasional celebrity, I don’t really find other men attractive anymore.…

The whole “I just don’t agree with homosexuality” thing never ceases to amaze me. It’s like telling a left-handed person that you don’t “agree” with their left-handedness. I wish I could live in blissful ignorance and pretend people that stupid don’t exist.

Holy shit, no way. Where was CPS when this girl was growing up.

And since they apparently base their entire “heritage” on a four-year period of time...
