You know that the Olympics already allows trans women to compete, right? And-this is gonna blow your mind-the requirements are that the trans woman in question has undsergone this wild medical treatment where they suppress testosterone production (usually to effectively zero, which is actually well below the T levels…

Why is there an obligation for them to get paid though?

Paltrow was the victim; Weinstein was the abuser. There are a great number of reasons why victims of harassment and sexual abuse do not go public, which is why a staggering percentage of such victims never do. Anyhow, however you may feel about Paltrow, don’t lay this particular thing on her. It’s deeply shitty.

Victims shouldn’t be on a time table to come forward about their abuse.  Paltrow was Weinstein’s victim, she’s allowed to come forward when she’s ready.  

It would have been so easy to just type “I can’t even begin to understand what the victim’s mother must be going through.” Because you can’t. None of us can. But instead, you chose to say she “sounds awful?”

Ease up on the line stepping. Judging her behavior is not your business and you don’t know anything about any of these folks. You jumped over the killer to criticize a grieving mother/grandmother whose life you don't know. 

What Gwen seems to be referring to, here, is a wedding with masks. Okay. Fair... I guess.

Can you please post the number for the Suicide Prevention Hotline on articles like this? It should be standard practice, even on a site that’s being actively dismantled by an herb.

Megxit is a racist and innacurate term, please stop using it. 

“And the one and only time that he did try to kiss me, I said, ‘No. Bill, you’re my friend.’ He goes, ‘You’re right. Good night.’

The mRNA vaccines are the safest, most effective vaccines ever created. Their development should be, in a sane society, considered a fantastic breakthrough. The most “severe” reported side effects so far have been fatigue and headache. These “think for yourself, wake up sheeple” assholes are going to prolong this…

You know what I would not like to put in my body? COVID-19. Unless there is actual, verifiable, proven negative side effects, I’m getting the vaccine ASAP. “Asking questions” should mean being interested in obtaining factual answers. Not gaslighting bullshit to reinforce your preconceived conspiracy theories.

My dad was on home hospice, and Thanksgiving Dinner was his final meal at the table. He was having trouble swallowing so we gave him a beer with liquid thickener and that was all he could handle. I don’t even remember eating but it must have happened. Then I sat with him in his sick room. The TV was on but it was on…

I’m so sorry. Yeah, my dad had a lot of sad-looking meals in the hospital before the end, especially since he needed everything either very soft or pureed. He passed away about a week before Thanksgiving (last year), which didn’t make for a great Thanksgiving, either. But at least a bunch of fun relatives showed up to…

The year my father was dying. He was in the hospital over Thanksgiving. When they brought his dinner, there was a paper turkey placemat on the tray. For some reason that just broke my heart. Trying to make a “festive” Thanksgiving, which was his last, by putting it on a turkey placement. There was something just so…

No. I don’t think this is her first attempt at sobriety, but these early accomplishments mean a lot. It’s a little like losing your first five pounds (or whatever) on a new diet/exercise regimen, which generates excitement and helps maintain momentum.

Brits don’t really understand that Americans both love and do not care at all about the British monarchy.

(1) Historical note: the real meeting between Camilla and Diana over lunch happened post-wedding, and went great.

Did anyone else feel that Young-ja was in love with Ji-ah, and that part of her speech about it being okay to be different was not about her being communist, but about her being a lesbian? The way she touched Ji-ah seemed quite revealing to me.

I loved this episode so much. It might be my favourite so far. We learn what Ji-ah is. And we learn what Atticus has become during the war. What was their relationship. And why he stayed in Florida instead of coming home.
