No one is convicting Bill Cosby of anything, that's the whole point! That's why we're all mad. You do understand that me saying "Bill Cosby is a serial rapist" is not the same as locking him in prison, right?

Sustained squats looks crazy hard...I'm going to start trying that.

It looks tough, I am going to try it!

I definitely do the exercise ball one, but my squats are always up and down repetitions. Looks like she's just holding a squatting position, that looks intense! Gotta try it.

Ooooh what is that squatting exercise she is doing with the big exercise ball between her back and the wall and the smaller one in her hands? I do squats like a monster and that looks like a really good one to try out!

"I find it difficult to believe that there isn't some way to shame the NFL into taking violence against women seriously without declaring every NFL fan to be a women-hating misogynist."

That's...exactly what this article isn't doing. Erin is saying supporting the NFL while claiming to care about violence against women…

In my experience, it depends on how the individual responds when I tell them they've crossed a line or been insensitive. If they thoughtfully consider my position, even if they disagree, I am willing to continue to be their friend and hope I am a good influence on them. If they get unnecessarily defensive, laugh at…

What ridiculously high standards do you have that someone has to meet to be considered racist by you? It is completely boggling my mind how you can be this cognitively manipulative of yourself that you can think someone can go on a white supremacist show, say horrible things about black people AS A WHOLE, not even as…

No one is saying employers should be handing out BC pills at holiday Christmas parties, sheesh.

Employers pay wages to employees to compensate them for work. Health care coverage is part of that compensation; employees pay a portion of what is costs to get insurance for the employee, and the employee pays the rest. …

There is, I think, a pretty clear difference between cultural appreciation and cultural appropriation. One is respectful (i.e., liking another culture's music) and one is disrespectful (taking sacred objects from a people that are often mistaken for being extinct at best, or horrible stereotyped at worst) and turning…

I've gone three times, and the first two times the Ollivander guy picked little kids for the whole "the wand chooses the wizard" routine so I was determined to get in line on my this visit no where near any children so I could have a chance at getting picked. And he walked right up to me, pointed just to the left of…

As a die-hard HP fan with a very large Harry-versus-dementors tattoo, I have to agree about the rides. They're not that great. But I also think that rides in general got less fun the older I got. I did pretty much burst into nerd-tears when the Hogwarts Choir showed up complete with these adorable mechanical toads.…

Right, no one thinks X-Men is real but people do believe that "10% of your brain" trope is real. It originated in early scientific attempts to understand the brain but was absorbed into science fiction, and then repeated so much in movies and books that it's become something a lot of people accept as fact. If no one…

There's another where he's looking at me like I just snatched his glasses off his face, it's glorious. He was so fun about the whole thing.

I've posted this in another Ira related story but it still rings as one of the greatest moments of my life so I'm sharing again. I met Ira once and he let me wear his glasses. I died right after this picture was taken.

I'm so sad to admit I did too. Right as soon as he started chastising me for not paying attention I realized I was texting someone about nothing important at all.

This is my HP tattoo, I love it! I thought about it for a long time before I got it (for my 25th birthday) and figured that if I get older and don't care about HP as much anymore, it's still a symbol of when the series meant a lot to me and how it impacted my childhood. Plus, little kids like it and think it's…

No thanks, Ricki. We all know how a lack of birth control worked out for Pepper!

This is why I never ever ever wanna get famous. The 2003 video of me performing "Undone (The Sweater Song)" at my high school talent show does not need to see the light of day.

Whatever it was, it was a very strong prescription. I couldn't see a thing!
