Laws of consent are different in cases of prostitution. Also, according to WaPo he plead out to avoid charges of having loads of kiddie porn on his phone. So don’t waste your sympathy.

I think she looks a lot like Kim K (with blonde hair, obs) in the photo up top.

Thanks! Yeah, I don’t really miss upstate too much. The topography is a lot more interesting than the Midwest, and the pizza is way better. That’s about it.

Thank you. The hoarding isn’t new - she’s been doing it to some extent since before I was born, I think. She’s had issues with depression off and on since she was a teen, though it may be getting worse with age.

Huh, I haven’t heard of Life Laundry. I’ve seen some of the U.S. shows - namely Hoarders - which tends to be pretty depressing. I found a professional organizer near where my mom lived and really wanted to hire her to help us, but my mom refused. Sigh. We’ll see how much stuff we’re dealing with when I get there and…

Thank you! And yes, that will be very important. She didn’t hoard when my step-dad was alive because she worked and he was retired, so he just threw stuff away when she was at work and kind of hoped she didn’t notice. My husband and I both work, but I’m pretty observant, so I’ll notice if she’s collecting stuff. We’re…

Thank you! <3

Oh man so...I am flying out to my hometown in upstate NY on Tuesday to help my mom pack up and move to come live with my husband and I in the Chicago area. Like...she’s actually moving into our house, at least for the time being. She has mental health issues - major depression which seems largely resistant to…

High five! I was raised vegetarian (well, pescatarian) in England. My mom was home when we were little, and she made all sorts of delicious recipes. We rarely ate out, but we did have a favorite Indian take-away. I used to go with my dad to pick it up because the staff would give me After Eight mints.

Groping. Is. Sexual. Assualt. Is it as bad as rape? No - the same way getting stabbed in the hand isn’t as bad as being stabbed in the jugular. It is still wrong and we’re fucking done putting up with it.

The fragrance reviews of Crystal Gardenia from Elle staffers + Spencer Pratt (!) are pretty hilarious.

At my old office, they used to get these 44oz tubs of peanut butter filled pretzels, which were pretty good. Not individually wrapped, but I worked for an environmental non-profit, so they probably weren’t going to spring for due to the cost if nothing else. They had a pretty decent shelf life.

Oof, he looks like a Trump brother in this one...

This cements my sneaking suspicion...

I love maxi skirts (w/ leggings in winter) though I wear my fair share of pants too. Cardi B would not want to borrow from my closet, but I think I’m okay with that.

Feel better!

I’m not a graphic designer by trade, but I understand what you’re saying. It’s a physical fact that curly hair (or sculptural hair, for Solange) takes up more space than most straight hairstyles. But women of industry stature of Lupita Nyong’o should have some say in how they are portrayed on magazine covers, and it…

First of all, I’m sorry this happened and I believe you.

Is there going to be audio released of the neighbor on the phone with Paul like “Oh, sure, yeah, you can totally blow a few clippings in my yard. No, big! For you to ask me if I’d be okay with it, I really appreciate it. I’d never expect you to ask me about your clippings management!”  

Maybe Rand Paul’s neighbor is an experimental virologist who got exposed to the Rage Virus? Of all the places for the zombie apocalypse to start, I wouldn’t have pegged Bowling Green, KY.
