My theory is that MM is a very hard worker in the US style. She didn’t get where she did in her career ( long before she met Harry) without a strong work ethic. The posh Brits surrounding the Royals are likely not used to hard work, and can’t keep up with MM’s pace! That’s perhaps why her assistant left.

I would murder him.

I’m not defending Warren as a candidate, per se, my point is that liberals allowing trivial bullshit to tarnish their image of a candidate is fucking stupid. I think Warren is a great advocate, however I don’t think she has the charisma to win a presidential election. That was my opinion of her both before and after…

Really? THIS has become “too big a thing?” I’m sorry, that is fucking stupid. If the determination beforehand was that she would make a great candidate and a great president--and I’m not saying one way or another whether I believe those things to be true--this changes nothing, and the fact that we are all sitting here…

This is spot-on. I think defining emotional labor as only managing one’s own emotions is near-useless when it comes to modern hetero relationships. I spend a lot of effort working on my emotions, but probably just as much time - or more - managing my husband’s. Much of that is part-and-parcel of being in a…

Its a sliding scale. He was a republican president who was Reagan’s VP. They fact he supported any civil rights legislation and signed the ADA and Clean Air Act was incredible. I was glad he was voted out, but compared to Reagan, Bush Jr., and Trump, he was almost a moderate. 

Don’t worry, Scheana will get a new boyfriend who hates her and only wants attention and publicity. Trust and believe.

Pretty much every politician ignored the AIDS crisis in the 80s and early 90s. As for the civil rights act, you’re right in that he campaigned against it to appeal to Texas voters, but as an actual congressman he supported it and voted for the Fair housing act, which got him in trouble with his constituents. He also…

So psyched Vanderpump is back! I already miss Scheana’s dick boyfriend who hated her and only dated her for the attention and publicity! More Giggy and Ken! And Hanky the swan!

I was pleasantly surprised to find my millennial cismale partner is good about equality with typical chores and cooking but I find I am still the emotional backbone of the house and it’s frustrating he can’t see it. Dear Sugar’s “I am the list” podcast episode about emotional labor division is great.

I categorically refuse to believe that anyone, anywhere enjoys the song “Wonderful Christmastime.”

I don’t even like the song and don’t care if it gets played or not. I’m just wondering why people continue to play dumb about the historical context of the song when we (stupidly) debate this issue every single year for the past 2-3 years.

Because the context of the song has changed with the times.

Or opaque enough that you can actually wear white without a million layers. Even with a nude bra and a t-shirt you can see my belly-button in most white shirts. 

I find sex scenes in non-romance books to be gratuitous. Unless there’s some plot point involved, just skip to the next scene and give them some privacy already.

YUP. There are some historical conservative views I think aren’t entirely wrong, for some people. Like, the government balancing the budget is a nice concept. HOWEVER, modern conservatives have totally trashed that (or maybe it really was always just a talking point?), and it’s no longer a real part of the…

she’s not going to college because it’s a “progressive playland.”

Yep. I was absolutely 100% the same as these girls when I was 19. A couple years at a state school (any non-religious institution will do) with just a handful of meaningful connections to professors and/or other students who can persuade them to truly consider another viewpoint can change the whole game. It did for me.

I have a young child, who I absolutely adore and would give my life for. That being said, until my child was actually born, I wanted my life prioritized over my unborn child’s life. I made this very clear to everyone who was there at birth; if it was between me and the unborn child, I wanted it to be me. Maybe this…

And it’s annoying because then other people assume that people with celiac disease are also just being “trendy” about not being about being able to eat gluten.
