Someone said she would "kill herself" if she had your life?!?!?! That is so fucked up, I definitely do not think you're silly or ridiculous for blocking her. Cut that negativity and shittiness out of your life.

Yes.

Right, which is what I meant when I said that I wish every plantation was a National Park. Meaning I just wish every plantation was preserved, yet acted as an educational place to teach people about American history. Slavery is such a huge component of American history.

My boyfriend has an old brick phone so he can't even text. So....that solves that for me!

See, this is what I don't agree with. We shouldn't pretend it never happened and we should not forget the past. It is very important for people to understand and see our very real and dark history. Keeping plantations around is a visceral and strong reminder of what America is built on. We cannot gloss over that or…

Yeah...I mean we can talk about funding but "they WILL fall into disrepair" seriously? I've been to NUMEROUS slave plantations that are National Parks and they have comprehensive, educational tours, and almost everything is kept intact. I've been to more nature-oriented National Parks, and the same thing.

Yeah, jeez. I kinda just meant "support National Parks, ignore plantations privately owned by racists." I didn't mean for my comment to be taken so literally. Alas, it's the internet. -_-

I wish every former slave plantation was a National Park rather than privately owned.

It is called "dark comedy." There is a whole genre devoted to movies like that.

I think there is a difference between sticking by a good, troubled friend, but cutting out the friends that are just so troubled they take it out on you. Trust me, I've had a lot of experience dealing with clinically depressed friends and partners, and they're all so different. I've only had to cut out one person from…

I got a "cat dress," this awesome dress with a bunch of cats on it. I acted like a 7 year old opening a Play Station or something, I was so thrilled.

The Beauty Myth really spoke to me because of what you've written here. I was really worked up when I realized how accurate it seemed and how much I could relate - we can own property, we can vote, we can go to college, yet we kill ourselves trying to get beautiful (whatever that means). I remember that book…

Eh, I thought it was more boring than anything else. I love videos with choreographed dances and storylines. One of my favorite music videos from the past couple years was "Bad Girls" by M.I.A. I thought it was awesome!

For real. This article REALLY rubs me the wrong way! I wish there were more comments calling out the rude and condescending tone.

So many people think that if someone enjoys something "lowbrow," then that must mean ALL THEIR INTERESTS are just bottom of the barrel. I LOVE shitty reality tv and I also love reading books for enjoyment. Imagine that!

I can tell you're annoyed by it, but for some reason I find the thought of a father suddenly faking the same symptoms as his daughter to be totally endearing for some reason.

The amount of comments attacking the one person who did what she was supposed to do is super odd to me.

Wow, stop. You have no idea what you would have done if you were in that situation, and Beasley did the right thing by calling 911 and offering to call for an ambulance. What was she supposed to do - physically hold/restrain a drunk, bleeding, panicking stranger? Stop with the melodrama and stop blaming the one person…

I feel the same way, but its just how it is. If I am home alone, no one else is in the house, and someone knocks on the door - I do not answer it. I only answer the door if its someone I confirmed is coming over earlier, via phone.

I was just saying that its not like the commentariat is all blindly in love with Lena Dunham...in fact the ratio of positive comments to negative comments on Lena is probably similar to Beyonce's, if not a little more negative.
