Skin color has nothing to do with sexuality. 

For real. This is exactly what contributes to bi erasure. I think its great to show more couples that are in straight-passing relationships, even if one or more are bi/poly. 

SC Charleston is great! I’m obsessed with Dallas, those ladies are truly INSANE. I really recommend SC New Orleans! They actually talk about real stuff, like police brutality, homophobia, colorism, importance of community. It is a great blend of Hot Mess Express but also real conversations that I think a lot of Bravo…

Katie is THE WOOOOOOOOOOORST. 

I’m calling CPS. 

Alright, I’ll bite and respond. I think you’re taking my comment a bit too seriously. Part of the fun of reality TV is hate-watching and then talking about it with others who watch. Also, the show is EXTREMELY entertaining. I love some characters and hate some others. And lastly, who said I bought her book? I’m a…

So, that’s what is confusing about her book. The premise is supposed to be “like what you like even if it is basic AF.” But then she flips between writing about being basic, and then categorizing herself as quirky. In the first chapter she writes about her high school experience. She writes that she loved ghost…

Maria, I love your writing and your articles. But lately, I have to say, as one VPR fan to another - I completely disagree with everything you’ve been posting about these crazy kids.

Seriously. As a cis-hetero woman, when I was in my first relationship in which my bf had a lower sex drive than I did, it seriously messed with my head. I felt like I was being rejected or that something was seriously wrong with the relationship. But no, he just had a lower sex drive. I really hope we end this trope…

Yeah, I mean, I like RBG, she’s a progressive liberal justice who did so much for women’s rights. But this is precisely why I am weary about putting really ANY political figure on a pedestal. It just makes the fall that much worse. 

I agree. I think that our community has a social responsibility to adopt. You might get beat up in the comments for this sentiment so for what it is worth - I agree with you. 

I find it amusing because so many comments on this very website are constantly talking about how terrible and annoying and crazy vegans are...well.................

So you honestly think that these plates, that don’t even make sense (small portions aren’t inherently better for you), will help solve obesity? Wow. 

I am honestly surprised that so many people don’t see how bad these plates are. These are such a representation of extremely toxic diet culture. You think a person struggling with anorexia since high school can sit down, see these plates, and not be triggered? Not to mention they don’t even make sense. 

First of all, the “portion control” part doesn’t make a lot of sense. By that logic, you could put a baked potato loaded with cheese and bacon bits in the “skinny jeans” portion and a salad with fruit and veggies and a vinaigrette dressing in the “mom jeans” portion.

Those plates piss me off so much. 

Same. I was super excited for In-N-Out when I went to LA. The burger and fries were fine, but I still prefer Five Guys. 

This is an unfair take. I’m not vegan nor vegetarian, I never have been, but the majority of my friends in college were vegan. They just didn’t want to eat animals. I ate out with them hundreds of times and it was never weird. In fact, I found some new restaurants and cool dishes because of them. They, in turn, never…

Yep. It’s weird. I also hate when people say “yeah I’m a vegetarian, very rarely I’ll eat meat though,” like...well no, you’re NOT a vegetarian.

RAVEN helps me.
