I don’t see a problem here.

I’m no right-winger, but I think this is a much more complex issue than has been perpetuated. Conservatives aren’t the only ones protesting this issue, though their (underlying, prejudicial) reasoning is certainly unique.

From Dessen’s bio on her own website:

As someone who is Dessen’s age, I feel fully confident in saying “Sarah, honey, you’ve got to grow up and get over yourself.” Nothing, especially not a minor slight from a college kid, ever pushed me into going on an all-day twitter rant.

“The consumption of food was a sacrament of success. A man who carried a great stomach before him was thought to be in his prime. Women went into hospitals to die of burst bladders, collapsed lungs, overtaxed hearts and meningitis of the spine. There was a heavy traffic to the spas and sulphur springs, where the…

This reminds me of when Nicholas Sparks said he doesn’t write romance novels and that he was actually the natural successor to Hemingway, Shakespeare, and Euripides. (I’m 100% serious about this.)

Boomer here. I still think it’s funny as hell, especially the hysteria. And I know you kids aren’t talking about me. I’m not a regular granny, I’m a cool granny.

Hospitals can exert more pressure than you think when they want to keep you there for one reason or another, and I don’t doubt they’d lie to her face or withhold crucial information that she would need to figure out where to go and how to access care. (Anti-choice lawmakers have pushed legislation that literally…

At about 3 weeks pregnant (I always knew very early), I had horrendous abdominal pain. I couldn’t even stand. I was in bed, sweating, and couldn’t move. When I was sent to a (Catholic) hospital, the nurse who did my intake asked me basic questions: name, age, previous pregnancies, religion... when I mentioned I’m…

That and the fact he wrote a book called TRIGGERED and brought his girlfriend on tour to yell at hecklers who were mean to him. 

Brother likes to floss....

If he cut the cinnamon roll into bite-sized pieces and then ate the pieces with a fork, I could understand that. Maybe he doesn’t want to get his fingers sticky. Maybe there’s a dental issue where he can’t bite with his front teeth (like a new crown or something’s sore).

This immediately reminded me of one of my favorite Peanuts strips. Sally goes to beanbag camp and gets fat. Her mom makes her go outside when she gets home, and Sally stands on the porch shouting, “Let me in! I’m getting fresh air all over me!” I’m with you, Lisa, Sally.

Once I come home tonight, I am HOME for three days. I’ll have chili, cookies, and booze, so I’mma be set.

I simply do not have the emotional energy left to deal with these feckless, stupid assholes and their weak chins.

Motherfucker looks like Chucky.

Perhaps a large part of the problem is how the marketing of Joker emphasized how it was going to "say something important". I was a bit young when Mean Girls came out, but I don't remember the marketing emphasizing how the film "said something", it just said it.
