OMG. I’m sure I’ll hear about it from my uncle. He also convinced my aunt to refuse the HPV vaccine for my 12 year old cousin. Anybody else got crazy relatives that are really into conspiracy theories?

So jealous! I was aware of that event. I would have given a kidney to see her and Tina to boot!

So creepy! But now I want to read about the close call with John Wayne Gacy and can’t find it.

I’m looking for the close call with John Wayne Gacy that was supposed to be in last year’s post but have been unsuccessful. Could someone point me in the right direction?

I think you’re talking about The Crush with pre-Clueless Alicia Silverstone. I love that movie!

Not to toot my own horn, but I think my life would make a great TV show. I was raised by a low-income immigrant Latina mom and all statistics pointed to me becoming a pregnant teen who barely graduates high school. In actuality, I’m pretty far from all that. In my (early!) 30s, with a masters, and still unmarried af.…

But, what about outside the US? What if it’s Australia? He’s 42 and she’s 19. Is that okay to you? I just find your “of legal drinking age” rule interesting. I have no hard rules other than it shouldn’t give me the creeps.

This is me. I try so hard to have conversations about gender norms, sexism, racism, classism, etc. It seems to fall on deaf ears. But I continue to do it hoping at least 1 person hears it and takes it to heart.

There are 4 POC, which is great. However, there are no Latinas, Asians, or Native American ladies. So, still a bit of a bummer...

Came here to make that exact point. And how was Charlize Theron not nominated for her role as Furiosa??!!

I like you (I also think everyone is awful).

I know too many. In fact, many people were once appalled when I used the word vagina multiple times in my application to have a spot on our liberal college radio. Also, I know too many women who won’t touch their vulvas, much less their vaginas (brought up by conversations regarding tampons and/or birth control…

I think you mean to say you’re impressed with her English. She’s Mexican. ;)

Really? I never heard that and I am a Latina, though not Cuban. But, birra is Italian for beer.

It’s spelled Fort Myers. I went to high school there - an awful city, which made high school all that much worse. With awful people. Like these folks.

I’m Latina (Ecuadorian, specifically) with European descent. Growing up, no one ever believed I was Latina. In fact, people (often white) have come up with the most creative explanations as to why I look so “exotic”. I’ve been confused for being half Hawaiian, half Japanese, Italian/Greek, some European mix with…

WHOA. I realized Emma Stone has lost weight, but it’s so much more than I thought. Not that she ever needed to lose weight.

Agreed! I had to renew my passport from abroad, where I currently live. I expected it to be a huge hassle and incredibly time consuming so was delighted to find the whole process was easy peasy. Had my shiny, new passport in 2 weeks!

BAHAHAHA. My boyfriend brews his own beer and was asking me to help come up with a name for his homebrew “brewery”. I gave him some good names but he kept turning them down. So I started giving him funny/ obnoxious ones, such as Savasana Brewing Company, Zen Beer, and Enlightenment Brewing. Wait until I tell him…

So I used to know a store manager. Out of curiousity I looked up her LinkedIn page. It’s a gem. It says things like, “An inspirational leader who drives powerful results through innovation, elevation, activation of leadership development, and community relationships.” Sounds like mumbo jumbo.
