How else am I going to feel good about myself, if I can't smugly tell be people I "don't have a TV", "don't read white male authors", "only eat organic bacon"...

But (to me) the "only for a year" part is what makes it somewhat racist and sexist. It's like dieting—oh, let me give up "x" for a month/six months/year—the implication being that when that period of time is over, you'll go back to "normal." I'm 100% on board with the idea of incorporating new voices into your reading…
Exactly. I would suspect that most readers do exactly this.
Remember before the Internet when people just fucking proposed with a goddamn ring in a champagne glass/piece of chocolate cake/etc.?
People are really overreacting here. I mean, people overreact here on the regular, but this is such a non story with which to stoke the rage fire.
Seriously. I've done a lot of theater that's required me to be laced up, and eating (or drinking anything carbonated, for that matter) isn't exactly a pleasant experience.
OK - I might be in marketing now, but my 10 years of newspaper journalism make me want to punch that headline for being a straight-up lie. She didn't do it to FIT into the corset, according to the story. Sounds to me like she was able to fit in it with no problem - she just couldn't eat while wearing it.
She was crazy. The doc presented her like she was an expert.
Fuck kale. I refuse to star this comment because seriously FUCK KALE.
Here's how it works (at least from what I've heard):
Yes, exactly. It's like what do they think is going to happen or change by forcing women to listen to a fetal heartbeat? It's as if they think women are monsters who have no clue what's going on. "Oh, its a heartbeat? That changes everything! I can now afford a baby, have time to raise a baby, the father is staying…
Another idea - let's make it a reality show.
Don't look at me. This Ohioan voted pro-choice candidates in every election - even mid-term - but my lone vote can't stem the tide of the ancient, Fox-News watching tea-billies in Warren County. They love bebehs, but pitch a goddamned fit when anyone suggests spending a bit more for educating dem bebehs when they…
This is easily explained by the fact that they're not socialized. They are cloistered. Believing that questioning authority is immoral and that everyone should be pleasant and submissive all the time means nobody says to each other: "don't you think that seems like a dumb idea Mom?" or "hey- HEY: stop being an asshole…
I wish you could put booze in tea, tea is ALL I drink in the winter. And the summer. I really like tea.
Shhh, don't tell ISIS about Twitter.
I'm pretty sure doing things in order to get validation from strangers is how society happened. Oh god I hope you all like this comment.
I don't know how much of a douche Tyler is beyond complaining about a lack of parties in a dorm, but I get the sense that the guy that wrote this e-mail is way douchier.
"Quality Boudoir Modern Bitch", please.
I went to see it with my brothers before Christmas and found it unbearable. Like physically unbearable. The constant swinging of the camera made me sick. I had a headache 20 minutes in, and by the last 30 minutes I was nauseated and covering my eyes because I just couldn't take it. The random loud cymbal clanging…
