The entertainment industry is a tricky balance, because who they "are" does impact their jobs. Audiences want actors to fit into a nice, mainstream box, and when they don't, that can hurt their careers. We can pretend that all we see is their talent, but when the real person becomes too prominent, it gets in the…

@LLisCool: "trolloping" is a funny word. It makes me think of someone being a trollop or promiscuous woman. Or a jezebel, if you will. We should all trollop along.

@AmyM1975: I think she was saying it would be legally questionable if someone claimed it was an official and legal announcement to the other spouse that they were planning to divorce, as required by divorce law. Even if you tweet it, you still have to do all the regular stuff required to tell your spouse you plan to…

@Rofold: As it should be. Spread the Good News about Equality.

@raysfan81: Some people said they found it in their spam folders, so check there. I don't have an email associated with my account by some dumb luck, so I didn't get one, either, although my username and password was released. Two possiblities.

@SunburnedCounsel: You are very right. I get Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses really regularly (I guess my neighborhood is seen as needing serious spiritual help?), and the Mormons are always very polite and stop when I say I'm not comfortable talking about this stuff, whereas the JWs keep me stuck there at the door…

@drunkexpatwriter: Two or three times a year? I live down the street from a mission center (or something) so I get them once a month. They are always very polite and not too pushy, as you say. They also offer to mow my lawn and fix my fence, but so far I haven't taken them up on it. Occassionally they have been…

@musicalsarah99: good one!

Non-porn sex always looks so corny, doesn't it? I just imagine the chick underneath is thinking, "why did I let him talk me into this?" Or maybe the dude is thinking, "why can't I just finish this? Ack, the pressure!"

Gotta say, I excitedly showed my 5 year old Its the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown this year. I thought it would be awesome. And we had the exact same result as this. It was awful. Just horrible. All the characters are horribly mean to each other. I was shocked that I didn't remember that. My daughter asked why…

Calling this a "movement" is pushing it. They are a small group of people, like lots of other small group of wackadoo people, who have access to the world through the internet. They may claim to be bigger than they are, but we all know this is just a few people who have always existed with extreme views. They…

@yorglow: In the study, the flirter was touching their OWN hair, not the other person.

Ok, that shout out to the CUNY class? I keep imagining all those kids getting excited because they got a shout out, then the kids get kind of weird, because they got a shout out in an article about menstrual cups. And they think, "should I forward this to my teacher so she knows we got this shout out? Would that be…

@I Call LOGIC FAIL!: Wait, what Disney one is fake?!

@flamesonthesideofmyface: I think these shows, and reality show culture in general, are absolutely changing how kids (both boys and girls) think they should respond to slights. Obviously it isn't a simple "reality tv makes kids violent" kind of equation, but anyone who thinks they don't affect kids is in denial.

@CrackedEg: She is walking with Kathleen miller, the woman who resigned from west point and is specifically mentioned in the article.

Modern day celebrities are the only women who can increase their value to an employer by becoming mother. For every other employer, motherhood counts against you BIG time.

Here's another: Make no assumptions about parentage. I have two friends in interracial marriages. The one who is white with an Asian husband is often asked if her children are adopted, while the one who is Filipina with a white husband is often asked if she is the nanny. Never, ever the other way around.

My business partner and I are often mistaken for a lesbian couple. I think it is because we live in a liberal area and introduce each other as our "partner". She is pregnant right now, though, so I don't know if that confuses people more.

@babywipesenthusiast: Yuck. Yuck. Yuck.
