I know this might bring up comments, but I’m going to post anyway. Why is it that some white women (#notallwhitewomen) wholeheartedly believe that being as thin as possible is the ONLY way to be? I’m black and in our culture, curves are celebrated (and yes, health issues are real when people abuse food and end up with…

It’s so strange to me that people don’t understand “washroom”. I’m from the US and I’ve never once misunderstood that term even before I ever touched the BBC.

One dude on Facebook was losing his tits because this movie is “social engineering” and it lured him in with DUDE STUFF like cars and explosions and if it does really well at the box office, it will mean more movies about strong women.

SOCIAL ENGINEERING.

Right? Like, hi Mr. Politician. How much of your salary (my tax dollars) did you spend on your mistresses this quarter? What’s that? You took said mistress to the drive in and ate sour patch kids while she gave you a blow job? Solid.

I’m all for better accountability for what my Tax Dollars (tm) are being spent on.

I do not want commercials to remind me of how gross we all are once or twice a day

this is all lies

This is a really weird power dynamic, and I have to agree that it is super inappropriate. That being said, the student is an adult. Asking mom for support and advice is fine, but she needs to make the complaint herself.

My mother is an alcoholic, compulsive-spender-hoarder narcissist. I finally went no contact with her last year and this will be my first mother’s day not acknowledging her. It’s tough because there is always an innate desire to please, to be a good person to your mother. But when it just gets thrown in your face and…

Thanks for this piece, Natasha. For me it’s my Dad who I had to blacklist. I still get really tired of people who tell me “but but but he’s your Dad”. So what. He was no father. Sometimes being a Dad merely boils down to getting someone pregnant, and I resent being made to feel like I’m in his eternal debt because he…

Thanks for this. This shit is so goddamn hard.

It’s not about insulting. It’s about hanging out with someone who just read something on a blog and think they’re more informed than my dietitian about nutrition science (and my medical history). It happens more often than you think, and it gets fatiguing after a while.

I have medical issues that have had me working with Clinical Dietitians for years, since I have to eat a very specific way. And it never fails: someone will see me eat my lower calorie diet, and tell me I HAVE to do the Paleo diet. I HAVE to do the Keto/Super-Low-Carb diet. I HAVE to go gluten free. I HAVE to do…

Before going to a hairstylist, I’d go to a doctor and resolve whether or not you have hypothyroidism. If you have it, your stylist will have to tailor his or her advice to your medical issues.

I'm 25 and the roller rink was a HUGE part of my burgeoning pre-teen sexuality. Nothing like sweatily holding the hand of your middle school boyfriend, couple skating to Ludacris's "Fantasy."

My exact reaction. I googled it and apparently there's ONE place in Des Moines that's known for it.

Des Moines, flyover country no more.
