Maureen O’Hara has always been my movie star girl crush. She was so beautiful and classy. I am sorry she went through it but I’m proud of her that she spoke up like she did and didn’t just pretend it wasn’t happening.

Yes, queens!! I lived in Peru for a little and the sexism was extremely prevalent. I remember men walking down the streets of Lima, holding their girlfriends by their butts. I remember getting harassed on the street by men who would say gross, sexual shit to me. Peru has a major problem with machismo and it’s…

This...is pretty fucking cool. Raising awareness in any venue at any time IMO is welcome.

My stomach was dropping the whole time I read this. I’m so glad she got away from him. I have no doubt that he would have raped her if he had a better chance to do so.

I wonder if things are going to get shaken up enough for all the rats to start skittering or if Weinstein will just be the sacrificial goat.

Paltrow & Jolie are from Hollywood families. If Blythe Danner’s daughter and John Voight’s daughter didn’t feel comfortable speaking up for fear of repercussions, what does that tell you about the level of power Harvey Weinstein had over the entertainment industry? I hope this illustrates for people how deep this…

Whenever I think of Harvard I’m like “There’s a school with way too many black kids.” Keep fighting the good fight, you dicks.

Once a coworker told me that even after Sandy Hook he’s never giving up his guns, I realized any attempt at a discussion about it was completely over.

You never cut off Tom Brokaw.

a true fact is that American Girl is one of the best songs ever written, I’m going to listen to it and cry now

I will never understand this dude’s popularity with women. The man basically kept a creepy babe-zoo in his house and only supported ‘women’s empowerment’ as long as it fit his idea of women being naked and not being ~prudes~ about it. If literally any other man did this, would we applaud him for being an ‘icon’?

No one with three kids, a dog, AND a pristine white couch is relatable in my book. Kids and dog, sure. A white couch. With kids and dog? Nope. I’m out. Don’t buy it.

I couldn’t agree more. The fact that citizens have to donate to disaster relief and medical bills for their friends and strangers is proof that we’ve regressed back to “alms for the poor” medieval standards of social safety net. Protecting citizens from acts of god (both by setting risk-mitigating standards before…

I used to have pretty severe acne and I went on Accutane in high school to clear it up. I think there’s a more mellow version out there now because that stuff was scary in the side effects. My worst side effect was chapped lips so I was fine.

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

When you pay with card but tip in cash, it’s a good idea to write in “cash” on the receipt where you’d write in the tip amount. Don’t most people do this?!?! Also a good idea to give the cash with the signed receipt.

Somewhat unrelated, but we are now getting to the age where younger people don’t remember 9/11, and I’m finding it so weird. September 11th literally changed the direction of my entire life (I’m 31), and when just-out-of-college co-workers look at me like I’m a dinosaur when I say I was in Iraq, I can’t get my head…

My dad doesn’t watch Doctor Who but knows what it is about. I was explaining regeneration to him and said a new actor was taking the role. A lot of people were upset. He asked why and I said guess. It’s a woman was what he said. I told he he was right. He just shook his head and called them assholes.

Justine was a dear friend who was horrified about police violence and committed to making the world better in every way. She had just picked out her wedding dress last week and was so excited to show me. She was texting me trying to get me to go to “dance church” with her on sunday morning, but instead I went to a…

Check out this letter she wrote to him pre-marriage.
