I had to turn it off last night. I've written about rape in my own work, and I know it's a reality and I think it's an important subject to explore, BUT. As I said to my partner-spouse (husband feels super weird still, sorry) today, rape as a plot device simply to set up an emotional fallout—and, I agree with a lot…

Not rapes that were intercut with exquisite opera music to punctuate what a BIG DRAMATIC MOMENT the show was having. Fuck this show.
I read Anne Frank's "Diary" as a young girl, over and over again. When you get to the end, and you read the closing notes - when you find out that her life ended almost as abruptly as her diary - you feel a great sense of loss. Like you've lost a friend, somebody you'd grown to know and appreciate. A vivacious,…
My sweet Melissa McCarthy: Somebody finally styled her right.
This looks like what Andy from Pretty In Pink would wear if she had to go to another prom.
I think women who reject men solely based on height (what's so fucking magical and awesome about 6' anyway?) are just as shallow as men who reject women based on weight.
Well, at least she wasn't speeding, carrying a concealed weapon, accused of domestic abuse by her ex, father-in-law and current domestic partner, or else she'd be running around free like George Zimmerman. Wait. What?
If the prosecutor knowingly filed a frivolous motion, and withheld information that they knew would expose its frivolity, that's got to be sanctionable, right?
Vendetta was my first thought as well. It looks to me like the prosecutor's office is embarrassed that their racism is exposed and is desperately trying to prove that this woman is, in fact, a criminal menace.
Except she didn't. She was following all conditions set by her parole officer, the case is frivolous and without merit.
This situation makes me so depressed. This woman is a productive member of society. She had a doctorate. But to the toothless idiots in my native Florida, she's just another dangerous criminal. It took the jury 11 minutes to decide to send her to prison for the rest of her life. George Zimmerman, confirmed…
Well actually the seats vary by plane. So they have a little leeway. They dont have to make the seats the same as first class, but an inch or two goes a long way. I am a size 16/18 woman so I fill a seat to the max. I found however that JetBlue economy has VERY comfortable seats that didnt make me feel like i was a…
It's gotten to the point that it's more of a necessity than a luxury to increase seat sizes on planes. Literally, if the standard way of getting to the toilets from a window seat is by walking on the armrests (which it is), there are some serious health/safety risks that are just being ignored.
Well then maybe airlines should let some of their precious fucking profit get eaten into. The Air Transport Association, which makes up 80% of all air traffic, made nearly $13 billion profit last year. They're estimating that they'll make between $16-19 billion this year. I think they can afford to make their seats a…
Oh whatever. They don't charge body building men more and muscle weighs more than fat. They also have trouble fitting their upper arms between the seats just like women with boobs do. Airlines also don't charge tall men more even though they don't fit in their seat and end up elbowing the people next to them and…
There should be something between the $500 coach seat, the $2500 business class seat, and the $4000 first class seat. They already have economy plus sections with extra leg room, why not make some with extra seat width? I'd happily pay the extra $60 or whatever for that (or whatever the particular flight is charging…
What an asshole. The jerk who wrote that shitty letter, I mean. Let me just say, as someone who's bigger than your average person, flying is no picnic. It's incredibly stressful. I worry every time that I'm going to have trouble fitting the seats (which are tiny anyway) or that I'll need a seat belt extender (never…

I mean, technically it's "Keep Sweet" it just reminded me of it in a way that would not make me want to eat candy. But yeah, definitely for a candy display!
