I was at a party where a woman had just returned from India and said “It was inspiring because they’re poor, but they’re so joyous in their poverty.” I didn’t slap her but I wanted to.

Not yet, anyway.

I’ve seen homophobic parents become very accepting of gay people, so I don’t think it’s inevitable. And I believe there are studies showing that tolerance actually increases the more experience one has in the world.

Of all the mnemonic devices out there Stationery = Paper is the one of the very simplest, there’s no excuse.

Violent sexism is just “a reduction in compassion”?

me three!

I wonder what’s wrong with me that I’ve never done this. I’ve only been to 8 million baseball games and I’m sure I’ve never thought of it, and I’m a big spiller. Maybe we don’t have lids on the best coast? Even when I was in college and we all brought flasks of whatever to pour in our Diet Cokes I don’t think we had…

I almost bought those yesterday, but then I slapped myself and bought regular shower gel instead.

oh I have placed multiple Gap brands ads in the same day, or same hour.

It’s like a co-ed bridal shower.

And then those people like taking all kinds of recreational drugs.

Caviar’s good when you want the food from one specific restaurant that is a pain to get to and doesn’t deliver and has no parking and you’re ordering for a bunch of people (looking at you, Little Star Pizza). For one meal for yourself though? Not good.

Go to another blog, stay there. Read the articles before you comment.

Yeah, but people always like to suggest when it’s just one partner is cheating a whole bunch. I’d say at least 70% of the time it’s bullshit.

Forest of Dean is where the kid in the Singing Detective saw the people having sex, right? Dennis Potter lives!

Don’t drag Betty into your pro-handgun shit.

I’m not one of those “oh they must have an arrangement” people, but I always figured that Lindsey Vonn, attractive pro athlete herself, was probably OK with sex outside the relationship. The alternative is that she was so dumb she thought he’d be faithful? Who would fall for that?

Yesterday we had a baking post where a woman made profiteroles with (pot-infused) coconut oil, I think that would make French people crazy but Jezebel happily posted that.

OK but I know that you pay for those stars, and I’m nobody. How did Halle Berry not know until she got hers? I think this story is very made-up.
