This is a photo from outside the Traverse City KFC in question. I am not kidding.

This. A friend of mine lost her life recently and her family chose to frame it as: “she lost her battle with depression.” Because those who die by their own hand are not making a conscious, rational decision, which “committed” and “took” imply.

Nope. Best practices for suicide reporting recommend not using “committed,” which sounds like a crime or, to religious communities, like a sin, and “kill yourself” is just insensitive, crude, and poorly phrased. “Died by suicide” is the phrasing recommended by mental health professionals and the American Foundation…

Errrrrr...Serena Williams is one of the greatest athletes ever to walk the planet and is a solid wall of muscle. I don’t think her 160 lbs is comparable even in the slightest to Amy Schumer’s or Christina Hendrick’s 160 lbs. They are all beautiful women but...that comparison is nonsensical.

THIS. I’m 5’8” and 150lbs with a pretty hourglassy shape. Yet I have this constant low rumble of discontent running through my brain about it, like the mental equivalent of a bored dickhead teenager picking at a loose thread on his sweater until he’s utterly destroyed the whole thing. I look good, thin even, my blood…

I’m actually so happy she gave a specific number for how much she weights. I know the number isn’t supposed to matter, and two people who weigh the same thing can look very different, but I feel like I’m constantly hearing about women who weigh 135 and want to lose 5 or 10 more lbs and it makes me sick. I just saw Amy…

“You are young, you will meet someone else.”

if w/ camera, YES please. if w/ gun, no thank you. if w/ water gun, only the 2nd half.

When my dad got sick and after he died, I really finally understood this. I was never the type to offer stupid platitudes, but my experience really reinforced the idea. The worst things you can say to someone grieving is shit like, “God never gives us more than we can handle.” Or “everything happens for a reason.”…

I really learned something new with that one.

I will remember to use “how are you today?” after reading this.

My crush on RDJ was crushed when I heard about his political beliefs...

She did say that but she had been dressing up in women’s clothing for years in secret before coming out. I think she may have some sort of idea of what she likes and dislikes, yet is still trying to figure out exactly what her preferred style is like now that she has the freedom to openly dress however she wants. From…

I saw a preview for this the other day and was surprised to find myself thinking, “Wait, I think I might actually kind of want to check that out.” I love Constance Zimmer, and I have way too much time on my hands, so I will probably watch the premiere at least.

Hello, Not!Ryan Reynolds.

NOBODY PUTS CAITLYN IN THE KORNER

Ah, motherhood, the real prison

You’re right. You seem like a caring dude. When you bring home flowers, pour her a glass of wine and say, “Why don’t you sit down while I put these in a vase for you?” That would be well received, trust me.

Because XKCD has every topic covered.
