That’s a huge generalization and oversimplification in the first place, but there’s a great book that addresses your point. It’s a really eye-opening read: Scarcity: why having too little means so much. It discusses decision-making (and other behaviors) when you have limited resources (both time and money). Side note:…

most baby powders are made with corn starch now, not talc. check the list of ingredients before tossing it.

Yikes, guys! I feel like I stoked some pretty harsh commentary here. As much as I love to shit on overconfident men, let’s take a tiny step back, perhaps, and not blow up the bus, which is—sure—definitely a siren call to irresponsible/hubristic American hikers, but also a pretty significant monument to our own…

I tried to explain this to my sister when she spent 30 minutes telling me how profound this book was and how it changed her life and she could totally do what he did and just leave everything behind to go into the wild. Pretty sure she didn’t finish the book before saying all that. Also, she is the person who made us…

There is a reason the Into the Wild guy died. He wasn't smart about going into the wildness and it got him. People shouldn't be following his example.

I miss that show so much. She was at the airport in the late 90's - her heyday. The lounge was full. No one noticed her or asked her for an autograph or anything. She went into the adjacent magazine shop and flipped through every celebrity magazine scanning for herself - she found one article and read it. She got on…

OOOOH YOU SHOULD EMAIL THAT TO SHONDA!

As someone who has had personal interactions with this humanoid and knows people who have suffered through working with her as well, that title is super accurate.

Your sister sounds very much like Me Ma, a badass Irish nurse who was cold as fuck to us growing up but in a crisis was the One you wanted there - calm, clear-headed, persistent. I've always thought those traits are what make a nurse as essential a public service as a firefighter or cop.

I know: I LOVE NURSES. My sister is a nurse and she is fucking awesome.

When I had to take ambien I had to start putting my phone in another room. One night I was texting my gf who was downstairs watching tv with some friends that bats were in the bedroom attacking me. I woke up to about 200 pictures of blank walls I took in the dark of “the bats” and some weird Instagram posts. That's…

No idea, maybe it’s stuff that’s really happening to her or maybe she dissociated or something. I don’t know what she took but I had a mild delusional freakout once after 2 glasses of Pinot Noir and an Ambien. Fortunately for me I was in my apartment with my then-roommate at the time, and not on an airplane. If she…

Do people make stuff up like that just because of pills and alcohol, I wonder? Or was she freed from whatever inhibitions kept her from disclosing the abuse? Either way, how awful for it all to happen so publicly.

I hope the little guy didn’t hear or see too much of this... although I’m afraid he probably witnessed most of it. I also hope Selma is ok. Could flying anxiety plus just one chill pill and a drink have caused this reaction? I like to think that she wasn’t popping a whole bunch of pills and drinking heavily with her…

Kudos to the nurses who stepped up to care for a stranger to keep everything calm.

Yeah this, basically, plus the ability of the corps to be seen as a single unified group (which is why there was such a preference toward white dancers in ballet, among many other systemic issues that excluded POC.) The thing is, if you have a dark skinned dancer next to a light skinned dancer, having them in the same…

“Carried by Wal-Mart or Target” is not synonymous with “Wal-mart or Target brand.”

You’re on pointe (okay, I’ll stop) there. You also use nude tones when costumes call for it, under other pieces...etc.

Wish I was in a location where I could go see Mr Underwood dance - that picture has so much grace and movement in it. He looks amazing.
