This might be callous of me to admit but I can’t help but be fascinated when I hear all this ballyhoo about opioids and think how different the narrative was, just a few years prior, when the public believed it was only black people facing the business end of a national drug problem. I covered an opioid awareness…

We already know what works. Needle exchanges, supervised injection sites, and better funded public rehab facilities - basically anything that puts addicts in more frequent and closer contact with healthcare professionals. Closer contact with healthcare professionals not only allows the healthcare professionals to be…

Recovering heroin addict here (1 year clean).

Why does she need to say anything? Why do we immediately turn to the closest woman and burden her with the responsibility of answering for some shitty man’s actions? Why does it always bounce back on women?

100%. God damn, I love them.

i think it’s super fair to criticize the sort of apolitical, individualistic feminism that Swift has taken on. It seeks to “empower,” often through consumption or solipsistic acts. it turns inward and is the poison version of “the personal is the political.”

Okay, so what is the point then? What was the reason for your original comment? Because what I see here (and please correct me if I am wrong! It is hard to get sincerity across on the interwebs, but I’m willing to engage in good faith dialogue) is you getting defensive and upset because HG said that sometimes men…

It wasn’t an indictment of all men, it was an indictment of men who have no boundaries. Not everything is about you, friend.

Personally I’ve always disliked the Versace look, which struck me as garish, vulgar. But Gianni Versace himself always seemed to pull it off in a manner that suggested he had a sense of humor about it.

But are we really going to blame a guy for couching his opinions by acknowledging his privilege and citing his sources? That seems legitimately thoughtful and potentially more conducive to a nuanced conversation that…

My absolute favorite, and one of my favorite books period, is King’s “The Stand.” A post-apocalyptic story that you cannot believe was written in 1978, still really prescient and one of the great precursors of the post-apocalyptic genre boom.

The fact that Blake Lively is more successful than her is the most Serena van der Woodson thing to ever happen

who sophie? she cute?

Olivia also had a scene where she popped off to her dad and talked about how great her bedroom game was, and how that was her advantage over controlling these lame white dudes. Like, WTF girl. STOP YOURSELF AND GO THINK ABOUT YOUR LIFE.

Augustin Burrough’s ‘Dry’ was pretty good.

Super agreed! (He dated Tyra Collette. He can marry Kirsten haha.) (ETA: Also fun fact — he was the only FNL cast member who had actually played high school football!)

YOU DONT SAY THAT ABOUT LANCE

I guarantee cult movie status a few years from now!

Right-o. It’s not like she’s advocating against medicine for children.

It’s a well-known fact that psychopaths are obsessed with pants-zipping.
