I fucking love traveling and have been fortunate in my life to have done a lot of it - so I am very very conscious about what I say and to whom. Something that totally bugs me, and I make sure I never do it, is when people come back from travel and start pronouncing things with accents or using the local slang…

One thing I learned when travelling is that every place is shitty in its own special way. You see that America could improve in some ways, but also see that America is pretty great in other ways. For example, I liked that I could open carry alcohol on the streets of Florence when I studied abroad - alcohol laws are…

So here’s the thing. I thought, when Flygirl was first introduced, that it would be like. Articles about places. And articles about tips for those places. And articles about tips for traveling well. And articles...that, frankly, weren’t this kind of bullshit.

Let’s please add that we don’t need to hear about how America is so shitty compared to where you’ve been. Especially if it’s like a 10 day study abroad to Paris/London/Rome. It’s one thing to appreciate different things about another culture, but if you get home and start spewing about how the US is so fucked up and…

Rule number 1: Don’t write about it on flygirl.

Are you me? Are you recording my conversations? I have had this EXACT conversation no less than 3 times this week. I’m 30, lower middle class, work two jobs and haven’t traveled much. I feel really really lucky that we got to do two big family trips in my life: one to Disney and one to Yellowstone.

If I have to hear about everyones kids all the time, see photos of their kids everyday then they can certainly hear tales of my trips and look at photos. If they think i sound like a dick then they should probably listen to themselves talk sometimes.

seriously, I read this as a sad story and a story of being with loved one at the end. Ummh, for us who lived in small town nowhere places it's not a surprise that one doesn’t have to be too far off the beaten path in many parts of the country to not receive cell service - and lots and lots and lots of back dirt roads…

The headline is bothering me because I can’t make heads or tails of the “prepares to die.” As written, it suggests she's currently preparing to die, which obviously isn't the intention, but I can't figure out what the intention is, or really, why the second clause was included at all.

So you clearly don’t know anything about Amandla because she’s neither a model or a hipster and she’s definitely not “holier than thou”. She’s an intelligent young black girl who is very aware of the existence of anti-black racism.

A predictable post, but this song is a guilty pleasure for the thin treble open bursting into the full on bass mix.

So the husband died within a week, and the woman sat next to him for another week after? This is actually the saddest thing I’ve ever read.

That song was actually written about an elderly couple with dementia that wandered away from home.

And not every female athlete is a size 2 - in fact, most serious ones aren’t. That’s what I love about the ESPN’s “Nude Athletes” issue - it shows what real strength looks like.

Two women who are the best in the world at what they do. That’s a great photo.

Thank you, Ms. Rowling! Also, please do not publish a manuscript thirty years from now, in which we find out Harry has grown old and intolerant of Muggles.

Huh. I always wondered about the sly smiles that went with the “extra foam” orders.
