Remember when Jeb Bush and Scott Walker were going to be the Republican front runners and Trump was just some side-show that was going to fizzle and burn within a few weeks?

Our bridges are failing, we don’t have the funding to fight forest fires, there are wide swathes of this country that can’t get broadband and this guy thinks we’re going to build a wall?

You get tinselitis.

Dude I’m really concerned about what consuming that much glitter can do to your body.

Before. And after.

Brit’s been wearing this same dress since 2002, she just cuts off a few inches from somewhere random every time she pulls it out of her closet.

“Cool mom at a pumpkin patch.”

I nominate these six words for a Pulitzer.

Kudos for trying, Justin. You aimed for Kate Lanphear but landed on Kate Gosselin, instead. Never a bad thing to aim high.

but how do i find this dress to wear everyday for the rest of my life tho

I used to show horses and often brought my corgi dog to the show grounds. Usually he was in stall with a bunch of the other barn dogs. But one time I was there to spectate/cheer on a barn mate so I brought him ringside. This woman was a new rider and very timid, so our trainer wanted us to show support,

One thing that I keep coming back to is that they don’t see where the “modesty” train is, and they don’t seem to understand that there isn’t a clear line- they always jump to ridiculous things like “running around in underwear.” Like, is a tee shirt and shorts immodest? How long, exactly do they have to be to be

Its like walking around with an aorta and if someone slits your throat, you were just asking for it.

If dress had anything to do with rapes, women who wear burkas would have a 0% chance of getting raped. But women in burkas still get raped.

Even so, it’s irrelevant what those 11% that are raped by strangers are wearing, or not wearing. The one dressing provocatively is no more asking to be victimized than the one dressing modestly, and it happens to both, “common sense” or no. So she’s incorrect on both counts.

Sigh. EXACTLY. I’m going to stick my head in the sand here a bit and blame the effing Boomers for NOT GETTING how wrong they are. Ohhhh Aunt Chrissy. You’ve just disappointed the shit out of me. I never really dug Joni Mitchell, and the Runaways I rationalized as too drunk to know what was up(no) but CHRISSY FUCKIN’

BRB, gonna make some ‘murderer’ pins. And then if a man still comes home with me and I murder him it’ll be his fault, right? I mean - I advertised. I don’t have to go to prison now?

Oh man. I’m a little bit older than Chrissie and I grew up with that same bullshit, victim-blaming message drilled into my head — and boy was it drilled into us. I got over it. Fwiw, I was also raped (back in the 80s) and I tried really hard to blame myself, but my therapist wouldn’t let me get by with that.

“Oh, come on! That’s just silly. If I’m walking around and I’m very modestly dressed and I’m keeping to myself and someone attacks me, then I’d say that’s his fault. But if I’m being very lairy and putting it about and being provocative, then you are enticing someone who’s already unhinged — don’t do that. Come on!
