I took that as her kids wake her up? I know my 7 year old wakes us up at 6:30 on the weekends.

Yeah; as other commenters are indicating, she is likely a fairly normal mom for the Nordic countries in which there is a safety net and benefits of which Americans can only dream. We tend to forget that in many other countries, citizens do not live with the same extreme economic insecurity as we do: they have health…

She’s not exactly flaunting her royalty afforded ease and it sounds like she’s pretty hands on. Not sure reading into things is appropriate. I mean, what is normal? I’m pretty certain there are multiple degrees of normal (agreed, princess /= normal). And though she had major major privledge, sounds likes she’s pretty…

I once had a long layover in a crowded airport and was lucky to at least have a place to sit. Unfortunately, that seat was next to a group of people sharing some kind of hot meal from a crockpot. A crockpot! Like with a cord and everything. How do you even get past security with a mothereffing crockpot full of food?!

This is also the not-so-subtle message Chinese people (ok, all Asian people) have received from white travelers!

Hmm really good point. When it boils down to he-said, she-saids, maybe only the university really has the power to get the offender off campus.

If only we all looked as good at 50.

You guys are allowed to smile in passport pics?!

Right? I see nothing wrong with the photo.

I haven’t read anything about this except this article, but it sounds like it went to the professionals (the Washtenaw prosecutor’s office) and the professionals declined to prosecute (“Criminal charges in the case were never filed”).

TF is wrong with you. She looks beautiful.

This dude. I want to say keeping him away from social media/texting, but I think his pervy tendencies would manifest IRL....if they haven’t already. (Honestly, I can’t believe he isn’t a creeper 24/7)

They don’t have their shit together anymore. I can’t remember which writer it was who jumped down someone’s throat in the comments because s/he said “Wait, since when have you been a feminist site?” They’re pretty well-established for having feminist bloggers but not being a “feminist” site, but they aren’t even on…

It’s literally the first sentence of my post. People make assumptions about a person based on their job.

If you don’t really care about getting married, then of course you aren’t going to want to do it because the whole process is stressful as hell and costs a ton of money. That doesn’t mean that you are strongly AGAINST marriage. If the other person’s desire to get married overcomes your general apathy (which sounds…

Donna also = my mother. A few months ago, at a nice restaurant, she approached my very important and also political boss (who was randomly at the same place, and also he was with other male political people) , and my mother loudly acted like they were friends, and then she told them a totally humiliating lie about me…

Jesus. It honestly boggles my mind that someone could be that way to a child. I can’t imagine it either, and it’s heart breaking.

I’m an law abiding black male and I get nervous every time a cop car is behind or near me while i’m driving, not only in my personal vehicle but also my work truck. I don’t want to say that all cops are bad but, lately it sure feels that way, especially when the good ones are protecting the scum hiding behind their…

I thought this too, but now I wonder if this is a hint ... that Radar knows the abuser to be a closeted gay.

Travolta and Douglas come to mind as seeming family men who’d be considered a list and have had rumors swirl about their conduct.
