Anecdotal evidence here. I work in health care and I have to argue with patients at least a few times a week that their Instagram fave’s diet and supplement advice is not just wrong but completely dangerous. I had someone leave my care because I told him superfoods were a scam, and he just needed to follow a healthy…

Yep. I have a couple friends who are deeply religious, and they pretty much never talk about their faith or their volunteer wor, and have never attempted  to convert my heathen ass.

I’ve never seen any pictures of her when she was young! She was stunning 

Why do people only react like this when someone writes about sexual harassment and assault? When journalists cover any other crimes, the comment section isn’t filled with people screaming “At least he didn’t start a murder cult! “

She looks smashing 

I saw “The Mystery of the Leaping Fish” in film school! I don’t know how I’d feel now, but college age me thought the drug references and physical comedy were  hilarious. 

My parents and all my friends’ parents would have flipped the fuck out. And I grew up in the free range parenting days of the 70s and 80s when neighbors were allowed to spank other people’s kids. 

I’ve said this before, but when I was a bartender and cocktail waitress, actractive guys never sat around mocking and rating women all night. Schlubby dudes would say remarkably cruel shit about and to women who were 10 times hotter than they were.

I discovered all the evil shit perpetrated by the Church during the Middle Ages while writing a research paper in high school, and I quit the church right then.

We had a suuuuuper creepy priest who would come to hear our confessions every month. As an adult, I suddenly remembered that my home room teachers always scheduled at test or some sort of project on the days he visited, presumbaly so we wouldn’t have to go. Bless them, at least they gave a shit about protecting us,…

I was at an event where someone shouted “Trans Bathrooms!” as we walked into the bathroom. I thought I missed a sign or something and said, “Huh? This is only for trans people?” and she pointed at the mixed gender sign. I said, in utter confusion “I mean, doesn’t every place have those?”

Dang. That made me tear up

She was terrific in “Three Billboards” too

I assume he did something to block the distribution of the films Locke was able to direct. I practically lived at my local indie movie theater and video store in the 90s, and never heard of a single one. Sexy thrillers starring Theresa Russell and Rosanna Arquette and hot dudes? I would have been all over them if I’d…

Awww, I feel like she’s actually really trying 

From what my nieces and nephews tell me, the cyber bullying is pretty relentless. At least when we were bullied, we could escape it when we went home for the day. Kids at their school use codes in case their parents are monitoring social media. A positive comment left at a certain time actually means the opposite,…

Thanks! 

Me too! I like her much more than my own sisters! 

My mom does not like me, to put it mildly, and has always given me really shitty passive aggressive gifts. Shirts three sizes too big, tweed blazers when I was a 14 year old New Wave kid, etc. The Christmas my brother brought his fiancée to meet us, my mom gave her 3 cashmere sweaters, and somevery thoughtful stuff…

Rent in my city has tripled in the suburbs and more than quadrupled in the newly gentrified city center. But entry level wages have gone up by a dollar or two. It’s insane. I have no idea how people are getting by.
