Re: TLC and Rhianna, I get really sick of female pop stars calling each other out for being too naked/patting themselves on the backs for being not as naked as everyone else. TLC, just because we didn't see your areolas doesn't mean we didn't see plenty of the rest of you. The worst is when Katie Perry tried saying…
I am shocked at how many people think contributing to a honeymoon fund is tacky. I've been to two weddings that did honeyfund.com and it made a ton of sense—those couples had been living together forever and didn't need a new towel set or whatever. I think it would be tacky if they were just passing around a bucket…
This bums me out because I wanted to like Solange. I don't know much about her but I loved her feature in Sex Karma by Of Montreal. Now I have it in my head.
Or it could be "fix-it Jesus", the busybody Jesus who fixes everything.
THANK YOU. I hate that storyline and could never get past the fact that he's a sexual predator. It completely grosses me out that they try to make it seem sweet.
You know, I can't get worked up about this. Shape is a magazine that makes its money on fad fitness/diet/supplement schemes and women's insecurities. Anyone is free to feel good about their weight loss, but those before and after magazine stories, especially the "lose weight quick" ones are just odious. Again, I'm…
I'm getting married tomorrow and a big reason we're not doing a wedding is because our best friends are scattered all over the country and world, and there's no way we would be able to afford to make that trip worth it for them. Our immediate families either live in town or a four hour drive away. We invited them to…
Apparently sloth bears usually only give birth to one or two cubs at once, so I wonder if her eating the first one had to do with that. When I was a kid we had a horse who gave birth to healthy twins, which is incredibly rare. Twins in horses occasionally happens, but usually one is very weak and dies soon after…
But did you know that you can still TAME a unicorn since you're a virgin? I know the magical virginity thing is based in patriarchal notions of women's sexuality, but I still wish I'd taken the time to feel magical while I was a virgin instead of ashamed all the time. I wasn't that old when I had sex (19), but I was…
Challenge accepted!
That's pretty much Judith Jarvis Thomson's argument in "A Defense of Abortion". Except her person needing a kidney is a famous violinist, and she has other fun examples like a giant baby threatening to crush you to death as it bursts out of a tiny house and people-seeds that drift through your windows and take root…
I totally understand everything you described. I've been with the same guy throughout all this mess, and I've dealt with so much guilt about him being "saddled" with me, not believing that he really wants to be with me, and trying to hide the extent of the pain to be a trouper. I've discovered in the longterm,…
I just wanted to send you internet empathy, because sex for me kinda sucks too. It didn't always, but for the past several years I've been dealing with vulvodynia (burning and pain at contact with my vulva unexplained by infection) and a host of physical things that go along with it. At first it was just the pain at…
Uuuurrrrgghhhhh. Madonna is the exact same age as Miley's mom! The whole time I kept being like, respect your elders! Don't manhandle her, she's your better! Madonna looked totally uncomfortable but like she was trying to look into it because she so desperately wants to seem relevant. Meanwhile, Miley seemed…
That doesn't explain all the variation you see in obesity rates, as certain ethnicities (as well as certain nonwestern diets) have more of a predisposition for obesity. For example, black people have the highest rate of obesity in the US, which isn't entirely explained by the correlation with poverty. Jezebel…
Being obese or overweight is not a strictly a "first-world" trend. Check out the World Health Organization data on the topic: http://www.who.int/gho/ncd/risk_f…
I was confused by that too, because when I played the Sims after that patch making nonmarital babies with all the townsfolk was kind of my jam. But then the other posters here explained that it was spontaneous baby generation with one set of genes, which makes more sense.
Oops, I ended up making the same mistake as Farrah in my response, even though I initially got it. I was just being jokey with my comment anyway, but faux grammar correction fail!
You mean "their fucking ridiculously", which is also a sentence fragment.
