way back in the day when my Catholic school human sexuality teacher asked all the kids who knew for certain that they were a direct result of the rhythm method to raise their hands, half the class did.

Enjoy Chihuahua in July, chumps!

Jemima Kirke needed to hem her skirt so it wouldn't crease so awkwardly.

I have to take thyroid meds for an autoimmune disease, and I've done a little research the history of thyroid meds in order to understand why it was so hard to get diagnosed, why I always seem to get the runaround on renewing my scrip. Long story short, using thyroid meds to lose weight is a really, really terrible

I for one would like to see those consent forms, and see precisely what was consented to.

I'd like to ask, as final thought, why instead of defending the text you love, you chose instead to attack my taste, my education, and even my capacity for joy. I'm a stranger to you. You know nothing about me, and you seem to revere Peter Pan.

I respectfully ask you to not try to shut down discussion of racism in these books in order to protect your own childhood fantasy

Honestly, I just read Peter Pan last year, at the behest of someone who really, really loves it. It was really, reaaaally racist. When she called to ask me what I thought, I was deeply, deeply uncomfortable.

NO.

I went through this exact same thing. I took me about five years in therapy to decide to to get a mastectomy. Just remember that your body belongs to you and you alone, and no one can tell you what is right for you.

One of my favorite things that ever happened to me: one of the horses at Graceland bit me.

I was indeed Sara P. I began to think of myself as "Sara P., rhymes with therapy."

Dear Parents of the World,

When I kicked Dr. Pepper about a decade ago, it helped to have cold mineral water ready to fight cravings. Topo Chico saved my teeth.

It's disappointing that they didn't do this over AZ's Papers Please law.
