I did not expect the all-body goosebumps and tears in my eyes while watching this. Hot damn, that was good.

I saw the documentary “Hot Girls Wanted” a few years ago — about the recruitment and utilization of barely-18 year old women who are often (not always) fleeing abusive households and need to make quick and reliable money. Parts of it cover what you’re talking about here — the “essence” of consent, but is it really…

She could have shared those “questions” offline in her personal circles. No need to use one’s platform of millions of followers in this way. Celebrities want privacy, but also don’t want to be called out when they do batshit stuff on a public, optional platform.

Thank you for this analysis. My mother was a brilliant, high performing director of a lab that assessed bioterrorism threats. When I was a kid, everyone I met told me how much they respected and admired my mother. 9/11 hit when I was in high school and suddenly my mom was calling the police about being followed in her…

As someone who fell for the “but buying is technically less money than renting because you build EQUITY!” schtick, I would like to give a giant “fuck you” to those folks. I’m stable low-middle class with a reliable job and income, and I’m a bit handy too.

I went to an FBI recruitment event in my mid-20s and asked the guy if he could do it all over again, would he? Like, should I go for this? He stared blankly at me without moving for a hard 5-8 seconds. I took that as “I cannot comment, but you should RUN.”

Here it is for folks like me who went and googled it...

One of my favorite things about my husband is his no-shame crush on Chris Evans. It’s daily that I learn a new Chris Evans fact, and only like 2% of them have to do with his looks. He even talks to other heterosexual men about Chris Evans, it’s super endearing and the pure content my life needs right now.

People I wanted to Abby to get with before I’d wish Harper upon her:

My husband and I watched this last night. I found many aspects of it delightful and refreshing, except for...um...the entire storyline of Harper being a gaslighting abusive asshole. Romcoms have long gripped feverishly onto their “yes this is clearly an abusive relationship, but *squeeeee!*” torch, and this one is no…

My husband requested our wedding band play acoustic songs from 1989 during the dinner portion of our reception. They laughed/cringed at first, but then on the big day were like “these were really fun to learn and play!”

Netflix has a series called (Un)well. They explore ayahuasca in one episode.

Former Iowan here. Tyson is well known for egregious human rights violations, including recruiting and hiring immigrant labor, and then calling ICE on them. ICE raids and gets rid of the labor, so Tyson can recruit and exploit the next batch of desperate workers. Tyson is shit. Do not support them.

I almost clicked on it because I was like...does Dax have a brother named Jax? I’d like to speak with their parents...

As someone who works in abortion care, I took it as highlighting hypocrisy. Part of the onslaught of antiabortion laws of the past decades is to make abortion illegal AND criminalize doctors. So doctors who provide a procedure that patients want and need can be thrown in jail (or harassed or murdered), but physicians…

I really had to focus and, at times, questioned my reading comprehension on this one. Like, what? No...wait, really? Huh? Wow. Oh shit...OH. SHIT.

Ah! I really don’t know what I can say, because I don’t know which stories were her 1-on-1 with Ivanka, and which were in group settings.

Awesome! I’ll check it out tonight, that’s great news!

I won’t say too much so as not to doxx her, but a close family member went to boarding school with Ivanka at Choate in Connecticut. I hope they start their public tell-alls soon, as I heard enough stories to sour my opinion even before the Trump family ran our country into the ground.

I work for a smaller not-D1 university, and one of the biggest reasons we’ve stayed open for live classes is so athletes can be on campus and practice. Note that GAMES and all other competition has been CANCELED for the fall/winter season, and we knew as much in August.
