Many years ago, my mother said something to me (I think she got it from Dave Barry) that went “anyone who is not nice to service people is not nice, period.” I applied that rule to my dating life and it’s saved me countless unpleasant meals in the “embarrassed husband tips $50” vein.

Truly, malignant narcissists are…

I feel like this is a little off, to keep reporting this as an “attempted exorcism.” Who cares what specific craziness was going on in his head at this point? It might be important later in sentencing, but at this point, it seems sensationalist to keep saying this was an “exorcism.”

Dear dining public:

Yeah, the eye damage is probably the most believable bit of it. If he got unlucky and took a roll right in the socket I can see some damage being inflicted. The rest of it I can maybe see if he’s the descendent of Inspector Clouseau and responded to getting hit by jerking his head back, banging it on the back of the…

My friend sent me something the other day that I have been thinking about a lot. I don’t typically put any stock in stupid thought exercises presented in meme form or on tumblr, but this one was very interesting. Thoughts??

Planned Parenthood saved my life by helping me get treatment for cancer. My husband volunteered as an escort when the Texas nuts were on full rage crazy. We need more people like Cecil Richards who unlike republicans is actually saving lives.

There was a 5 month period where I found sex toys on the street three different times. One was a teeny tiny little anatomically correct dildo (it was like 3”), one was a mega cock dildo, and I found a treasure trove that included: a bullet vibe with a wire leading to a controller, a plastic purple vibe, a silicone…

I still don’t understand this whole supposed scandal. Let’s say for the sake of argument that they are, in fact, selling tissue and organs from aborted fetuses (I realize they aren’t, but just for the sake of argument): Why is that worse than just throwing it out, which would be the other option? I just don’t get it.

My daughter was 2 and during a flight to Portland her binkies took another flight, to Montreal, to visit binkie relatives. When we got home she discovered a postcard from them saying they loved Canada and they wanted to stay. She agreed to it.

They don’t care about Harper’s speech or her teeth. They just want to be nosy and criticize the Beckhams, who seem to be pretty good parents.

My mom and dad took turns being the one with the most success. Dad took care of stuff while mom got her PhD and when she was a superintendent of schools. Mom took care of stuff when dad was director of table games.

This had nothing to do with drugs and everything to do with exerting power by sexually assaulting this woman. This is so beyond fucked up. And yet another instance where some power hungry asshole is backed up by his peers. This female cop didn’t stop and think “this seems illegal and totally rapey, maybe I should say…

It’s important to me to get other black women to assert how important we are, how much WE, too, need to be protected and/or avenged. So often, I see other sistas talk about how they treat “our men” and how they fear for their sons when we are victimized by the system as well and our daughters could be the next Sandra,…

Nick Kroll’s description of Joe Jackson remains accurate

But isn’t soliciting donations just welfare by another name, technically? It might not be state sanctioned, but you’re taking other people’s money to support yourself without providing any work or goods in exchange for that. Not that I’m against welfare, but it pisses me off when people like this say they don’t…

maintaining that degree of separation from the world is a luxury.

Can we send them bootstraps?

I die a little every time someone says they don’t want their money paying for birth control and for women to “just keep their legs closed.” I’m like: Dude, I’ve been on bc since 13 due to horrible cramps and acne. There are so many other uses for hormonal bc; though, not that there’s anything wrong with using them for…

NOW will people accept that they are a normal prescription medicine?

One potential mechanism is that if you exercise as an adolescent, you may be more likely to exercise as an adult, and you may be more likely to have healthy behaviors that then contribute to the reduced risk of death,” she told Live Science.
