The people saying Amy can do better have very clearly never seen PubLIZity (“it’s based on our names”).

I’m happy to sign onto that social contract the second it’s equitably applied. The very moment someone calls Russell Crowe a homewrecker, I’ll get on board. Until then, it’s just an excuse to slut-shame women for behavior in which men engage with impunity. I’ll pass.

I won’t call her out on the affair—he broke vows, she didn’t. She owes nothing to another person’s marriage. That said, the way she taunted the first wife was borderline sociopathic.

Teach me????? I gained like 50 lbs quitting smoking and when a guy checked me out on the train yesterday, I looked around to see who he was into. I spent the rest of the ride remembering not so much my past weight, but the incredible self-confidence it entailed.

The now-infamous Kentucky Clerk Kim Davis decided she’d rather go to jail have her 15 minutes as a Republican wet dream than do her job Thursday.

You’re afraid of making an irreparable mistake, symbolized by the tattoo.

Uh, no. It’s not like, well over here we have a pile of our American dollars. That funds our cruelty-free products. Over here, we have our Chinese yuan. Those fund our animal testing. It’s not that she doesn’t want to end up with an eye shadow that was tested on an animal. It’s that MAC has had a policy of not testing…

PETA kills almost 100% of the animals that it takes in and doesn’t believe in pets. I would say working at a no-kill shelter is diametrically opposed to views espoused by PETA.

Jesus. Find another website, troll.

You didn’t offend or give a bad impression! I just felt like I could write 1,000 words on the subject or orthorexia (I completely agree with your take) when the thing that mattered was acknowledging your struggle and mine.

There are two things I’d like to talk about here, but I’ll skip my thoughts/feelings about orthorexia. What I want to say is that binge eating is perhaps one of the loneliest, shameful things I have experienced and continue to struggle with. (I say shameful in the sense of having internalized external judgment, not…

Right? At least it names the thing instead of pretending excessively restrictive eating codified as a lifestyle is anything but disordered eating. Also, if people outside my family heard the jokes my family (literally every member of which has/had either an exercise addiction or eating disorder), I can’t imagine the…

If you’d seen photos of the childrens’ homes for kids with HIV from late 80s Romania, they looked happier and healthier than these two kids.

So false. This bride is a wacko, but the shower gift is distinct from the wedding gift.

Oh, good. That person who claims they’d have done something nonchalantly heroic in the same situation but who would’ve done exactly the thing you did has shown up.

Oh, no no no. The guests have a year to give a gift, but recipients have 3 months to send a note. http://www.emilypost.com/weddings/weddi…

So here’s my question: you have a full year—365 days—to get a couple a gift, according to the rules of etiquette I’m certain this bride follows. Are you telling me she stewed on this for one solid year, ticking off people on her Owes Me a Gift list, biting her nails as her one year anniversary drew near and she was…

Aside from the weird premise, what’s with their weird grammar. Was thrownroles.com taken?

Setting aside all of the Katrina offensiveness (which is substantial and stomach-turning), let’s take a moment to take a jab at Chicago: you already had this opportunity to rebuild after a catastrophe. It was the Great Chicago Fire. If you got to rebuild your whole fucking city once already and that shithole is still…

I have a kickass job that I love and pays me well enough to get by just fine living in one of the most expensive cities in the country. I’ve also got a minimum of 3 tattoos visible at all times . That also wasn’t the point of the article.
