If you watched the entire video, you would see that their initial contact is back to back. He didn’t shove her. They backed into each other and then she turned around, yelled at him, and raised her fist in a threatening manner. When he grabbed her arm, it was because he wanted to stop her from hitting him. He never…

I think your take on this is spot on and I’m actually wondering if many people didn’t watch the entire video. If you watched where he “pushed” her as he was trying to get to the bar, he actually had his back to her. I’ve put my time in behind a bar and it looked exactly like what I’ve seen a thousand other times; he…

I don’t really understand why people say she “curates” her entire social life. Of course she curates the photos, just like everybody else on social media. I live in Florida, so a couple of times a year, my friends and I will rent a beach house for the weekend. We’ll have a couple activities to do together, otherwise…

I spent four years working at a credit union and one of the big things I had to do was talk to people about their options once they they had reached a point where they could no longer keep their checking account positive. About 90% of those people were talking to me because they had gotten into a bad situation with a…

I’ve just boiled it down to the fact that the prison has a library and there’s not much else to do, though for the most part, the references seem to be pretty mainstream. The more obscure stuff seems to be for Piper and those like her.

Cocoa and New Smyrna are huge for shark bites, but they’re often relatively minor. I’m in the panhandlerand th we mostly follow the “swim at your own risk” model. It seems to work for us.

I live in Florida and the closest shark attacks to my area (that I can remember) happened 10 years ago nearly 200 miles down the coast. I can only think of two drownings, but they were both boat related. In some areas it’s hard to justify the need for lifeguards

Shootings might be rare, but retaliation in some form or another is not. I’ve had to deal with a co-worker making my life hell after I turned him down and I’ve been screamed at by a total stranger who tried to pick me up outside a bar. Those “minor” retaliations can easily turn into big ones and there are no…

I was actually enjoying this article until I saw another unnecessary crack at people from the south. Frankly, it’s getting kind of old and it would be nice if the writers at Jezebel would take a second to examine their bad habit of engaging in downward social comparisons.

My best is married with two children and lives four hours away. I spend the weekend at her house several times a year, but she can’t come visit me because bringing the kids would be too much of a hassle (understandable) and she can’t leave them with her husband for the weekend.

I work at a library and romances are some of our most popular books to check out. If you put a book in a patron’s hand that doesn’t fit the standard white-protagonist mold, I’ve found that they’ll read it and enjoy it, but you actually have to take the steps to direct them there.

Stop trying to pretend and just admit that you’re a person who just doesn’t like fat people. If that wasn’t the case, you wouldn’t snark on pictures of her exercising and jump to the conclusion that it’s only a staged photo.

While it’s awesome to have an actual plus-size woman represented in the fashion world, I think it’s safe to say that she’s a bit larger than the size she’s representing herself to be. I look at pictures of my friends and myself who are a bit smaller compared to her and yet are dress and jeans sizes are larger. And…

I’ve struggled with my weight for the past ten years and my father took the same approach that you’re doing here. He took every opportunity to let me know unhealthy I was and that I should have no reason to be happy with my physical appearance.

I agree. I recently went into my local Torrid and when I asked if they might have a pair of shorts in size 24, they tried to talk me down to size 20 based off comparisons to Tess Holliday. I’m still a size 24. She’s a beautiful woman and it’s great to see more body diversity, but I just wish that she could just be…

Blood and urine samples were taken from her within four hours of the alleged incident and both tested negative for GHB as well as more than 180 other drugs that they tested for. The medical professionals, law enforcement officers, and her friends that she interacted with immediately after the incident described her as…

Thank you for this! I had a friend in college that was allergic to eggs, shellfish, and dairy (not lactose intolerance, but an actual allergy) and restaurants consistently ignored her when she would request things like no may or no butter. The worst part about it was that she would never send her food back and she…

The library I work at used to have a security guard until we decided to take it one step further. Now we have a sheriff’s deputy on site whenever we’re open. It’s ridiculous.

I am just now realizing that I missed this too. The whole time she was staring at the thing and I was like “Geez, take a picture sweetie.”

The clothes are available at Torrid as well and honestly, I couldn't be more excited.
