It continues to amuse/irritate me to no end that these people - white, conservative, religious - are the real face of welfare fraud. Not saying that other people don’t cheat the system but the FLDS have turned welfare fraud into an art form. Yet somehow when some people use the term ‘welfare queen’ you just know the…

Your former boss sounds like an idiot. Hemingway is vastly overrated, and fwiw, I prefer Faulkner. That was very poor advice.

Yep. Watching old cartoons now that went over my head as a kid are really fucking depressing. It’s quite shocking just how inappropriate they are

That's a sick burn from Cecile Richards. Fuck this dude. Seriously.

This woman is the exact embodiment of most of my nightmares since about 8th grade.

yeeeaah. I find it troublesome that an article about “how Frida Kahlo really was” makes no mention of her wealthy and elite background. I think she was rad, and I love her work, but ya can’t really talk about who she was without talking about her family.

Fucking hell.

I have a friend who stopped a sexual assault, and he says it’s a difficult thing to for him to deal with (though far less difficult than for the actual victim, of course). While he knows he did the right thing and did the best he could, he just wishes so badly that he could have entered the room just a few minutes…

I feel so strongly for these men. In her letter she writes that one of them was so overcome with tears that he could hardly speak after he found her. It’s clear that they experienced a lot of heartache during this process themselves.

Ugh. I have cleavage in a turtleneck so...

Say what you will about Adolf Hitler but he did kill Hitler.

You just made me start crying at my desk all over again.

Reason #4,598,098 why people should ditch organized religion, ESPECIALLY if you are a woman.

I love him so much. I’ve never been so sad to see a president go.

It makes me sad being mistaken for my size range is soul damaging to starlets and “normal” sized people everywhere.
