I'm more just weirded out that in her fictional universe the vast majority of couples marry people they met at 11 years old.

Okay, where's the fanfic where Hermione has an affair, and she and Ron get a divorce? I think that's the inevitable conclusion.

At my vet's old office, there was a cabinet with a display of all of the things that had been chewed & swallowed by dogs and had to be removed surgically. There was some weird shit in that cabinet.

I think a lot of the problem is inappropriate use of statistics. I suspect the wedding costs aren't normally-distributed, so that a small number of people blowing ridiculous amounts of money is skewing the average. Basically, I think it should be a median, not a mean, just like income stats in America.
Think about it —…

The first time I ever flew was in 2002. I weighed 376lbs and was heading to a hospital to meet a surgeon for a gastric bypass because I had literally exhausted all my options. The airport to the city I was going to was terribly small as was the airport (or they both could have seemed small because of how LARGE I was)…

I COMPLETELY cosign this. I am a small person and I inevitably get seated next to some business dude who decides that since I'm not using all the space I paid for, they are entitled to it. On Southwest, I frequently choose a seat next to a larger person because I am sure they are uncomfortable on planes and sitting…

I know no one will even see this because of the commenting system but omg, Guys, this isn't even our most cray cray politician. Google Corey Bernardi. He's a foaming Islamaphobe, homophobe and misogynist who has just published a book called The Conservative Revolution about how he and his fellow straight white…

This is really about the way refugees are humiliated and dehumanized a daily basis. Our government is obsessed with getting rid of them, without caring whether they are genuine refugees or what they have been through. There were promises from the last government that no more children would be in detention that have…

Fantastic article. Let's not leave the total dismissal of our views out of the picture when it comes to online discussions, either. This rant has been building so even if it's only tangentially relevant, I'm posting it.

Definitely. Though in my case I also use it to my advantage—misogynists, as it turns out, will spend DAYS AND DAYS on a single post you've written, yelling at and arguing with women and other misogynists. And this translates to $$$, which I can then use to pay my writers to produce more content. They unwittingly sign…

The problem is compounded when you are a "mommy blogger." My tiny blog had 100 hits a day until I wrote a post that went mega viral and put me up to 150,000 a day. The problem was that the trolls had all the ammunition they needed to hurt me, as everything was documented in my blog. People showed up at my front door…

I had mixed feelings on this piece, mostly because I am one of those women who has had to change her entire perspective on life just to survive on the Internet. I've come up with the million little threads in one giant encompassing web that allow me to process and cope with the harassment I face every day. I work as a…

co-signed. which is why this is one of my favorite shirts.

Go Lindy!

why dont they just call the movie The Snow Queen, which is what it is. Give Hans C Andersen some credit..what is this "Frozen" nonesense?

Female police officer: Ma’am, it’s against city law to deface public property.
Samantha: This man said he loved me and I caught him eating another woman’s pussy.
Female police officer: Carry on, ma’am.

As I said last time, If I were to use a recording in a song of people dying I would have at least contacted the families of the deceased beforehand to get permission, regardless of the circumstances surrounding their death.

Anna from Frozen. Refreshing to see a departure from a typical romance and have a film about sisterly/familial love.

These two.
