I thought we punished white people by going to their schools and marrying into their families.

Watership Down. Of course, I fell in love with it when I was still a kid, so I guess it was for kids after all. Or at least one kid. Me.

Depending on your income level, is it that unforgivable to not know what filet mignon is?

Worse though is meeting a new Internet person who greets you with "It's so great to see you again. You changed your hair." And also he is wearing a cape. Happened to me.

I'm sorry, Yelena, I'm afraid I can't let you leave the shower without properly conditioning.

My mom worked in an elementary school library in a very wealthy Northeastern town - some parent tried to get "Captain Underpants" banned. Captain fucking Underpants - because the character complains about homework.

I find it amusing that people complain about "The Hunger Games" and in most cases "Battle Royale" still remains under the radar. And in Slaughterhouse-Five... "magic fingers" in the motel bed? Geez, people- did you not travel in the 60's and 70's, when "Magic Fingers" devices were in every motel room- you dropped your…

Having attended christian schools in Alabama, this week isn't "Banned Books Week" for me, it's "New Books Week".

My favorite reason to ban a book "mysticism". The story of Jesus is a man who died with no sin and came back to life and now if you believe in him you have eternal life and bliss, but if you don't believe in him and you don't accept him, you spend eternity in hell. How is that not pot kettle mysticism

Contrails (not chemtrails) should change the weather. They are like little long lasting high altitude clouds, that reflect radiation.

some of us white sushi patrons took Japanese class in high school and our field trips were to the most authentic place in the city. Sensei was very strict about table manners, and manners in general.

THANKS OBRAMA.

After reading or hearing about instances with this, I'm oft unable to make a cognizant or coherent statement that accurately portrays or addresses how not only mind-boggingly insane abusive dynamics are but the emotional cataclysm that these people suffer through. But I'll give it a try:

Fuck.

Why anyone beyond her immediate family cares about this girl's uterus is another, deeper mystery of American culture, one beyond the purview of a Friday-morning blog post.

They look like Patti and Thelma's legs!

Yeah, I dig it as part of the overall look. The tights / leggings / whatever's on her gams look like they're sprouting leg hair. Combined with the tampon earring, you get a "This is what a natural woman fucking is, asshole" vibe. While the latex housework gloves are a subtle nod to the domestic goddess gender roles.…

wow. where can i find those blood hounds?? :D i'm disappointed when a guy gives me the feeling that my period grosses him out. i also feel its kind of misogynistic. someone mentioned it before: sperm is also kinda gross but women are still supposed to "get in touch" with it when we're having sex with men.
does anyone…

Sigh. Not a fan. An old boyfriend said about water sex: "The wetter we get down there, the drier you get." In other words, it washes away natural lubrication!

I really like this. Our society still has the remnants of "menstruating"="ritually unclean" beliefs that show up in how gross we think periods are. I'm so nervous of revealing in any way that I have a period around a guy I'm into for fear that he'll be grossed out, and, I dunno, not want to bang. It would be really…
