This painting is so fucking lazy. Like, yes, Ashley Reese, that IS a cathedral, because it’s the worst rendering of the interior of Notre Dame that I’ve seen since Disney’s Hunchback movie. There are so many, many things Mcnaughton should be ashamed of irrespective of his ‘art’ but this shit is e g r e g i o u s l y b…

Yeah, and we aren’t able to afford our own co-op apartments with walk-in closet space on weekly columnist salaries.

She should go by the initial of her surname, so she could be “Sela V.”

You mean women in NYC don’t live in high, impossible to wear heels often depicted on shows like SATC?! SHOCKED!

I’ve heard another solution is to just stay home in your pajamas and put your feet up and watch television.

People get botox injections in their feet to numb them so that their shoes won't hurt. Seems like the wrong direction from which to tackle that problem, but apparently it's not uncommon.

I think you mean poly. She did come out as pansexual, but being bi/pan doesn’t mean one can’t be happily monogamous.

I feel like we’re all being played by a giant team of PR people. 

It’s actually more about the church’s control over its members, it’s part of a pattern. They’re shamed for owning a kettle, or can’t call a coffee table a coffee table, or tape over the word “coffee” on a coffee cake package. It’s weird and insidious, and I guarantee it’s got nothing to do with health.

Also as plausible as when Joe Smith got word from God that polygamy was cool, right about the same time as the hot nanny moved in.

I live in Utah and honestly, this sort of moralistic thinking about coffee is just one of the many things that screws up LDS kids—it’s not “think wisely about what you put in your body, caffeine has X side effects,” it’s “if you’re a good and holy person you won’t even want to try coffee. Or have sex. Or wear a…

If you're sincerely "not familiar" with the Mormon Church's cover up of sex abuse, then you're committing far greater offense than Emily and every other critic of mass institutions that abuse our most vulnerable citizens.

fwiw, i feel like you missed the point. lds viewing caffeine as ‘bad’ but not giving a fuck about molested children was the point. it’s the cognitive dissonance and/or wanton hypocrisy around ‘protecting’ their youth.

Why not take the same effort and send out guidance that suggests that Jesus will love you more if you help out a homeless person. Or volunteer at a shelter or some shit. It just always has to be stupid nonsense like this. These odd prohibitions that will bring people closer to their god. 

My Bday is on the traditional Memorial day as well, but my story is sweeter. I was a young kid and horse crazy on a farm full of all kinds of animals but a horse so friends brought their big old black horse for me to ride, and it was a great treat to ride him around, he was all decked out and polished so I walked/trott…

Last year the Supernatural convention was in town the weekend of my birthday, so that was pretty cool. I got to meet and get pictures with Jared Padalecki (my favorite picture), Jensen Ackles, Misha Collins, Richard Speight Jr, Briana Buckmaster and Kim Rhodes, Rob Benedict and others. And I got to hang out with a…

I grew up a Jehovah’s Witness and wasn’t allowed to celebrate my birthday. It took a few years(due to residual feelings of guilt that are connected to leaving a cult), but the first birthday I officially celebrated with an actual party was the best one.

One of my good friends and his girlfriend have decided to have a baby and they recently announced that they were having a daughter.

My friend and I own a race car together (its old, slow and crappy, but that’s all part of the charm) and so i kind of casually dropped the ol “so....its gonna be pretty fun teaching your…

This is the worst. I also saw something on Instagram recently where a “#boymom” posted a picture of her holding her son and the caption read “Girls love their moms. But boys are IN LOVE with their moms. So blessed to be a #boymom”. Which...has such strange, vaguely like, sexual undertones to it? Or am I reading too…

Thank you for trying to raise a boy who views others as equals. We can’t make a world that treats women fairly by only educating little girls. Not enough people realize this.
