They need to have a ton of gay, lesbian and transgender romantic relationships become part of pop culture, and then we can finally see a portrayal of the Love that Dare Not Speak Its Name: female friendship. And I disagree, I don’t see many portrayals of kick-ass platonic women friends in an action scenario. I am a…

Yes, I sometimes think we forget that other women deserve respect, even if we disagree

Ha! My grandmother used to sing “Reuben, Reuben I’ve been thinking/what a fine world this would be/if we sent all men and boys far beyond the Northern Sea”

Looks like a trilobite. Even their hair is primordial.

That was the longest Vine, ever.

That was her first mistake. Being a female, that is.

Bea Arthur was an ex-Marine. The ID picture and personality assessment test results are priceless: http://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/cele…

Jesus, I remember those recommended weights! I’m 5'7" and big boned; there was no way to achieve that low of a weight w/o starvation. I got down to 125 and my parents started to get worried. Even then, with my frame, size 5 was the lowest I could go.

Ah no- the excellent documentary What Happened, Miss Simone?, was nominated for the Academy Award. Not this recent blackface biopic, which (big stretch!) will not be nominated.

He’s a freaking producer! Nobody “told” him anything.

David Oyelowo gave himself a starring role, too—as Clifton Henderson, Simone’s one time nurse/manager. The screenplay will misrepresent his life, too. He was a gay man, and according to Simone’s daughter, they are writing in a romance between him and Simone. The whole thing is such a disgrace: a truthful (and…

I was just reading about director Herbert Ross, infamous for his vicious harassment of actresses. For some imagined infraction, he called Joan Cusack a “fat cunt” in front of the entire crew. He was so hated by Maggie Smith that she wouldn’t even talk about him during her Fresh Air interview.

I can def see where epsom salts would help.

Yes, I bought mine at Walgreens in the vitamin section. I recommend magnesium citrate over other compounds because it causes less digestive upset. Phillips Milk of Magnesia, for example, uses magnesium hydroxide, which acts primarily on the smooth muscles of the intestinal tract. Magnesium citrate is a little less…

I think a lot of excessive bleeding is due to endometriosis, so I don’t think magnesium will help with that. What it does is reduce the frequency and severity of contractions, which reduces pain.

If severe contractions are the primary problem, magnesium citrate supplements. It’s a wonder drug—really.
