I had a really disturbing conversation with a friend who said she would not “allow” her husband to have dinner with young female colleagues. Aside from the fact that she apparently can’t trust her husband if he’s off-leash, that is the kind of shit that holds women back at work. People really can work together without…

I’ve read psychological literature that calls that “survival paralysis.” It’s a natural response that can protect a prey animal from a predator. It may very well prevent rape victims from being killed. But, we tend to think all of our behaviors are under conscious control, so we blame ourselves for freezing.

He’s right, back then it was totally acceptable to ask your employees to massage your bloated, hairy, mole-covered nude body.

Who the hell has 1950's acne like this any more? Antibiotics and Retinol have been around for a while.

God isn’t done with him, yet.

I grew up in Ohio. You notice how that guy in that clip had sort of a southern accent? The top third of Ohio was initially settled by New Englanders, and the bottom two-thirds was settled by people from Virginia and Maryland. And then, after WWII, a huge influx of poor whites from Kentucky, Tennessee and West Virginia…

I like high-waisted pants/skirts, but I have a short, high waist. They don’t look good with long waists. I however had to fight about a foot of hip chub climbing out of low-waisted pants for the last decade. I’m thinking about taking up sewing again...

A lot of that hair does not grow out of his actual scalp. I’m guessing weave instead of glue-on.

It’s Beyonce’s baby bump

Can recommend a book on this and other cases, and Rosa Parks’ early activism: At the Dark End of the Street: Black Women, Rape and Resistance.

I just watched a film of the “performance.” The animals are forced to run at high speed on mechanized treadmills. They aren’t trying even remotely trying to attack each other, and even a non-expert in dog facial expressions (me) could tell that several of them are terrified. I’m genuinely shocked that the Guggenheim…

Stormfront Barbie can’t just say she’s apolitical now. She has to forcefully embrace OR renounce all of her previous racism and anti-LGBTQ commentary. Otherwise, she’s the thing universally hated by American teevee audiences: a big, fat Fake.

My God, they have Nat Turner’s Bible! It was given to them by a white family descended from some of the people killed during the rebellion. So many of the artifacts were kept privately for years, as if waiting for the museum to exist.

We got tickets for October in...I think it was April. The morning admission slots were already gone just a couple of hours after they opened up the tickets. I’m very excited, though disappointed we won’t be able to spend more than 5 hours in there.

I remember when the New Yorker spots would run unintentionally funny headlines like this. Unfortunately, nobody cares about sentence structure any longer, so it’s a lost art.

The full body skin lightening is weird

Oh, I love me some chocolate. But this fool eats chocolate cream pie for dessert, exclusively. It’s weird. http://time.com/donald-trump-after-hours/

“Act One was the dinner itself, a meal of honey sesame crispy beef, sticky rice and chocolate cream pie for dessert”

The big data question, first of all. This data has to be anonymized. Not everyone is required to file a tax return, especially if their income is below a certain level. There is demographic (age, race etc.) and housing information that is gathered as well—that would be really problematic if included in a tax return.…

Her dad is a highly successful ambulance-chaser attorney in Amarillo. I hope the prosecutor is eating his/her Wheaties.
